"A NEW PROPERTY COMPANY FOR ALL OF SWEDEN"

NYFOSA 2018

NYFOSA IS A TRANSACTION-BASED AND OPPORTUNISTIC PROPERTY COMPANY IN WHICH BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ARE IN FOCUS. WE ACQUIRE, MANAGE, ADD VALUE TO AND SELL PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT SWEDEN.

Nyfosa was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on November 23, 2018. The listing marked the beginning of Nyfosa as an independent company after its distribution to ordinary shareholders in Hemfosa Fastigheter. The goal of the demerger was for the two specialized companies to create better conditions for leveraging the potential of the entire business and thereby increase shareholder value.

Nyfosa acquired properties for a value of SEK 3.7 billion in 2018. Our single largest acquisition was a portfolio of 51 properties with a property value of SEK 3.6 billion.

NYFOSA OWNS PROPERTIES IN HIGH-GROWTH MUNICIPALITIES AND TRANSPORT HUBS IN SWEDEN

Nyfosa's properties are located throughout Sweden, mainly in high-growth municipalities and at transportation hubs. On December 31, 2018, Nyfosa's property portfolio comprised 177 properties with a total property value of SEK 15.6 billion, a rental value of MSEK 1,404 and a leasable area of 1,577 thousand sqm.

  • In September, Nyfosa vacated the Kungsängen 15:1 property in Uppsala, which was divested at an underlying property value of SEK 1 billion.
  • Possession was taken of a property portfolio with an underlying property value of approximately SEK 3.6 billion in September.
  • The Extraordinary General Meeting of Hemfosa Fastigheter AB resolved in September to distribute the subsidiary Nyfosa to existing ordinary shareholders.

Q4 2018

Our objective is annual growth of 20 percent in the property portfolio and earnings. We achieved this by a healthy margin in 2018 and I am convinced that we will continue to grow at a rapid rate.

– JENS ENGWALL, CEO

PROPERTIES ARE FANTASTIC

Nyfosa loves properties. And business. After an intense autumn 2018 when we formed and listed the new company on Nasdaq Stockholm, we can now in 2019 fully concentrate on just this – acquiring, selling and creating value. We want to grow quickly and we have the expertise, capital and power to do that.

Nyfosa is an opportunistic property company that dares to go against the tide. For us this means capitalizing on business opportunities in the current market and identifying values that others do not see. It could be an office in Kiruna, a business park in Lund, a warehouse in my hometown of Eskilstuna or wholesale market halls outside Stockholm City, or all of these in a single portfolio. What is crucial to us is to do value-creating business, regardless of the type of property or geography. This flexible strategy grants us freedom of movement that other property companies in the Swedish market lack.

Many financing opportunities

We have a strong first year behind us. We increased our property portfolio by 29 percent to SEK 15.6 billion, mainly through the acquisition of a large portfolio valued at SEK 3.6 billion. Rental income rose 22 percent and the annual earnings capacity of our existing property portfolio was MSEK 834 at year-end. This provides us with a stable foundation for continued growth. We also hold a strong position in the financing market with excellent relationships with all major banks. This is confirmed by the substantial credit facilities available to us and that give us scope to act. As a result of these excellent

financing opportunities and a loan-to-value ratio of 52.9 percent, we have significant acquisition capacity and the ability to rapidly carry out transactions when the right deal appears. We may also consider entering the bond market in the future to further accelerate growth.

We see favorable market conditions

for Nyfosa's continued positive development. We now have a negative real interest rate, given the currently low interest rate scenario; we are essentially borrowing at less than inflation. The level of activity in the property market remains high, although we see imbalances in certain property sectors that could generate business opportunities for Nyfosa.

Stronger team

But we do not only need money in the bank and the right market conditions to do good business – we also need the right people. We have strengthened our experienced team by adding further skills to key functions since the listing in November. We also opened a property management office in Malmö.

An important component in creating value is to continuously assess how to add value to the existing portfolio. We create value for both tenants and shareholders by actively and creatively developing our properties. We strengthened our project development team to sharpen our skills even further, and we can now better identify development opportunities throughout the property portfolio – plans that we ourselves or a future buyer of the property can realize.

Ready for expansion

At Nyfosa, we actively analyze potential business across Sweden and in virtually all property categories. We have the capacity to study a large number of properties and portfolios in parallel. This is a prerequisite for finding hidden gems. We are both impatient and patient. We are constantly on the go, looking near and far for both large and small properties. At the same time, we understand that many transactions take time and are built on long-term relationships. This is where the breadth of our geographic presence and our combined experience are valuable for generating new business.

Nyfosa intends to grow rapidly and we are aiming high. Our objective is annual growth of 20 percent in the property portfolio and earnings. We achieved this by a healthy margin in 2018 and I am convinced that we will continue to grow at a rapid rate. We are now heading toward a transactionbased 2019 and currently evaluating a large

number of attractive business transactions in a range of property categories, geographic locations and sizes. Sometimes these are properties that other players would turn their nose up at, such as retail properties. But for those of us who love properties and business, it is very exciting in every way. With almost 20,000 shareholders onboard, there are many of us who believe that Nyfosa has an interesting journey ahead.

Jens Engwall CEO

"What is crucial to us is to do value-creating business, regardless of the type of property or geography."

TRANSACTION-BASED AND OPPORTUNISTIC

Nyfosa is a transaction-based and opportunistic property company. That means that we seek out value that others do not see. Part of our strategy is to operate nationwide without being limited to specific regions, sectors or concepts. This focus sets us apart in the Swedish property market.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

Nyfosa's mission is to be a transaction-based, opportunistic property company with strong forward momentum. Nyfosa will change in pace with the property market to always identify the best possible transactions and capitalize on business opportunities when they arise. Furthermore, Nyfosa will generate sustained and high return and be cash flow driven with the ambition to grow both its cash flow and property portfolio.

A swift and experienced property company

Nyfosa considers itself to be Sweden's only listed property company with an opportunistic business model without being limited to specific regions, sectors or concepts. We can find the value that others do not see by identifying and conducting acquisitions that are often on the periphery for other operators or that other operators are

unable to undertake. Several factors make this a possibility for Nyfosa.

Business model focusing fully on transactions

Nyfosa's business model is based on taking an active role in the transaction market, combined with a flexible investment strategy

adapted to changes in the property market. By being perceived as an especially active property company in the transaction market, in terms of both acquisitions and divestments, Nyfosa will become a natural and attractive business partner for other property owners, transaction advisors and banks, thereby generating further business opportunities.

A broad strategy that creates freedom of movement

Nyfosa can capitalize on business opportunities when they arise, and evaluate and implement numerous different transactions, by being open to doing business irrespective of the property category, region or magnitude of the transaction.

VISION

Nyfosa's visions is to identify and complete the most profitable transactions in a changing property market. The focus is on identifying and developing value and getting the best out of each investment in order to maximize the shareholder value. We also aim to create added value by being the best company in the property sector at complex transactions.

This flexibility provides Nyfosa with the conditions to acquire properties that are often outside the investment strategy of other property companies; transactions that are therefore subject to less competition. One of Nyfosa's main strengths is the ability to identify business opportunities or development potential that other players perceive as too complex or

insecure but where we see an opportunity to take full advantage of the know-how and experience of our employees.

Experienced management team and an organization close to the market

Nyfosa has a management team with immense experience of transactions that vary in nature and complexity and is

highly skilled in identifying values, assessing potential and weighing risks. Nyfosa also has a market-centric organization with short decision-making paths and well-established processes. Most of Nyfosa's employees come from Hemfosa and possess long experience of value-creating property management and development and a tried-and-tested way of working based on the transaction-based activities pursued. Short decision-making paths and employee experience in evaluating risks and assessing potential mean that we can act swiftly to capitalize on attractive business opportunities when and where they appear.

Our job is to explore, discover and improve the value of Sweden's properties.

"We can act swiftly to capitalize on attractive business opportunities when and where they appear."

– JENNY LINDHOLM, HEAD OF TRANSACTIONS

STRATEGY

Nyfosa's long-term strategy is based on five cornerstones.

1.
Maintain sustained
activity in the transaction
market and creatively
evaluate new business
opportunities
Nyfosa's working method is based on active and close contact with the transaction
market. Employees engage in continuous dialogue with a diverse range of players in
markets across Sweden. The strong local presence and in-depth local knowledge of the
management organization are key to Nyfosa's growth strategy and create a solid basis on
which to assess the market trend, identify business opportunities at an early stage and
make well-founded decisions concerning acquisitions and divestments. Together with the
organization's short and rapid decision-making procedures and well-established processes,
this means that a large number of different business opportunities can be assessed and
evaluated simultaneously and transactions can be carried out and completed quickly.
2.
Focus on commer
cial properties in high
growth municipalities in
Sweden
With a property portfolio centered on commercial properties in high-growth municipalities
in Sweden, Nyfosa can leverage favorable trends, such as a rising population and business
activities in these municipalities, regardless of where they are located in Sweden. Nyfosa's
flexible approach means that the properties we acquire do not need to belong in the same
category or be of the same size or in the same region as its existing properties. Instead, our
focus is on identifying development potential. Nyfosa will acquire properties or portfolios
that generate a stable and high yield and where Nyfosa can add value through active
property management or follow-up transactions.
3.
Develop and add
value to its property
holdings
By managing, developing and adding value to Nyfosa's property holdings, we can increase
the value of our properties and earnings capacity while adding to their attractiveness for
both existing and potential new tenants. This active approach to property management is
carried out professionally, profitably and sustainably in close cooperation between Nyfosa's
local organization and the central functions, and in close dialogue with tenants, society and
other operators.
4.
Be a reliable and
receptive partner with
a long-term approach
and a broad established
network
By being a responsible property owner and a reliable, receptive partner, we help to build
relationships and create value in the markets where we are active. A critical part of this is
to think creatively when developing new solutions for tenants, and to have a relatively small
and local property management organization with a large and established contact network
to be able to offer tenants rapid responses, personalized service and optimal conditions for
their operations.
5.
Attract the best
employees
By recruiting and developing motivated, creative and experienced employees with solid
expertise, business acumen and an established contact network, Nyfosa creates an
effective, well-adapted and market-centric organization. The structure of the organization
is a key part of Nyfosa's strategy for realizing its business concept and capitalizing on new
business opportunities. Accordingly, being able to attract employees who can contribute
the right know-how and experience is a priority for us. Nyfosa works actively to be an
employer that offers a creative, open and stimulating work environment with a focus on
proximity to business decisions, inclusion in business development and personal develop
ment for all employees.

