Annual Report 2014/15
Date 17 December 2015

The Supervisory Board of Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S has today considered and adopted the Company’s Annual Report for 2014/15.

Comments to the Annual Report:

  • Basic earnings for the financial year increased from DKK 13.8 million in 2013/14 to DKK 24.1 million in 2014/15, which is higher than expected in the Announcement for the third quarter 2014/15. The improvement is primarily attributable to an increase in net financial income.
  • The Group’s results before tax for the financial year show a loss of DKK 10.2 million (DKK 15.0 million). After tax, the Group shows a loss of DKK 8.5 million (DKK 11.1 million). The Group’s results are within the range stated.

The results are influenced by net negative fair value adjustments and realised losses on bonds of DKK 34.9 million as a result of volatility in the bond market and a widening of the yield spread to government bonds, among other things as a consequence of exposure to the energy and commodity sectors as well as currency hedging.

  • Net asset value per share in circulation is DKK 354.29 (DKK 412.78).
  • The Supervisory Board proposes to the General Meeting that dividend of DKK 20.0 million (DKK 50.0 million) be distributed, corresponding to DKK 20.0 (DKK 50.0) per share.
  • For the coming financial year 2015/16, basic earnings of approx. DKK 20.0 million are expected. Fair value adjustments and losses and gains realised on bonds, foreign currencies and interest swaps, etc are not included in basic earnings and will at 9 December 2015 affect results for the year before tax by DKK -11.0 million.

Fourth quarter of the financial year 2015:

  • Basic earnings for the quarter have increased from DKK 5.6 million in 2013/14 to DKK 6.6 million in 2014/15. The improvement is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income.
  • The Group’s results before tax for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2015 show a loss of DKK 15.9 million (DKK -3.7 million). After tax, the Group shows a loss of DKK 13.0 million (DKK -3.3 million).
  • The results for the quarter are influenced by net negative fair value adjustments and realised losses on bonds of DKK 21.4 million (DKK -10.8 million) as a result of volatility in the bond market and a widening of the yield spread to government bonds, among other things as a consequence of exposure to the energy and commodity sectors as well as currency hedging.

Basic earnings and results for the year

The Group’s basic earnings amount to DKK 24.1 million (DKK 13.8 million). Basic earnings are calculated as profit/loss before tax for the year adjusted for fair value adjustments of securities, investment properties, debt and foreign exchange movements and realised losses on securities. Basic earnings are higher than both the range of DKK 20.0 to DKK 23.0 million as stated in the Announcement of 27 August 2015 and the range of DKK 17.0 to DKK 21.0 million as stated in the Annual Report 2013/14. The higher basic earnings are primarily attributable to an increase in the Group’s net financial income.

The Group’s results before tax amount to DKK -10.2 million (DKK 15.0 million). After recognition of tax for the year of DKK -1.7 million (DKK 3.9 million), the results after tax for the year amount to DKK -8.5 million (DKK 11.1 million). The results are within the range of DKK -5.0 to DKK -12.0 million as stated in the Announcement of 27 August 2015, but lower than the range of DKK 2.0 to DKK 6.0 million as stated in the Annual Report 2013/14. The results for the year are influenced by net negative fair value adjustments and realised losses on bonds as well as currency hedging, DKK 34.9 million.

The Group’s basic earnings for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2015 amount to DKK 6.6 million (DKK 5.6 million), and results before tax amount to DKK -15.9 million (DKK -3.7 million). The results for the quarter are negatively affected by DKK 21.4 million (DKK -4.2 million) resulting from net negative fair value adjustments and realised losses on bonds as a result of volatility in the bond market and a widening of the yield spread to government bonds, among other things as a consequence of exposure to the energy and commodity sectors as well as currency hedging.

Business areas

The Group’s balance sheet, which compared with the same time last year has increased from DKK 888.2 million to DKK 915.5 million, includes the following business areas:

Below, the individual business areas are described. The financing and the effect of currency hedging as well as currency exposure and hedging of currency risk are described in the section financing and debt.