OBJECTIVES AND FINANCIAL RISK LIMITS

Our overall objective is to generate a long-term high and stable return with a focus on growth. With our way of working, we aim to be Sweden's most profitable property company.

FINANCIAL RISK LIMITS

DIVIDEND POLICY

Profits will primarily be reinvested to leverage business opportunities and achieve the growth target of a total property value of SEK 25 billion. Thereafter, a significant portion of profit will be paid to shareholders in the form of a dividend, redemption and/or repurchase of shares.

MARKET PERFORMANCE AND TRENDS

Nyfosa's property portfolio mainly comprises commercial offices in high-growth municipalities and logistics and warehouse properties at transportation hubs throughout Sweden. Through its flexible investment strategy, Nyfosa's property portfolio can change over time as the property market develops.

Property transactions in Sweden

The total transaction volume in the Swedish property market in 2018 was in line with 2017 with business valued at approximately SEK 153 billion (for transactions of more than MSEK 40) and a slightly higher average amount per transaction. The activities of international investors in the Swedish property market increased during the year, representing 27 percent of the total transaction volume. Geographically, Stockholm accounted for the largest share at 41 percent, while Malmö represented about 12 percent and Gothenburg 11 percent. Some 19 percent of the total transaction volume in 2018 was invested in other large towns and cities and the rest of Sweden accounted for about 17 percent.

Transactions in the office category represented 22 percent of the total transaction volume for the year, which was a marked increase from the record-low level of 17 percent in 2017. Warehouse, logistics and industrial properties continued to account for a significant share of business in the Swedish property market, commanding 14 percent of the total transaction volume. Retail properties declined the most during the year, which can be interpreted to be caused by the investors' perception of elevated risk caused by fiercer competition from online shopping. Residential properties remained an attractive segment and represented 34 percent of the volume during the year, thus becoming the most traded property category in Sweden.

Offices

Performance and trends

Office properties performed strongly in 2018 and were marked by declining vacancy rates, high investment appetite and low yield requirements in most sub-areas in Sweden. Service companies are the main office tenants, with a normal lease term of about three years. The lease term is usually longer, often between five and ten years, for new builds and major modifications.

The rent level for office properties is primarily determined by the property's location, its condition and standard, the general market situation and the business structure in the area. A higher proportion of service companies creates a larger market for office premises, which in turn drives rent levels. The market rent in larger and smaller regional capitals is deemed to have increased by about 6 percent during the year, with the best rent levels reaching SEK 2,300 per square meter.

The vacancy rate for offices fell again in Sweden during the year and most geographic areas saw declining or unchanged low levels. As a result of the low vacancy rate combined with high demand for office premises, the price of office properties rose during the year. Rent levels in 2019 are expected to remain at the same high levels and possibly increase further in the coming years, while the trend of declining yield requirements is expected to turn and rise slightly in the next few years.

Transactions

The Swedish property market for offices is among the strongest in Europe and international buyers accounted for about 28 percent of dedicated office transactions in 2018. The Stockholm region represented the largest share of dedicated office transactions in 2018, with 71 percent of the volume. The year's largest office transaction outside Sweden's three largest cities was Nyfosa's sale of the Kungsängen 15:1 property in Uppsala.

The yield requirement for office properties mainly depends on the location of the property, followed by its condition. Growth cities have experienced a slightly declining yield requirement in recent years and the level varies sharply depending on location and condition. In general, the yield requirement in regional capitals is between 5 and 7.5 percent, and is slightly higher in growth cities.

Logistics and warehouses

Performance and trends

The logistics market is continuing to strengthen due to tenants with strong credit ratings, long-term leases and sustained high demand. The market for warehouse, logistics and industrial properties varies widely based on a number of parameters such as ownership, size, modernity and efficiency. Longer leases of often five to ten years are generally signed.

The rent level is governed by a number of factors, mainly the location of the property and its proximity to logistics clusters, transportation hubs and major roadways. Rent levels for this property segment have been stable in recent years with no major change in rents noted.

Demand for logistics properties is high mainly in the metropolitan regions, while there is greater variation in demand in growth districts and regional capitals. The yield requirement for logistics properties varies considerably depending on the condition of the properties and the tenant's lease term. In most smaller regional capitals, the yield requirement declined during the year and is generally deemed to amount to 6–7 percent in prime locations, whereas the yield requirement for new-build logistics properties with long leases is at significantly lower levels.

As for the rest of the property market, trends are continuously changing for the logistics market. Factors influencing the logistics and warehouse segment are the strong growth in online shopping and weaker performance for physical retail stores. Increasingly advanced demands are being made for more complex facilities, such as automated sorting and picking systems. Digitization, automation and AI are trends that can enhance the efficiency of warehouse management and thus impact demand for logistics space. The clear trend is that the total floor space will increase as online shopping grows.

Transactions

2018 was a historic, record-breaking year for logistics properties in Sweden with the construction of several large logistics properties. The warehouse, logistics and industry segment remains an attractive investment option in the Swedish transaction market with a share of 14 percent of the total transaction volume for the year. A distinct trend is that demand for warehouses is increasing, which is partly due to increased online shopping. Acquisitions outside the major cities dominated dedicated warehouse, logistics and industry transactions. The largest property transaction in warehouse and logistics properties for the year was Nyfosa's acquisition of a property portfolio of 51 office, warehouse and logistics properties in high-growth municipalities and at transportation hubs.

Competitors

With a portfolio comprising largely offices as well as logistics and warehouse premises in several locations in Sweden, Nyfosa faces different competitors in each property category and region. Other players in the market include international property funds, listed property companies and privately owned property companies. Nyfosa is of the opinion that the main players in the market are Catena, Castellum, Corem, Fastpartner, Klövern, Kungsleden, Sagax and Stendörren.

TARGETING THE BEST POSSIBLE TRANSACTIONS

With a flexible investment strategy, a market-centric organization, employees with documented transaction know-how and long experience of assessing risks, Nyfosa can pursue investments that are on the periphery for other operators. We continuously seek out business opportunities that match Nyfosa's portfolio of high-yield properties – both individual properties and property portfolios – and our activity level is high.

Acquisitions and sales are fundamental to Nyfosa's business model for continued growth and value creation. Nyfosa has a highly driven, experienced management team, a marketcentric organization and resources that enable

it to act swiftly and capitalize on the business opportunities that arise. This sets Nyfosa apart in the Swedish property market.

Established work model

Nyfosa's existing property portfolio is continuously evaluated and restructured to optimize the property portfolio and develop its compo-

sition. This creates the optimal levels of risk and yield. The emphasis is on identifying business opportunities that lead to a portfolio of high-yielding properties with development potential. In our transaction operations, we follow an established work model for implementing property transactions in a business-like and efficient manner, and ensuring that Nyfosa is there when deals arise.

Based on business plan and growth targets

Nyfosa's business plan and growth targets act as a basis for our investment strategy, market surveillance and market analyses. Using these analyses, Nyfosa then assesses the various business opportunities identified through Nyfosa's strong local presence, broad contact network and strong position in the acquisition market. We are well equipped to assess several alternatives in parallel, which makes it possible to process a larger selection and increase the chances of a positive conclusion.

Experience and market-centric transaction organization

The organization has the expertise, creativity and resources to identify and realize the business opportunities that arise. Transaction operations are also largely based on a

model whereby Nyfosa's transaction department and broad nationwide property management organization work closely together to create the best possible conditions for identifying

We think in new and broad terms and dare to go against the tide.

interesting business opportunities. Nyfosa's presence at a large number of locations across the country provides important contacts with buyers, sellers and tenants.

Nyfosa has a relatively small, efficient and market-centric organization that is represented throughout Sweden. We have created a flexible and functional organization together with external suppliers who are renowned for their

expertise in various parts of the transaction process, such as advisors in environmental, technical management, legal affairs, finance and tax matters. The consultants, who are chosen with great care and who possess the expertise required for current needs, are linked closely to the organization to ensure stability and a high degree of transaction know-how in the processes. The organizational structure makes it easier to make risk assessments and transaction decisions relatively quickly, which is a prerequisite for us to complete acquisitions and divestments in an efficient and business-like manner.

Value-adding acquisitions

Prior to a potential acquisition, we always analyze the prospective property based on its unique potential. Great emphasis is placed on assessing its development potential and on identifying, evaluating and managing any risks associated with the property and the property portfolio. One particularly important factor that is given special consideration is the opportunity to add value and work with value creating measures in property management.

"We are not locked into any

strategies. We capture portfolios where we see opportunities."

IMPORTANT GROWTH STEP WITH PORTFOLIO ACQUISITIONS OF SEK 3.6 BILLION

In September 2018, Nyfosa took possession of a property portfolio for a total value of SEK 3.6 billion. The properties mainly comprise offices in high-growth municipalities and warehouse and logistics properties at transportation hubs in Sweden. This deal was an important growth step for Nyfosa during the year.

The property portfolio contains 51 properties located in 17 towns and cities, mainly in central and southern Sweden, including Stockholm, Malmö, Västerås, Borås and Lund. The tenants include Speed Logistics, DHL Nordic, Haldex Brake Products and PostNord Sverige.

Nyfosa already owns properties at several of these locations and can thus leverage its existing property management operations.

"This is a portfolio that contributes favorable earnings and matches Nyfosa's portfolio of commercial properties very well, both geographically and in the property categories of office and warehouse/ logistics," says Stina Lindh Hök, COO at Nyfosa.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT THAT CREATES VALUE

We work actively to add value to our properties. This involves finding creative solutions and sustainable investments as the needs of tenants change. The starting point of Nyfosa's property management is to create and build long-term relationships with our tenants by ensuring that they are satisfied and feel secure when carrying out operations in Nyfosa's premises.

Property management close to tenants

Nyfosa's management is focused on developing the existing property portfolio through active property management, partly through work with existing tenants, by finding new tenants for vacant premises and by renegotiating existing agreements. Focusing proactively on the properties also involves meeting the tenants' changing needs by finding creative solutions and sustainable investments. For example, a tenant could be offered to move to another property in the

portfolio, the conversion or extension of an existing property or to use land adjoining a property.

Satisfying tenant needs

Nyfosa builds long-term relationships with its tenants by ensuring that tenants are satisfied and feel secure in carrying out their operations in Nyfosa's premises, regardless of the type of property, location or use. For Nyfosa, this involves

being accessible, providing the service expected at the agreed time and ensuring the quality of maintenance and upkeep. It should be easy to reach the property managers and tenants should receive quick and straightforward responses.

Nyfosa conducts its management operations using both its own personnel and by purchasing external services.

We own properties to make them better. Our own employees mainly work in the core areas of relationships with tenants, project management, technical management and leasing. External resources are mainly used for operations, maintenance and upkeep.

Value-creating development

Close contact between the property management organizations and the local market is important for identifying development opportunities in the property portfolio. Nyfosa has sound knowledge of and a large contact network in many locations where it is represented. This increases the possibility

of finding new tenants and areas of use for vacant spaces, or a buyer for the property. When Nyfosa acquires properties in new locations, we ensure that we have a good overview of the market and the opportunities presented there. The starting point is adopting a creative approach whereby we study how we can contribute to adding long-term value for the tenant and increase the value of the property portfolio.

Nyfosa's property portfolio generally maintains a high level of quality, although there are some properties with potential for improvement and that require renovation. Nyfosa continuously analyses how properties can be developed, for example

by conversion and extension, a change in use or a new zoning plan. These project plans can then be realized by Nyfosa or be included as a value-creating opportunity for the next owner when the property is sold.

Nyfosa's business model does not involve performing extensive or long-term development projects that tie up large amounts of capital.

In 2018, Nyfosa invested MSEK 194 in the existing property portfolio, in which the largest project was the reconstruction of the Tyr 8 property in Uppsala that was damaged by a fire in 2017.

Tenants and lease structure

The risk in Nyfosa's portfolio is limited due to the large number of tenants divided among 2,612 leases and with no dependence on a single large tenant. On December 31, 2018, the ten largest tenants accounted for about 19 percent of Nyfosa's rental income, divided among 132 leases. The average remaining lease term in the portfolio was 4.1 years.

Rental income and property expenses

Nyfosa's rental income normally includes rent supplements, for example, for property tax, heating and electricity costs that are invoiced onward to tenants.

Nyfosa's largest property expenses include operating expense items that pertain to heating, water, electricity and property upkeep. Other operating expenses mainly pertain to insurance, guard services and waste management. At Nyfosa, we work continuously on energy-saving operations and maintenance measures in the property portfolio to both reduce the costs and restrict the environmental impact of Nyfosa's and its tenants' operations. Another category of property expenses that are charged to Nyfosa's operations is maintenance costs. Planned and ongoing maintenance is carried out continuously to retain the condition and standard of the properties. Property expenses also comprise the property tax imposed by the government, which currently amounts to 1.0 percent of the tax assessment value for non-residential properties and 0.5 percent for industrial properties.

Nyfosa's costs for property administration consist primarily of expenses for charging rent, leasing, project management and marketing.

"By being efficient in our business, we can generate a high cash flow, solid earnings and create opportunities for our tenants."

– STINA LINDH HÖK, COO

STRENGTH BASED ON BROAD GEOGRAPHIC PRESENCE

Nyfosa acquires, manages, adds value to and sells properties throughout Sweden. The property portfolio currently comprises commercial properties, offices and warehouse/logistics properties. Most of the properties are located in high-growth municipalities and at important transportation hubs. In addition, Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the property company Söderport, which mainly owns office and industrial properties in the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions.

We begin with a strong portfolio of commercial properties.

The geographic spread of Nyfosa's properties is highly diverse, with most properties situated in high-growth municipalities and at important transportation hubs in Sweden. A presence in large parts of the country provides Nyfosa with

a broad contact network with potential tenants and property players, and thereby a key platform for identifying and carrying out property transactions. Moreover, the geographic span of the portfolio spreads risk favorably, at the same time as the

company's rent and property valuation levels generally remain stable due to the location of most of the properties outside the central areas of the major cities.

Nyfosa's property portfolio

At year-end, the property portfolio comprised 177 properties with a total property value of SEK 15.6 billion and a rental

value of MSEK 1,404 with a leasable area of 1,577 thousand sqm. In addition to the wholly owned property portfolio, Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the property company Söderport. Söderport's properties are not included in the tables and

diagrams below but are presented separately on pages 24–25.

Earnings capacity

Given the ambition of growing rapidly, the company's earnings capacity is an import-

ant measure for presenting Nyfosa's estimated earnings. The earnings capacity is stated for a specific point in time and based on certain assumptions. It must not be confused with a forecast and only serves as a basis for gaining an impression of the company's future earnings based on the existing property portfolio. Nyfosa's expected earnings capacity increased in 2018 from MSEK 680 to MSEK 834.

GROUP'S EARNINGS CAPACITY

MSEK Dec 31, 2018 Dec 31, 2017
Rental income 1,267 984
Property expenses –362 –263
Property administration –32 –26
Net operating income 872 696
Central administration –65 –36
Share in profit of joint ventures 180 132
Financial expenses –153 –112
Profit from property management 834 680

The company's current earnings capacity on a 12-month basis on December 31, 2018 is presented above. Current earnings capacity is to be considered solely as a hypothetical instantaneous impression and is presented only for illustrative purposes. The aim is to present annualized income and expenses based on the property portfolio, borrowing costs, capital structure and organization at a given point in time. The earnings capacity does not include an assessment of future periods in respect of rents, vacancy rates, property expenses, interest rates, changes in value or other factors impacting earnings. The data does not include the possible effects of property transactions. The current earnings capacity must be considered together with other information in the year-end report. The following information is used as the basis for assessing current earnings capacity:

• annual rental income (including supplements and taking rent discounts into account), plus other property-related income based on current leases;

  • operating and maintenance costs consist of an assessment of operating expenses and maintenance measures during a standard year;
  • property tax has been calculated on the basis of the current tax assessment value of the properties. Ground rent paid is included in the amounts;

• costs for central administration and marketing have been calculated on the basis of the existing organization and the current size of the property portfolio;

• Nyfosa's shares of profit from property management from joint ventures before changes in value, calculated using the same method as Nyfosa;

• the assessment of earnings capacity does not assume any financial income; and • financial expenses have been calculated on the basis of the company's average interest rate on

December 31, 2018, which was 1.6 percent.

Changes in value

The properties divested in 2018 resulted in a realized change in value of MSEK 142. Most of the earnings were attributable to the Kungsängen 15:1 property in Uppsala that was vacated in the third quarter. Unrealized changes in value amounted to MSEK 658, of which MSEK 468 pertained to revaluation and MSEK 190 to income recognition of the price deduction received for deferred tax on acquisition.

Changed yield requirements and completed projects also resulted in positive effects on the value trend. The weighted yield requirement on December 31, 2018 amounted to 6.35 percent (6.40), the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows to 8.24 percent (8.30) and for residual value to 8.45 percent (8.50). The slightly lower yield requirement was due to lower yield requirements for primarily office properties in attractive metropolitan regions.

Valuation techniques

The company obtains an external, independent property valuation every quarter to quality assure the fair value measurement of the company's properties. The value of the properties has been assessed based on a market-adapted cash-flow estimate in which, by simulating the calculated future income and expenses, an analysis has been made of the market's expectations with respect to the subject property.

The yield requirement used in the estimate derives from sales of comparable properties. For additional information on valuation techniques, refer to Note 13 of this Annual Report.