Mortgage deeds

The fair value of the Group’s portfolio of mortgage deeds amounts to DKK 510.9 million (DKK 368.8 million).

The total return on the portfolio of mortgage deeds for the financial year is specified as follows:

| | 2014/15
DKK million | 2013/14
DKK million |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Interest income | 36.0 | 23.7 |
| Capital gains, mortgage deeds | 4.3 | 1.2 |
| Fair value adjustment | 2.1 | 2.6 |
| | 42.4 | 27.5 |
| Realised losses on mortgage deeds,
fair value adjustment of credit risk,
bad debts recovered and gain
on sale of properties acquired
for the purpose of resale | 11.7 | 10.5 |
| | 30.7 | 17.0 |

The fair value of the Group’s portfolio of mortgage deeds is distributed with DKK 362.2 million (DKK 229.9 million) in fixed-interest mortgage deeds and DKK 148.7 million (DKK 138.9 million) in floating-rate cibor mortgage deeds. Irrespective of the term to maturity and the present market rate for new mortgage deeds of approx. $7.5\% - 9.0\%$ p.a. ($7.5\% - 9.5\%$), the Group’s portfolio of fixed-interest mortgage deeds is measured on the basis of an average effective interest rate of $8.5\%$ p.a. (average $8.5\%$ p.a.). The total fair value adjustment of mortgage deeds is a positive DKK 2.1 million (DKK 2.6 million); the amount is recognised in fair value adjustment of financial assets.

The Group’s portfolio of mortgage deeds has an average market value per mortgage deed of kDKK 270.2 (kDKK 296.4).

The nominal amount of the mortgage deed portfolio has increased from DKK 398.2 million to DKK 589.3 million. The increase consists of additions of DKK 262.5 million (DKK 115.1 million) and redemptions of DKK 71.4 million (DKK 48.9 million). The addition of mortgage deeds in the financial year primarily consists of specific mortgage deeds purchased on the basis of an individual assessment as well as the purchase of the mortgage deed portfolio which the Group previously managed for a third party.

In the financial year 2014/15, the Group saw a small increase in the rate of redemption of mortgage deeds.

Luxor

The prices of freehold housing have been considerably supported by the continued low level of interest rates and the possibility for individuals of obtaining up to 10 years' exemption from repayment on mortgage loans. The past financial year saw a continued large number of – and long turnover times for – houses for year-round occupancy and holiday houses offered for sale in the peripheral regions where the polarisation of the price development between the major cities and the peripheral areas seems to have increased. The present polarisation must be assumed to result in a lengthy period of weak price development on real property in the peripheral regions compared with the major cities. The difference in price development is already considered quite significant.

For the coming year, the Group expects a continued increase of the portfolio of mortgage deeds and premature repayments in line with the financial year 2014/15.

Net loss/gain and direct expenses amount to DKK -12.3 million (DKK -10.7 million), which is approx. DKK 1.5 million higher than expected. Net loss/gain includes a net loss of approx. DKK 1.4 million relating to the purchase of the mortgage deed portfolio from a third party. The amount primarily relates to an adjustment to the Group's accounting policy for meeting credit risks. The loss for the year and fair value adjustment of credit risk are higher than expected as the development towards more normalised losses and fair value adjustment of credit risk has progressed more slowly than expected.

Net loss/gain and direct expenses include:

  • an increase in adjustment to meet the credit risk on mortgage deeds and mortgage deed receivables of DKK 1.4 million (DKK -7.2 million);
  • bad debts recovered of DKK 2.3 million (DKK 1.8 million);
  • gain on sale of properties acquired for the purpose of resale of DKK 0.5 million (DKK -2.1 million), and provisions for losses on properties acquired for the purpose of resale of DKK 1.8 million (DKK -2.9 million) have been reversed. Properties acquired for the purpose of resale have been purchased to secure loans granted by the Group.

The total fair value adjustment of credit risk on mortgage deeds amounts to DKK 15.4 million (DKK 14.7 million), corresponding to $2.9\%$ (3.8%) of the portfolio.

The mortgage deed portfolio is distributed on the following types of property:

2014/15 2013/14
Single-family houses 47.45% 38.70%
Freehold flats 7.16% 8.65%
Holiday houses 5.19% 5.02%
Disused farms 3.23% 3.01%
Residential and business properties 6.33% 8.91%
Farms 1.85% 1.22%

Trade and industry 3.89% 5.19%
Other 3.79% 3.96%
Total 100.0% 100.0%

The average term to maturity of the mortgage deed portfolio before extraordinary and premature repayments is approx. 10.5 years (10.5 years).

Other income

In the financial year, the Group has received DKK 0.4 million (DKK 1.3 million) as fee for the management of mortgage deeds for third parties.

In the financial year, the Group has entered into an agreement concerning the purchase of a mortgage deed portfolio which the Group previously managed for a third party; subsequently, the management agreement has been terminated.

Bonds

The fair value of the Group's portfolio of bonds amounts to DKK 153.2 million (DKK 271.2 million).

The total return on the portfolio of bonds for the financial year is specified as follows:

| | 2014/15
DKK million | 2013/14
DKK million |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Interest income | 16.0 | 17.3 |
| Realised capital gains on bonds

| Return before currency hedging | 7.4 | 32.6 |

| Exchange loss/gain on foreign loans etc, net | -21.1 | -14.4 |
| Return after currency hedging | -18.9 | 15.9 |


Investeringsselskabet
Luxor

The fair value adjustment includes an unrealised exchange gain of DKK 3.0 million (DKK 18.3 million), and realised capital losses on bonds include a realised exchange gain of DKK 17.2 million (DKK -1.6 million). The amounts have by and large been hedged with regard to currency fluctuations.

Fair value adjustments for the financial year are negative as a result of volatility in the bond market and a widening of the yield spread to government bonds, among other things as a consequence of exposure to the energy and commodity sectors.

The Group's portfolio of bonds consists primarily of investment in foreign corporate bonds with senior status and a rating composition which is above and below investment grade, respectively. The Group's portfolio of bonds is characterised by an overweight of securities with a relatively short to medium term to maturity and a weighted average Macaulay duration of 4.0 years (3.91 years).

At 30 September 2015, the portfolio of bonds comprises a total negative fair value adjustment and possible gains on redemptions of up to approx. DKK 24.6 million excluding foreign exchange (approx. DKK 9.4 million excluding foreign exchange) provided that the portfolio of bonds is redeemed or sold at par. Gains on redemptions are expected to be reversed over the period to maturity of the bonds until 2022/23. The fair value of the portfolio of bonds, DKK 153.2 million (DKK 271.2 million), should be seen in the light of the below stated maturity profile of the nominal remaining debt of the portfolio of bonds.

Maturity profile of the nominal remaining debt of the bonds:

2014/15 DKK million 2013/14 DKK million
2015/16 9.8 33.2

After the balance sheet date and until 9 December 2015, the Group has realised a loss on bonds of DKK 14.9 million and positive fair value adjustments of DKK 9.5 million, corresponding to a total loss of DKK 5.4 million, which is primarily due to a widening of the yield spread to government bonds and the exposure to the energy and commodity sectors. The fair value adjustments and losses include an exchange gain of DKK 1.4 million, which has by and large been hedged with regard to currency fluctuations.

For the coming year, the Group expects a reduction in the portfolio of bonds.

Investment properties

The Group’s balance sheet includes 5 (5) rental properties with a fair value of DKK 180.5 million (DKK 180.1 million).

Investeringsselskabet Luxor

Total direct expenses for the operation of the properties have decreased from DKK 7.2 million to DKK 5.3 million. The fair value of the Group's property portfolio corresponds to a net yield of 7.4% (7.9%) calculated as expected rental income at full lease less expected operating expenses.