OFFICES

  1. Sicklaön 358:1, Nacka 2. Gillet 1, Värnamo 3. Norrmalm 4.6, Sundsvall

Nyfosa's office properties are mainly situated in Mölndal, Örnsköldsvik, Sundsvall and Växjö. Most of the office properties are of high quality in central locations in each town. These properties are typically highly marketable, meaning that interest from other players in acquiring this type of property is generally considerable, particularly among local property owners. Nyfosa also sees solid potential for adding value to the property portfolio and increasing the leasing rate.

LOGISTICS/WAREHOUSE

  1. Arendal 1:17, Gothenburg 2. Grönsta 2:52, Eskilstuna 3. Hendestorp 2:1, Jönköping

Nyfosa's logistics and warehouse properties are located in towns that are transportation hubs in Sweden, such as Eskilstuna, Landskrona, Stockholm and Borås. The properties are predominantly modern logistics buildings with a highly flexible range of applications. Modern logistics properties are optimized for logistics operations and the factors distinguishing them from older properties include

high ceilings, pillar systems that do not restrict operations and flexible loading docks and cargo ports where the height can be adjusted to accommodate different types of goods vehicles. The warehouse properties are of normal standard and Nyfosa sees high potential for adding value to the portfolio of warehouse properties.

Nyfosa also owns a small number of properties in other categories, such as premises for retail activities, hotel operations and industry in towns including Värnamo, Uddevalla, Huddinge and Växjö. The properties in this category are also located in towns where Nyfosa can capitalize on positive population growth and a local network of contacts that can generate business for the company.

SÖDERPORT – JOINT VENTURE

Varuhissen 1, Årsta

In addition to the wholly owned property portfolio, Nyfosa holds shares in the property company Söderport Holding AB. Söderport is jointly owned with property company Sagax, 50 percent holding each. Ownership is governed by shareholders' agreements giving both owners equal power of decision, meaning that neither partner has a controlling influence. Söderport is thus a joint venture and Nyfosa's share in Söderport's profit is recognized in the Group's profit from property management.

Söderport's property portfolio primarily comprises industrial, warehouse and office properties, presenting a suitable supplement to Nyfosa's wholly owned property portfolio. The focal point of the property portfolio is in the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions. Söderport does not have its own operational organization. Instead, it procures property management and financial administration from Sagax and a small part of property management is procured from Nyfosa.

– YLVA HULT PALMRYD, HEAD OF LEGAL

A PROPERTY OWNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE

Nyfosa is a responsible company and a modern property owner. We continuously assess how our operations contribute to a sustainable society. Sustainability is an important core value in both our property management and transaction operations, with a focus on healthy financial results, consideration for the environment and social responsibility. We apply a systematic work method and our sustainability activities are inquisitive. It is important for us to test and try in order to learn more, find new approaches and constantly work in a smarter way.

Sustainability policy

The organization follows the Code of Conduct and the sustainability policy adopted by the Board. This policy includes the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption and aims to safeguard and strengthen the company's sustainability efforts.

Sustainability Report

The Sustainability Report presented on pages 27–34 contains information on our work in the most significant areas for our operations: Economic Sustainability, Social Responsibility and Environmental Consideration. In addition, our business model is described on pages 6–9 and a risk description is provided on pages 36–38. For information on the Board's diversity policy, refer to the Corporate Governance Report on pages 44–51.

Nacka, March 2019 Nyfosa's Group Management

2018

The demerger and listing process that resulted in the spin-off, standalone company Nyfosa AB was completed in 2018. This change was carried out to create higher shareholder value, for example, by intensifying focus on the property portfolio that Nyfosa is now building up.

P R O P E R T Y I N D U S T R Y ' S C O D E OF CONDUCT FOR SUPPLIERS

Under the Swedish Property Federation's industry-wide Code of Conduct for Suppliers, suppliers must respect the Code of Conduct and do their utmost to satisfy the requirements in their own organization and ensure that their suppliers and sub-suppliers comply with the Code. The Swedish Property Federation's Code of Conduct is based on the assumption that the goods and services that are delivered comply with the UN Global Compact's ten principles on human rights, labor, environment and corruption.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

By taking a long-term approach in our contact with tenants and partners, we set the conditions for lasting, value-creating relationships. The aim is for the business to generate healthy economic growth with as little impact as possible on people and the environment.

Economic growth and sustainability

Nyfosa's financial value creation benefits the company's stakeholders – tenants, employees, shareholders, suppliers, lenders and society. Nyfosa's focus on property ownership across Sweden combined with many financing opportunities means that we can help develop properties, including in smaller locations, for operations that are important to the local community and society as a whole.

Nyfosa works to ensure a long-term robust financial performance, in line with its targets and strategies, by continuously developing expertise and a business-like approach in the organization. Thanks to efficient management and development of the property portfolio, we can increase its value during our time as property owner. See the description of the business model on pages 6-9.

Business ethics and anti-corruption

Nyfosa is to act credibly, honestly and transparently in all contexts. We want our employees, business partners and other players with whom we have contact to share this opinion. We have sound knowledge of and respect competition law, environmental and occupational health and safety laws, agreements and other regulations that impact our operations.

Policy and governance

The Code of Conduct and sustainability policy adopted by the Board address the areas of business ethics and anticorruption and aim to safeguard and strengthen the company's sustainability efforts. The sustainability policy describes the process for reporting suspicions of irregularities, for example, through a whistleblower function.

Risks and risk management

Based on our Code of Conduct and sustainability policy, we endeavor to always act credibly, honestly and transparently. We are to adhere to sound business ethics and take a longterm approach to every business relationship. This is entirely natural for us and we hope that such conduct will strengthen our relationships with existing and new tenants as well as other business partners in the property market. Confirmation that we succeeded in this in 2018 was the growth that we created in both the property portfolio and our earnings capacity, and also the improvement in the leasing rate.

T H E Y E A R I N E X I S T I N G PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

I N C R E A S E I N E A R N I N G S P E R S H A R E FOR THE YEAR

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Nyfosa's corporate culture is characterized by entrepreneurship, humanity and involvement. Good business ethics and trusting relations are important starting points both internally and in contacts with external parties. Health and safety are crucial areas for employees, tenants and suppliers.

Employees

Corporate culture and employees

Nyfosa offers a creative, open and stimulating work environment with a focus on inclusion and personal development. The company has decided to have a relatively small and efficient organization with short decision-making paths and where all employees have an awareness and understanding of the company's objectives and strategy. Proximity to business decisions and inclusion in business development provide the conditions for better results and higher satisfaction for the employees' own work. Based on assigning broad responsibility to employees for carrying out their duties, Nyfosa enables its employees to govern their own time to a high degree, which is of great value, particularly for nurturing an effective work situation and a good work-life balance.

Focus on expertise

For Nyfosa, a distinct focus on expertise and performance is the path to lasting business success. Nyfosa's business requires relevant experience, broad networks of contacts and a wealth of employee knowledge. Since Nyfosa's inception, we have worked actively to safeguard skills development and ensure the supply of qualified expertise at all levels of the rapidly growing property company. A key part of this is permitting employees to grow within the organization with gradually increasing responsibility.

Work environment

Nyfosa wants to promote health and create a healthy and secure work environment for all its employees. We believe that good health and a secure work environment add value for everyone's benefit. We apply current occupational health and safety legislation and other regulations and requirements relevant to the company. Work environment efforts are to be conducted as both a natural part of day-to-day work and systematically, with the work environment regularly evaluated and approved measures implemented and reviewed. As part of efforts to prevent ill health, Nyfosa offers regular medical checkups to all employees, and all of Nyfosa's employees are covered by medical expenses insurance.

Equal opportunities and equal treatment

The conditions, rights and development opportunities of all employees must be equal for all women and men in the company. The organization has an even distribution between women and men in most areas of its operations. Of the company's total workforce of 26 employees, women account for 54 percent, while they account for 57 percent of the members of the management group. Women account for 43 percent of Nyfosa's Board members.

Tenants

Nyfosa's tenants must always be able to rely on the fact that our properties offer a work environment that is safe, accessible and healthy. Examples of important safety features include handling icicles and snow falling from roofs, fire safety and electricity audits, which are largely governed by rules and laws. Safety in and around our buildings is something that Nyfosa assigns a high priority and works continuously to develop. In respect of systematic fire safety, Nyfosa complies with all prevailing requirements from public authorities, which entails regular technical checks of fire and evacuation installations, as well as training and exercises. For various reasons, a need for decontamination or more widespread measures to rectify faults that could jeopardize health and safety may also arise, primarily in properties. From Nyfosa's standpoint, this primarily entails conducting systematic property management work that counters the causes of such problems. When a need for decontamination arises, Nyfosa acts according to applicable laws and regulations and efficiently rectifies the problem with minimal impact on the tenant.

Suppliers

Nyfosa acquires a large amount of materials and services from various suppliers for operation and development of the property portfolio. By rewarding suppliers in procurements who have signed the property industry's Code of Conduct, we can actively set requirements for suppliers to assume responsibility for the environmental and social conditions in their own operations.

We continuously evaluate our supplier partnerships, which includes examining compliance with the agreements and the Code of Conduct. To further ensure control over the supplier chain, Nyfosa sees an advantage in limiting the number of suppliers and primarily choosing local suppliers.

Nyfosa is to offer a safe and secure workplace for the suppliers who work in our properties in, for example, property management, refurbishment and new builds. This is ensured by establishing the requirements, in addition to laws, in contracts and through active and preventive work environment activities, that Nyfosa and the supplier can meet in this respect.