Shares

The Group's portfolio of shares consists of one share issuer – Team Tankers Intl. At 30 September 2015, the fair value amounts to DKK 1.8 million (DKK 0.0 million), and fair value adjustment for the financial year amounts to DKK -0.1 million.

The shares were received in connection with a reconstruction of a bond issuer where the Group's portfolio of bonds was converted into shares.

To the extent that corporate bonds in the Group's portfolio are converted into shares, the Supervisory Board has granted authorization to maintain the ownership of the listed or unlisted shares for a period until the shares can be sold at a value which, in the opinion of the Parent Company, reflects the actual value of the share. Thus, the authority is not an authority to buy shares and build up a share portfolio.

The shares are expected to be sold when they have a value which, in the opinion of the Parent Company, reflects the actual value of the share.

Pursuant to the Danish Act on Alternative Investment Fund Managers, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted the Parent Company an exemption in respect of being permitted to manage shares received in connection with a corporate bond in the portfolio being wholly or partly converted into shares.

Financing and debt

The fair value of the Group's short-term debt to credit institutions amounts to DKK 449.5 million (DKK 382.9 million). After conversion by means of matching forward contracts, the debt is distributed as follows:

Currency 2014/15 2013/14
DKK 52.33% 24.65%
USD 34.24% 61.05%
EUR 11.10% 8.24%
NOK 2.33% 6.06%
100.00% 100.00%

Part of the loans in DKK has been converted into USD, and a significant part of the loans in EUR has been converted into DKK with currency swaps. The effect of this is included in the above currency distribution. Currency hedging in USD solely refers to the hedging of assets in the same currency.


Investeringsselskabet
Luxor

The Company has pegged the interest rate on DKK 150.0 million (DKK 25.0 million) through DKK interest swaps with a remaining term of up to 10 years. Fair value adjustment of interest swaps for the financial year is a negative DKK 1.3 million (DKK -0.9 million).

The net movement for the year deriving from exchange adjustments of foreign loans, forward contracts, securities, etc is a negative DKK 5.8 million (DKK 0.0 million) as a result of a volatile USD rate and negative fair value adjustments. Financing in foreign currencies is primarily used with a view to hedging assets in foreign currencies.

In view of the fact that a considerable part of the Group's assets is placed in foreign currencies, it can be stated that the Group's total currency exposure in respect of assets and liabilities is distributed as follows:

Currency 30 September 2015 30 September 2014
Assets % Liabilities % Assets % Liabilities %
DKK 82.76% 76.55% 70.13% 67.48%
EUR 0.58% 5.48% 0.00% 3.56%

Redemption and raising of mortgage credit loans for investment properties

In the financial year, the Parent Company has:

  • raised new mortgage credit loans for DKK 25.3 million. The loans were raised as cibor loans with maturity in 2025. The interest rate was pegged at the conclusion of the interest swap agreements in respect of the principals of the loans for the remaining term to maturity;
  • raised new mortgage credit loans for DKK 21.6 million. The loans were raised as cash loans issued on the basis of 2% bonds with maturity in 2037;
  • redeemed DKK 24.4 million cash loans issued on the basis of 1.5% bond loans with maturity in 2024.

Fair value adjustments of mortgage credit institutes and debt to credit institutions amount to an income of DKK 1.3 million (DKK -1.0 million). Fair value adjustments of interest swaps on debt to mortgage credit institutes and debt to credit institutions are a negative DKK 1.6 million (DKK -2.5 million).

Cash flows and liquidity

Cash flows from the Group's operating activities amount to DKK 41.6 million (DKK 26.4 million). In 2014/15, cash flows from operating activities were affected by the inflow of cash from properties acquired for the purpose of resale of DKK 15.5 million (DKK 7.0 million).

Based on the credit facilities available at the end of September 2015, the Group is able to carry through the planned activities in the coming financial year.

Risk factors

The Group’s activities are exposed to a number of risk factors, which may be divided into categories. For an elaboration of these and other factors, reference is made to the description of the Group’s risk factors in note 36.

Risk relating to equity and market values upon change of parameter:

The below table shows the sensitivity of a number of significant balance sheet items at 30 September 2015 and 30 September 2014.

DKK million Increase in parameter 2014/15 Fair value 2014/15 Change of value 2013/14 Fair value 2013/14 Change of value
Mortgage deeds 1% effective rate of interest 510.9 18.5 368.8 11.5
Bonds 1% effective rate of interest 153.2 5.3 271.2 10.5
Shares 10% change in value 1.8 0.2 0 0
Rental properties 0.5% yield requirement 180.5 11.3 180.1 10.8
Foreign currency loans 10% change in exchange rate 214.4 21.4 288.9 28.9
Securities in foreign currencies 10% change in value 153.2 15.3 260.6 26.1

It should be added that if the above parameters were to develop negatively due to an increase in interest rates, this would be counterbalanced by a certain reduction of the cash value of mortgage credit loans and other fixed-interest loans raised. A 1% change in interest rates on the part of the Company’s financing which is not raised at a fixed interest rate over a multi-year period will affect the profit/loss for the year before tax by approx. DKK 3.2 million (DKK 3.6 million) on an annual basis. Similarly, a 10% change of the exchange rate on securities in foreign currencies will to a considerable extent be counterbalanced by adjustment of loans and forward contracts in foreign currencies.

In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report, Management makes a number of accounting estimates and lays down the assumptions forming the basis of the presentation, recognition and measurement of the Group’s assets and liabilities. The most significant accounting estimates and assessments appear from the paragraph significant accounting estimates and assessments in note 2 to the Annual Report, description of accounting policies.

Dividend, repurchase of own shares and other capital issues

Based on an overall assessment of results for the year, the development in basic earnings, existing budgets and more efficient utilisation of the capital structure, etc, the Supervisory Board has decided to propose distribution of dividend of DKK 20.0 (DKK 50.0) per share – corresponding to DKK 20.0 million.

The Supervisory Board has authority to let the Company acquire own shares for up to a nominal amount of DKK 10.0 million. The acquisition must take place at prices which do not deviate more than +/- 10% from the official price for the Company’s shares quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S at the time of the acquisition. The authority was received at the Annual General Meeting on 30 January 2015 and applies for 5 years.

During the financial year, no repurchases were made under the scheme for repurchase of own shares, and the Company holds no own shares at present.

Future prospects and post balance sheet events

At present, basic earnings of approx. DKK 20.0 million are expected for the coming year. Fair value adjustments and losses and gains realised on bonds, foreign currencies and interest swaps, etc are not included in basic earnings and will at 9 December 2015 affect results for the year before tax by DKK -11.0 million.

The expectations for the future, including expectations relating to basic earnings, fair value adjustments and losses/gains on securities, are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by factors such as global economic conditions, including credit market, interest rate and foreign exchange developments. Thus, the actual development and actual results might differ significantly from the expectations in the Annual Report.

In Management’s opinion, the existing loan-financing, expected cash flows from operating activities and existing capital resources are satisfactory.

Alternative investment fund manager

On 28 November 2014, Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S obtained permission to carry on management activities as an alternative investment fund manager according to section 6 (1) of the Danish Act on Alternative Investment Fund Managers etc.

Pursuant to the Danish Act on Alternative Investment Fund Managers, the Parent Company is permitted to invest in mortgage deeds, bonds and properties. This year, the Parent Company was granted an exemption by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority according to section 15 of the Act in respect of also being permitted to manage shares received in connection with a corporate bond in the portfolio being wholly or partly converted into shares.

In the information to the investors pursuant to the Danish Act on Alternative Investment Fund Managers, the only significant change is that the individual bond issuer may not constitute more than 3.5% of the Company's equity compared to previously when, as a general rule, the individual issuer could not constitute more than 5% of the total portfolio of bonds. Apart from this, there have been no significant changes in the Parent Company's information to the investors.

The Company's shares are listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S, and therefore the Company's shares cannot be redeemed; consequently, the market value of the share may differ from the net asset value of the Company.