Policy and governance

The Code of Conduct and sustainability policy adopted by the Board address the areas of equal treatment, human rights and labor and aim to safeguard and strengthen the company's sustainability efforts.

Risks and risk management

Nyfosa's future development depends to a great extent on the knowledge, experience and commitment of the employees. To ensure that all of the skills inherent in the organization are utilized optimally and for the employees to feel that they are able to develop, every individual must be judged strictly on their own merits. For this reason, Nyfosa prioritizes work on attracting employees by providing a creative, open and stimulating workplace that safeguards equal treatment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Nyfosa adopts a long-term approach and aims for its property portfolio to develop positively while it is held.

We strive to reduce the negative environmental impact of our properties primarily by focusing on the areas of energy, materials and waste. The foundation for success is the know-how and commitment of our employees and an aim to continuously learn about how our operations impact people and the environment.

For us, environmental consideration also involves identifying and evaluating the environmental risks associated with the property acquisitions that we carry out and managing the environmental liabilities in the existing property portfolio.

Energy consumption

The property sector is one of the society's large-scale energy consumers. Energy is used to heat or cool homes, workplaces and other buildings that people occupy and where operations are conducted. Energy is also consumed to supply the buildings with electricity and water.

Nyfosa exclusively uses renewable electricity, hydropower, through agreements with the electricity producer Vattenfall. This means that the carbon emissions per square meter from electricity consumption of our buildings is low.

Heating our premises requires the largest amount of energy and generates the highest level of carbon emissions per square meter in our buildings.

As a buyer, we are not fully able to influence the mix of energy sources used by suppliers for heating. However, we can choose to invest in alternative sources of energy, such as solar power.

In 2018, we had 318 solar panels installed on the roof of our head office in Nacka. This mainly represented an investment in basic know-how about this technology, its strengths and its weaknesses. We will continue to use the knowledge we have gained to identify buildings in our portfolio that are financially and environmentally suitable for installing solar panels.

Environmental certification

The property industry has a environmental certification system under which property owners can obtain certification for their properties. Various certifications are available in the market and becoming certified is a confirmation that a new build or refurbishment has been completed with, for example, a sustainable and ecolabeled choice of materials or resulted in a decrease in energy consumption.

Five buildings in Nyfosa's property portfolio were awarded environmental certification when we renovated or refurbished them. We do not have an explicit aim to certify buildings when we make investments, but each investment decision is based on both financial and environmental factors.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

2017 2018
Heat, MWh 46,412 46,271
Electricity, MWh 31,983 34,403
Cooling, MWh 640 1,249
Water, m3 /sqm 0.48 0.44

The information in the table and graph is based on consumption and emissions for the properties that Nyfosa owned on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, with available measurement data for energy consumption for each year exceeding 95 percent.

Emissions for electricity consumption are based on the environmental factor of 8.3 g/kWh according to the central electricity agreement with Vattenfall, emissions for heat consumption are based on each supplier's environmental factor according to Swedenergy's 2017 statistics and cooling emissions are based on an environmental factor of 12 g/kWh.

CARBON EMISSIONS IN KG/SQM

Work environment, materials selection and waste

We consider all factors related to work environment, materials selection and waste management in our project development, such as renovation and refurbishment. The suppliers we contract to perform work for us must undertake in their contracts that they will meet applicable work environment requirements for the workplace, and guarantee that they comply with the property industry's Code of Conduct for Suppliers and correctly handle construction waste. Nyfosa's objective is that the materials used in its business in connection with renovation and refurbishment will comply with at least Level C of the SundaHus system. Tenants of Nyfosa's properties always have the opportunity to sort their waste at easily accessible waste stations.

Green leases

In connection with new builds or tenant renegotiations, Nyfosa currently offers green leases, which are based on an agreement template issued by the Swedish Property Federation. Green leases represent a way for the tenant and the property manager to work together to achieve more sustainable properties.

Policy and governance

Nyfosa's environmental policy

To successfully conduct environmental and sustainability work, Nyfosa has formulated an environmental policy, which provides guidance in these activities. According to the environmental policy, Nyfosa is to:

  • Work actively to enhance the energy efficiency of the company's buildings and premises.
  • Be aware of the environmental risks and environmental liabilities associated with the properties and, when taking actions, draw up long-term sustainable solutions.
  • Work with the tenants to achieve a healthy indoor environment.
  • Implement environmentally compatible conversions and new builds.
  • Subject our suppliers to environmental and sustainability requirements.
  • Raise the level of environmental and sustainability expertise and awareness among our employees.

Risks and risk management

Properties affect the environment during construction and continuous upkeep, and also through the operations conducted in them, with energy consumption being particularly significant. Energy consumption is also a key consideration from a financial perspective, since heating costs represent a large proportion of total operating expenses. Energy efficiency is a priority area for Nyfosa and efforts are made to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Acquisitions of new properties are always preceded by environmental investigations to determine the properties' environmental status.

AUDITOR'S OPINION REGARDING THE STATUTORY SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

To the general meeting of the shareholders in Nyfosa AB, corporate identity number 559131-0833

Engagement and responsibility

It is the Board of Directors who is responsible for the sustainability report for the year 2018 on pages 27–34 and that it is prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The scope of the examination

Our examination has been conducted in accordance with FAR:s auditing standard RevR 12 The auditor's opinion regarding the statutory sustainability report. This means that our examination of the statutory sustainability report 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 opinion.

Opinion

A statutory sustainability report has been prepared.

"It is about taking good risks"

– JOHAN EJERHED, HEAD OF FINANCE

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Nyfosa is continuously exposed to various risks, which could be significant to the company's future operations, earnings and financial position. Nyfosa works systematically and continuously on managing these and other risks and uncertainties. The focus is on preventing risks and evaluating how risk management can be converted into opportunities.

OPERATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL RISKS

CHANGES IN VALUE OF PROPERTIES

Risk description

Nyfosa's property portfolio is recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value, and the changes in value are recognized in profit or loss. The value of the properties is affected not only by supply and demand in the market but also by a number of other factors, in part property-specific factors such as the leasing rate, rent level and operating expenses, and in part such market-specific factors as the yield requirement and the cost of capital, which are derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Deterioration in either a property or the market could cause the value of the company's properties to decline, which could have a negative impact on the Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

TRANSACTION-RELATED RISKS

Risk description

In line with its strategy, Nyfosa aims to be an opportunistic and transaction-based property company. In order to complete a property acquisition, suitable investment objects must be identified and on the market at reasonable price levels. To be able to leverage complex investment opportunities, the company must also successfully assess the market, the potential of a property or the opportunities in a geographic area where the company intends to acquire properties. Acquisitions may also be associated with risks pertaining to the seller or the acquired operations. Nyfosa's ability to sell parts of its property portfolio on favorable terms depends on, for example, the health of the property and transaction market.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

Risk description

Nyfosa invests continuously in the existing property portfolio in the form of modifications or improvements. Larger development projects may involve substantial investments, which may lead to increased credit risk if Nyfosa cannot lease the premises at a reasonable price level or divest the properties at an attractive value. Major construction, refurbishment and renovations may also be delayed and/or become more expensive than originally anticipated.

Risk management

• Nyfosa owns a large number of properties that are geographically diverse, which results in a balanced risk profile.

  • Nyfosa's focus on commercial properties in high-growth municipalities and transport hubs in Sweden provides opportunities for leveraging favorable trends, such as a rising population and business activities in these municipalities, regardless of where they are located in Sweden.
  • The market value of all of Nyfosa's investment properties is assessed every quarter by independent external appraisers. Nyfosa's properties are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position; see Note 13 for information on valuation techniques.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa occupies a strong position in the transaction market in Sweden, with extensive experience and excellent knowledge of complex portfolio transactions and risk assessment.
  • With its broad geographic presence in Sweden and extensive contact network, the organization is highly knowledgeable of the market's commercial property players, which generates opportunities for acquisitions and divestments of properties.
  • There is a well-defined acquisition process and extensive capacity in Nyfosa to evaluate potential business. Both tenants and the condition of the property are assessed in order to support the valuation and decision-making.

Risk management

  • In connection with tenant-specific modifications, Nyfosa is able to renegotiate leases so that they are adapted to the level of investment. In conjunction with negotiations, the tenant's ability to complete an investment is always assessed.
  • The property development projects that Nyfosa is involved in are conducted together with established and experienced suppliers.

EMPLOYEES AND EXPERTISE

Risk description

Nyfosa's organization is relatively small and consists largely of employees with a background in the Hemfosa Group. The company is therefore dependent on these key personnel to a certain degree, particularly as a large share of the transaction operations is based on short decision-making processes, close relationships with different market operators and in-depth knowledge of and insight into the property categories and geographic areas in which the company operates. Should Nyfosa fail to recruit and retain qualified staff and senior executives, this could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

TAX

Risk description

Tax is a significant cost item for property companies. Even if tenants are responsible for their share of the property taxes due at all times in the majority of Nyfosa's leases, changes to the property tax and other taxes such as corporation tax, VAT and other state levies and tax-related contributions could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

From time to time, Nyfosa has cases under review by, and ongoing dialogues with, the Swedish Tax Agency regarding individual taxation matters. The Swedish Tax Agency makes tax rulings that can be appealed and reviewed in administrative courts of appeal. The regulations governing the recognition of taxes, and the property sector's application of these accounting regulations, are also complex fields. The regulatory framework is complex, the Swedish Tax Agency's review possibilities are comprehensive and the judicial bodies' interpretation and reviews take place in many stages, which means that it can take a long time to establish the correct application of legislation in complex taxation matters, which may adversely affect Nyfosa and investors' assessments of Nyfosa. The Swedish Tax Agency's tax rulings as well as court rulings may entail that actions taken or completed transactions that were previously considered permissible according to the regulatory framework may need to be reappraised at a later juncture.

Nyfosa has tax loss carryforwards from previous years which, taken together with depreciation for tax purposes and deductions for certain property investments, entail that current taxes for previous years are only payable by the few subsidiaries for which there were no tax conditions for making Group contributions.

As explained in Note 23, one company in the Group is a party to a tax case. In the case of future audits or reviews, there is a risk that the Swedish Tax Agency could object to Nyfosa's assessment, for example, with respect to the deductibility of certain costs, opportunities for depreciation for tax purposes or the opportunity to deduct loss carryforwards from previous years. A future change in the tax situation for Nyfosa could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa successfully recruited additional key skills and built up its own organization when it was spun off. Nyfosa is working to gradually strengthen its organization in order to reduce dependency on specific individuals, by means of both training and additional recruitments.
  • Competency needs are evaluated continuously in order to adapt the organization to prevailing requirements, and active work is conducted to promote internal manager sourcing.
  • To minimize the dependence on individuals, the company has documented job descriptions and clear process maps.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa carefully follows political developments and continuously monitors developments in the regulatory area to identify proposals for regulatory changes at an early stage. This monitoring ensures that Nyfosa understands the effects of any regulatory changes well in advance and that Nyfosa is well prepared should new regulations require an adaptation of internal processes to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
  • Nyfosa monitors the taxation laws and practices that are in effect whenever it files tax returns. To further safeguard the quality of both tax returns and financial statements, Nyfosa continuously checks its judgments of complex tax matters with external experts. Nyfosa's assessments and calculations in the tax area are reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
  • Within Nyfosa, all functions work together through clear-cut processes to satisfy regulatory requirements for continuous reporting and payment of taxes and to identify and manage tax risks.

INTERNAL PROCESSES AND CONTROLS

Risk description

Nyfosa's business operations are associated with the risk of being negatively impacted by deficient procedures, and/or that irregularities or internal or external events could cause disruptions or damage to the business. Nyfosa has decided to have a relatively small organization. While the central functions of the operations are managed internally, Nyfosa has, inter alia, outsourced parts of the day-to-day financial management to an external service provider. When more important support functions are outsourced to external providers, it is of particular importance that the company has efficient procedures to ensure the quality of the services that are delivered.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa complies with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework for evaluating a company's internal control over financial reporting, which contains the following five components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring.
  • Nyfosa has policy documents/handbooks for governing internal processes in various operating areas, such as transactions, property management, accounting and insider trading.
  • Processes, procedures and control functions for outsourced operations are stipulated in agreements and governing documents.
  • Nyfosa's Code of Conduct contains guidelines for the conduct of employees in certain situations and includes an established whistleblowing procedure.

FINANCIAL RISKS

CREDIT RISK

Risk description

The leasing rate and level of rental income are largely dependent on the company's own actions, but are also affected by economic cycles. Lower rental income and/or lower leasing rates could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings. Both rent levels and the leasing rate are highly affected by overall growth in the Swedish economy but also growth at regional and local levels where Nyfosa conducts operations. The risk of loss of rent and vacancies is also related to the tenant and contractual structure. For example, a concentration of tenants to a small number of larger parties leads to increased exposure. When a vacancy occurs, this could entail costs for customizing the premises for a new tenant, and a risk that the vacancy will be long-term. If tenants fail to fully meet their commitments in accordance with the lease, this may also lead to higher vacancy rates with a resulting reduction in property value.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa's property portfolio is geographically diversified, with a large number of tenants with differentiated lease tenures. In 2018, Nyfosa's ten largest tenants accounted for 19 percent of Nyfosa's total rental income, distributed among 132 leases. See the table showing the largest tenants on page 17 of this Annual Report.
  • The risk of bad debts is also managed by conducting credit assessments of tenants for all new leases and continuously during the lease term. If necessary, the lease may have to be supplemented with surety, a rental deposit or a bank guarantee. All rents are paid in advance on a quarterly or monthly basis.
  • A certain level of vacancies may have a positive effect, since it provides scope in the form of new leasing and flexibility in relation to existing tenants.

INTEREST-RATE RISK

Risk description

Interest-rate risk refers to the risk that changes in interest rates could affect Nyfosa's interest expenses, which represent the company's single largest cost item. In the longer term, changes in interest rates have a material impact on Nyfosa's profit and cash flow.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa mainly works with floating interest rates in its loan agreements. Mainly interest-rate caps are used to reduce interest-rate risk, but occasionally these can be combined with other derivatives such as interest-rate swaps.
  • Limiting interest-rate risk increases the predictability of Nyfosa's profit from property management and changes in interest-rate levels do not fully impact the Group's interest expenses.
  • Interest-rate caps and swaps are entered into to adapt the company's fixed-rate periods to the decided finance policy and existing loan agreements.

FINANCING AND REFINANCING RISK

Risk description

Nyfosa's strategy is to grow through acquisitions and the company finances its business primarily through borrowing and its own cash flows.

If raising loans becomes more difficult or more expensive, this would adversely impact the company's potential to acquire properties and implement investments and projects. There is also the risk that financing cannot be obtained or renewed when the loan expires, or only at sharply higher costs. Furthermore, there is a risk that additional capital in order to meet the company's future growth ambitions cannot be acquired, or that this cannot be achieved at terms that are advantageous to Nyfosa.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa works in accordance with a finance policy established by the Board, which stipulates, inter alia, general rules for the company's financing and how the risks associated with financing operations are to be limited.
  • The company engages in continuous discussions with existing and prospective financiers to ensure that the necessary financing can be obtained in all situations.
  • The assessment is that a stable financial position combined with a strong balance sheet and a high credit rating provides continued favorable potential for Nyfosa's ability to secure access to financing.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Risk description

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company is unable to meet its payment obligations when they are due without a significant increase in the cost of obtaining the funds. If Nyfosa's sources of financing prove to be insufficient, this could have a negative impact on the operations, financial position and earnings.

Risk management

  • Nyfosa makes use of both short-term liquidity forecasts and long-term liquidity planning to predict and mitigate liquidity risk. The forecasts and the plan are updated continuously on a weekly and quarterly basis.
  • In accordance with the finance policy, continuous work on refinancing the long-term loans concerned is conducted. The finance policy also addresses the matter of the investment of surplus liquidity. In addition, the Group has overdraft facilities to ensure more flexible cash management and to effectively deal with peaks and troughs in payment streams.

FINANCING

Nyfosa's operations are financed by a combination of equity and bank loans. With its strong financial position and many financing opportunities, Nyfosa is well-equipped for growth.

Equity

At December 31, 2018, Nyfosa's equity totaled MSEK 8,392 (3,479), of which share capital was MSEK 84, equal to an equity/assets ratio of 48.3 percent (25.5).

Nyfosa implemented two new share issues and received a shareholders' contribution in 2018. The company received a total of MSEK 3,844.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Nyfosa's interest-bearing liabilities comprise bank loans that amounted to MSEK 8,240 on December 31, 2018, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 52.9 percent.

The average interest rate was 1.6 percent and the fixed-rate period, including the effects of signed derivative agreements, was 1.6 years. The average loan maturity was 3.2 years. On December 31, 2018, Nyfosa also had overdraft facilities totaling MSEK 200, of which MSEK 174 was unutilized, and a revolving credit facility totaling MSEK 1,000, of which MSEK 439 was unutilized.

Change in the loan portfolio

During the year, new bank loans of MSEK 3,556 were raised to finance acquisitions of properties and refinance existing properties. A total of MSEK 561 of the liabilities

FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS

  • Long term, the equity/assets ratio is to amount to at least 25 percent
  • The loan-to-value ratio should not exceed 65 percent
  • The interest-coverage ratio should not fall below a multiple of two

The key figures above do not represent financial objectives but rather risk limits, making it natural for Nyfosa to have a certain margin for these.

were settled during the year in connection with vacating properties, refinancing and making regular contractual repayments. The net increase in the loan portfolio in 2018 amounted to MSEK 1,658.

Maturity structure

Bank loans of MSEK 858 fall due for payment during the first half of 2019. Nyfosa maintains regular dialog with mainly Nordic banks to secure its refinancing requirements. In addition to favorable opportunities for refinancing loan maturity with new bank loans and/or by issuing debt or hybrid instruments on the capital market, the company has an unutilized overdraft facility and healthy cash flows from operating activities.

Impact of changes in interest rates

Nyfosa largely works with variable interest rates in its loan agreements and manages interest-rate risk by using derivative instruments, primarily interest-rate caps at the current time. Limiting interest-rate risk increases the predictability of Nyfosa's profit from property management and changes in interest-rate levels do not fully impact the Group's interest expenses. In some cases, Nyfosa has entered into loan agreements with an interest-rate floor provision, meaning that STIBOR 3M cannot fall below zero. These loan agreements mean that Nyfosa cannot fully capitalize the low interest-rate scenario. The nominal volume of Nyfosa's outstanding interestrate caps on December 31, 2018, including the effects of signed derivative agreements, was SEK 4.5 billion.

GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF SHAREHOLDING December 31, 2018

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2018

Corporate governance at Nyfosa is based on Swedish law and other generally accepted good practice in the securities market as well as internal rules and guidelines. After the shares in the company were distributed from Hemfosa and admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on November 23, 2018, Nyfosa also started to apply the Swedish Corporate Governance Code ("the Code"). Nyfosa has applied the Code without any deviations since the company was listed.

General Meetings

The General Meeting is Nyfosa's highest decision-making body, at which the shareholders exercise their voting rights. The Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) and the Articles of Association prescribe how notice of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Extraordinary General Meetings are to take place and who is entitled to participate in and vote at such Meetings. In addition to laws on a shareholder's right to participate in a General Meeting, Nyfosa's Articles of Association stipulate that shareholders must notify their intention to attend the General Meeting five weekdays before the Meeting, and also give notification if they intend to be accompanied by an assistant. There are no restrictions on the number of votes that each shareholder may cast at the Meeting. Nyfosa's General Meetings are held in Nacka or Stockholm. The company does not apply any special arrangements to the function of the General Meeting, either based on the provisions of the Articles of Association or any shareholders' agreements known to the company. Resolutions adopted at a General Meeting are announced after the Meeting in a press release, and the minutes from the Meeting are published on the company's website.

An Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 21, 2018 authorized the Board on one or more occasions for the period until the conclusion of the 2019 AGM, by applying or disapplying shareholders' preferential rights, to decide to issue new

shares in the company, although not more than 10 percent of the total number of shares in Nyfosa on the date of the utilization of the authorization.

The share and shareholders

Information about Nyfosa shares and major shareholders is provided on pages 42–43 of this Annual Report. No shareholders, directly or indirectly, hold shares that represent one tenth or more of the votes for all shares in the company.

Nomination Committee

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Nyfosa on May 21, 2018 adopted instructions for the Nomination Committee's composition and work within the company. According to these instructions, which apply until further notice, the Nomination Committee is to comprise the Chairman of the Board and four members appointed by the four largest shareholders in the company in terms of voting rights on July 31. However, in connection with the Nomination Committee being established for the first time after the shares of Nyfosa had been admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm, and according to a resolution by the General Meeting, the four largest shareholders in the company in terms of voting rights on November 30, 2018 were entitled to appoint the members of the Nomination Committee. The chairman of the Nomination Committee is to be the member representing the largest shareholder in terms of voting rights, unless the members agree otherwise. The composition of the Nomination Committee is to be announced not later than six months before the AGM. If a Committee member leaves or major changes take place in the ownership structure, the composition of the Nomination Committee may change to reflect this. Such a change will then be announced as soon as possible. The task of the Nomination Committee is to prepare proposals on the election of Board members and auditors, remuneration of the

Board members and auditors, the election of the Chairman of the Meeting and any necessary amendments to the instructions for the Nomination Committee. For more information about the current instructions for the Nomination Committee, visit the company's website.

Nyfosa's Nomination Committee ahead of the 2019 AGM comprises Johannes Wingborg, Länsförsäkringar Fondförvaltning AB (Chairman of the Nomination Committee), Lennart Francke, Swedbank Robur funds, Mikael Falck, Kåpan Pensioner, Thomas Ehlin, Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund and Bengt Kjell, Board Chairman of Nyfosa. The Nomination Committee applied the Code's rule 4.1 on diversity policy for its work. The aim of the diversity policy is to satisfy the importance of sufficient diversity on the Board of Directors in respect of gender, age and nationality, as well as experience, professional background and lines of business. The Board comprises three women and four men, meaning that the percentage of women is almost 43 percent, which was established to accord with the Swedish Corporate Governance Board's stated objective of about 40 percent for the least represented gender. Additional information is available in the Nomination Committee's reasoned statement regarding the Nomination Committee's proposals to the 2019 AGM.

Board of Directors

According to the Articles of Association, Nyfosa's Board of Directors is to comprise at least four and no more than ten members, with no deputy members. The Articles of Association contain no specific clauses governing the appointment or dismissal of Board members or regarding amendment of the Articles of Association. The members of the Board are elected by the AGM for the period until the end of the next AGM. The Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 7, 2018 elected Bengt Kjell, Marie Bucht Toresäter, Lisa Dominguez Flodin, Jens Engwall, Johan Ericsson, Per Lindblad and Kristina Sawjani as Board members. Bengt Kjell was also elected Chairman of the Board. For more information about Nyfosa's Board members and information about their independence in relation to the company and management, refer to page 47. No Board members are employed in the Group except Jens Engwall (who is the CEO). Information about the company's largest shareholders is provided on pages 42–43.

The Board is the company's highest administrative body and its duties are regulated by the Swedish Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the Code. The Board of Directors is thus responsible for the company's organization and the administration of the company's affairs. The Board is also charged with monitoring financial developments, ensuring the quality of financial reporting and the internal control and evaluating the operations based on the established objectives and guidelines adopted by the Board. Furthermore, the Board decides on significant investments and major changes in the Group's organization and operations. This work is based on rules of procedure adopted by the Board every year that

regulate the distribution of work and responsibilities between the Board members and CEO. The Board also adopts a delegation of authority and instructions for financial reporting, the CEO and the Board's Committees, and decides on a number of general policies for the company's operations. These include an insider policy, finance policy, IT policy, information security policy, sustainability policy, communication policy and policy on related-party transactions. All of these internal governing documents are reviewed at least once annually and also regularly updated as necessary.

The work of the Board of Directors

In addition to the statutory Board meeting, elected held immediately after the AGM, the Board meets at least six times a year (scheduled Board meetings). The dates of meetings and the main standing items on the agenda to be discussed at the scheduled meetings follow a set plan in the Board's rules of procedure. Extra Board meetings can be convened when required. Nyfosa's Board held 17 meetings during the year, two of which were statutory Board meetings. Five of these meetings were held as a one-man Board of Directors in private settings, while 12 meetings were held by the current Board elected ahead of the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm. For information about attendance at these meetings, see the table on page 46. The secretary at the Board meetings is the company's Head of Legal. Prior to each meeting, the Board members receive an agenda and written material for the items to be discussed at the meeting. The agenda ahead of each scheduled Board meeting included a number of standing items: The CEO's review of the operations, acquisitions, divestments and investments as well as financial reporting.

In 2018, besides regular Board matters, including major acquisitions, divestments and investments, the Board addressed issues related to the distribution of the company from Hemfosa and the listing of the Group. The Board also focused particularly on preparing a strategy and business plan.

Evaluation of the Board and the CEO

Once annually, in accordance with the Board of Directors' rules of procedure, the Chairman of the Board initiates an evaluation of the Board's work. In 2018, the Chairman had some separate contact with the members as part of this evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the results of the Board's and the Committees' work, the effectiveness of the work method and how it can be improved. The evaluation also aims to identify the type of matters that the Board should be given more scope to address and the areas that could potentially require additional experience and expertise on the Board. The result of the evaluation was discussed by the Board and reported to the Nomination Committee by the Chairman. The Board also continuously evaluates the work of the CEO. An evaluation is carried out at least once a year without the CEO attending.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board Committees

The Board has established two committees from within its ranks: an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee, which both follow instructions adopted by the Board. These committees are sub-committees that prepare matters for the Board and do not have any own power of decision. The matters addressed at committee meetings are minuted and reported as necessary at the next Board meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is to assist the Board in completing its supervisory role of audit matters. The Committee's main task is stipulated in the Companies Act. These include overseeing the company's financial reporting, risk management and the effectiveness of internal control and governance as well as maintaining contact with and evaluating the work, qualifications and independence of the external auditor.

1) Before the current Board comprising seven members was elected at the Extraordinary General Meeting on May 7, 2018 (prior to the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm), the company had only one Board member, Jens Engwall. In his capacity as the sole Board member, Jens Engwall held five Board meetings before the remaining Board members took office. For this reason, Jens Engwall has a higher number of total Board meetings than the remaining members.

AUDITOR

KPMG AB

Auditor-in-Charge Mattias Johansson, born in 1973, is an Authorized Public Accountant, partner of KMPG Sweden and member of FAR (institute for the accountancy profession in Sweden).

Auditor

At the AGM on January 17, 2018, KPMG AB was elected to serve as auditor until the end of the next AGM. Auditorin-Charge Mattias Johansson was born in 1973 and is an Authorized Public Accountant and member of FAR (institute for the accountancy profession in Sweden).

The auditor examines the Annual Report, accounts and the administration by the Board and CEO. The auditor then reports to the AGM. In addition to the audit assignment, KPMG was engaged for additional services in 2018, primarily tax advice and advisory services in connection with acquisitions (financial due diligence) and also listing-related matters and organizational issues. Such services have always, and solely, been provided insofar as they are consistent with the regulations in the Swedish Auditing Act (1999:1079) and FAR's rules of professional conduct pertaining to the objectivity and independence of auditors.

Internal control and governance

The Board's responsibility for the internal control and governance is regulated by the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Code. Information about Nyfosa's system for internal control, governance, risk management and the Board's measures to monitor the effectiveness of the internal control and governance is to be included in the company's corporate governance report. The Board, which has ultimate responsibility, is to ensure, inter alia, that Nyfosa has effective internal control and formalized procedures to ensure compliance with established principles for financial reporting, internal control and governance. The Group's Head of Financial Control is responsible for implementing and maintaining the formalized procedures.

Nyfosa's procedures and processes for internal control, governance and risk management are based on the COSO framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). The process has been designed to ensure adequate risk management, including reliable financial reporting in accordance with IFRS, applicable laws and regulations as well as other requirements to be applied by companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. This work involves the Board, Group Management and other personnel.