Information to the investors can be read on www.luxor.dk under Investor information.

Distribution of dividend

The Supervisory Board proposes distribution of dividend of DKK 20.0 million, corresponding to DKK 20.0 per share.

Corporate social responsibility, human rights and climatic impact

Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S has no policy on corporate social responsibility including human rights and climatic impact.

Target figures and policies for the gender composition of Management

The Supervisory Board of Luxor A/S consists of three members, none of whom are women at present. In accordance with section 139a of the Danish Companies Act, the Supervisory Board has adopted a target figure according to which the aim is to have female board members elected corresponding to at least 20% of the total Supervisory Board at the latest at the Annual General Meeting in 2017.

Furthermore, according to the same legal provision, the Supervisory Board has adopted a policy concerning inclusion of both genders at the Company's supreme levels of management. The Company's supreme levels of management consist of the Executive Board and the CFO. The members of the Supervisory Board agree that vacancies at these management levels should be filled on the basis of specific qualifications, and that men and women should have completely equal career opportunities in the Company. The Supervisory Board points out that the Company's other management levels have a balanced gender composition at present.

Agreements between the Company and Management

Agreements between the Company and its Management are disclosed in note 14.

Intellectual capital resources

The Group's future development depends on its ability also in future to retain and attract qualified employees for the performance of the Group's main activities.

Capital

Information the purpose of which is to promote the sale of the Company's shares is included partly in note 24 and partly in continuation of the Company's statement of Corporate Governance on the Company's website under Investor information.

Corporate Governance

In May 2013 (revised November 2014), the Committee on Corporate Governance issued updated recommendations on Corporate Governance based on the "comply or explain" principle. In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the Management of Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S complies with the most significant recommendations in the Corporate Governance report.

Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S has chosen a different practice in the following areas:

  • The Company has no policy on corporate social responsibility including human rights and climatic impact. However, in the investment process etc, the Company attaches importance to investing in enterprises which run their business in a socially responsible way.
  • The Company publishes Interim Reports in Danish and English; the Annual Report is published in Danish, and an extract of the Annual Report is published in English. The English version is published shortly after the publication of the Danish version. Other announcements are published in Danish only. The Company's website is in Danish.
  • The Supervisory Board has not appointed a deputy chairman due to the size of the Supervisory Board.
  • The Company has not published a competence description on its website, and the Company has not described the individual members' competences in the Annual Report. The Supervisory Board is composed on the basis of an overall assessment of the competence and versatility of the members.
  • The Company has not stipulated any specific retirement age for the members of the supreme governing body, as the Supervisory Board is of the opinion that the members' qualifications, and not their age, are decisive for their ability to discharge their duties.
  • At present, the Company has no committees, as the supreme governing body finds that a small operational Supervisory Board makes it possible for the total supreme governing body to discuss and make all significant decisions.
  • The supreme governing body does not evaluate its performance based on a formal procedure. Strategic objectives and planning are followed up on a current basis. So far, this method has ensured the efficient function of the supreme governing body. The self-evaluation procedure and its outcome are not disclosed in the Annual Report.
  • The Company does not evaluate the cooperation between the Executive Board and the supreme governing body based on a formal procedure. The cooperation between the parties is followed up on a current basis. This method ensures efficient cooperation.
  • The Company does not publish a description of the criteria forming the basis of the balance between the individual remuneration components.

Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S

  • The Annual Report does not provide an explanation of the linkage between remuneration and remuneration policy.

Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S has prepared a complete description of the Group’s Corporate Governance policy based on the recommendations of Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S. The description can be read or downloaded on http://www.luxor.dk/investor-information/virksomhedsledelse/ under the item Shareholder information.

The Supervisory Board’s description of internal controls and risk management in connection with the financial reporting process:

The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have overall responsibility for the Group’s risk management and internal controls in connection with the financial reporting, including compliance with relevant legislation and other regulation in relation to the financial reporting.

The Company has systems for risk management and internal controls in order to ensure that the internal and external financial reporting give a true and fair view without material misstatement.