Control environment

Nyfosa's control environment is founded on governing documents, processes and structures that set the basis for establishing internal control and governance in the organization. The Board monitors and ensures the quality of the internal control and governance in accordance with in the Board's rules of procedure, the instructions for the CEO and the Committees and the associated delegation of authority and attestation ordinance. In addition, the Board has adopted a risk management policy that includes fundamental guidelines governing risk management, internal control and governance. These guidelines pertain to, for example, risk assessment, risk measures, control activities, action plans, evaluation and reporting. The internal control and governance activities are also presented in other governing documents, such as Nyfosa's accounting manual, sustainability policy and finance policy. These activities include regular checks and follow-ups of outcome compared with expectations and previous years, and supervision of, for example, the accounting policies applied by Nyfosa.

Since the Group's ongoing accounting activities and the preparation of the quarterly and annual accounts, etc. have been partly outsourced to an external service provider (Newsec Asset Management AB), Nyfosa's accounting manual also addresses the cooperation with this provider. The responsibility for maintaining an effective control environment and the continuous work on risk assessment and internal control and governance regarding the financial reporting is delegated to the CEO. However, the Board has ultimate responsibility. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the efficiency of the company's internal control, governance and risk management regarding the financial reporting. Group Management regularly reports to the Board and the Audit Committee following established procedures. Responsibilities, authorities and governing documents comprise the control environment for Nyfosa, together with laws and regulations. All internal governing documents are regularly updated to include changes in, for example, legislation, accounting standards or listing requirements.

Risk assessment

Every year, Nyfosa's Group Management performs a risk evaluation of strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks in connection with the business planning process. The risks identified as the most material are documented in a risk list that is evaluated by Nyfosa's Group Management and a risk owner is appointed for every risk to clarify the division of responsibilities and ownership. The risk analysis also includes an assessment of the control activities established throughout the operations to manage the risks. Taking into account these existing control activities, the probability of a

risk occurring within a defined period of time is evaluated, as is its impact on established targets. The risk assessment provides insight into the consequences for the Group if no action is taken, the risk-reducing measures that are in place and the level of risk that the organization wants to achieve by taking further action. The outcome of the risk analysis and accompanying action plan is presented to the Audit Committee and Board.

Control activities

Nyfosa's control activities are established based on identified risks, with the aim of ensuring Nyfosa's internal control and governance over the company's financial reporting. Identified risks are managed by implementing well-defined key processes with integrated control activities, such as dividing and delegating responsibility, cooperation and principles for distribution of responsibility between Nyfosa and Newsec and a defined decision-making process. Nyfosa's key processes include activities and controls intended to manage and minimize identified risks. In addition to these key processes, Nyfosa's control activities comprise ongoing monitoring of financial results and financial position, company-wide controls and general IT controls.

Information and communication

Nyfosa has built an organization, procedures and systems for information and communication aimed at providing the market with relevant, reliable, correct and up-to-date information about the Group's performance and financial position and ensuring that the financial reporting is correct and effective. The internal governing documents clarify who is responsible for what, and the daily interaction between the officers concerned ensures that the necessary information and communication reaches all relevant parties. Every month, Group Management receives certain financial information about the company and its subsidiaries in respect of the development of leasing and other property management work, reviews and monitoring of ongoing and future investments and liquidity planning. The Board receives regular financial reports on the Group's financial position and earnings performance. In addition, the Board receives a report every year from Group Management on consolidated risks for the Group with an accompanying action plan, which in turn is followed up by the Board and Group Management once per year. For external disclosure of information, a communications policy has been adopted by the Board, designed to ensure that the company complies with the requirements for disseminating correct information to the market at the right time.

Monitoring

The Board continuously evaluates the information provided by Group Management. Nyfosa's financial position, investments and operating activities are normally discussed at each Board meeting and Group Management meeting. The Board is also responsible for monitoring the internal control and governance. This work includes ensuring that measures are taken to address any shortcomings, and following up proposals to address issues highlighted in connection with the external audit.

Follow-ups and separate evaluations are continuously carried out in accordance with an adopted risk management policy and accounting manual at various levels within the Group. The risk owner appointed in the risk management policy is responsible for the management of a specific risk by regularly analyzing developments, monitoring risk measures and providing status reports to management. Approved measures and risk owners are also monitored based on the Board's and Group Management's annual follow-up of the action plan, at the same time as line managers are given the opportunity to highlight relevant risk information. The risk management process is in turn evaluated once a year to identify opportunities for improvement.

Internal audit

In light of Nyfosa's operations, organizational structure and the organization of the financial reporting, the Board has not found any reason to establish a separate internal audit function. Instead, the company's Group-wide controller function has been adapted to also manage the internal control activities. The matter of establishing a separate internal audit function is discussed by the Board every year.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and CEO of Nyfosa AB ("Nyfosa"), postal address Box 4044, SE-131 04 Nacka, Sweden and Corp. Reg. No. 559131-0833, hereby submit the Annual Report and consolidated annual accounts for the 2018 financial year.

Comparative figures presented in parentheses refer to the preceding year. The financial statements are presented in millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK), meaning that rounding differences may occur.

Operations

Nyfosa is a transaction-based and opportunistic property company in which business activities are in focus. The company's business concept is based on active participation in the Swedish transaction market combined with an investment strategy that can be flexible to the property market, meaning that it is not limited by property category, region, scope of the transaction or holding period. A flexible investment strategy and an efficient and near-to-market organization with documented transaction know-how and experience from assessing and evaluating risks provide Nyfosa with a solid foundation for creating and completing investments in properties or property portfolios that are often on the peripheral in terms of the types of investments preferred by other operators. The emphasis is on identifying value and assessing the development potential to leverage business opportunities that may lead to a portfolio of high-yielding properties, primarily commercial. Nyfosa's method of conducting property transactions and developing and adding value to properties creates a property portfolio with the potential to generate high and stable return.

Business concept

Nyfosa's mission is to be a transaction-based, opportunistic property company with strong forward momentum. Nyfosa will change in pace with the property market to always identify the best possible transactions and capitalize on business opportunities when they arise. Nyfosa will generate a sustained and high return and be cash-flow driven with the ambition to grow both its cash flow and property portfolio.

Vision

Nyfosa will identify and complete the most profitable transactions in a changing property market by identifying and developing value and getting the best out of each investment in order to maximize shareholder value. Nyfosa also aims to create added value by being the best in the property sector at complex transactions.

Organization and employees

Nyfosa has a decentralized and relatively small organization, which creates the conditions for efficient and short decision-making paths where all employees have an awareness and understanding of the company's objectives and strategies. The operational structure takes the form of Group Management, Group-wide functions and property management. In order to create flexibility that can be adapted to Nyfosa's development, the organizational structure is flat, in which the most vital functions are provided in-house. The more standardized functions are insourced from external service providers.

Group Management

Nyfosa's Group Management has extensive knowledge of the property market and long experience of conducting property transactions and value creating investments in the property portfolio. It comprises seven people: CEO, COO, Head of Legal, Head of Finance, Head of Financial Control, Head of Property Management and Head of Transactions.

Group-wide functions

Nyfosa has Group-wide functions for economy, finance, market/communication, legal issues and transactions. At year-end, a total of nine employees worked in these functions (excl. members of Group Management).

Property management

The company's head office is located in Nacka, Stockholm, with local property management offices in Västerås, Värnamo, Växjö, Gothenburg and Malmö. The average number of employees in the property management organization at year-end was 13 (excl. members of Group Management). The properties in Norrland are mainly managed by an external manager.

Employees

The number of employees in Nyfosa at year-end was 27. The percentage of women senior executives was about 57 percent. The average number of employees in 2018 was 17 (6).

Corporate governance

A separate corporate governance report can be found on pages 44–51 of this Annual Report.

Guidelines for remuneration of and other terms of employment for senior executives

The Extraordinary General Meeting on May 21, 2018 resolved on guidelines for the remuneration of Nyfosa's senior executives for the period until the 2019 AGM. These guidelines include the fact that Nyfosa is to apply market-based and competitive forms of remuneration that are simple, long-term and measurable. Remuneration may comprise a fixed and variable portion. The guidelines include requirements for the structure of remuneration and a cap on variable remuneration. The Board may deviate from the guidelines if there are special reasons to do so in an individual case. Such deviations are to be presented at the next AGM. For the complete guidelines, visit the company's website. The amount of remuneration paid in 2018 is presented in Note 8.

Significant risks and uncertainties

All organizations encounter uncertainty and the challenge is to determine how much uncertainty can be accepted in the company's efforts to increase value for its stakeholders. Uncertainty presents both opportunities and risks with the potential to both increase and erode value. Company-wide risk management enables management to efficiently manage uncertainty and related opportunities and risks.

Risk management is an integrated part of the business planning process at Nyfosa. Critical success factors for achieving the growth and return objectives were identified in the company's long-term business plan. The main uncertainty factor is attributable to changes in value in the property portfolio. The value of the properties is affected not only by supply and demand in the market but also by a number of other factors, in part property-specific factors such as the leasing rate, rent level and operating expenses, and in part such market-specific factors as the yield requirement and the cost of capital, which are derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Deterioration in either a property or the market could cause the value of the properties to decline, which could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

For information on financial risks and financial risk management, see Note 3.

Sustainability Report

In accordance with Chapter 6, Section 11 of the Annual Accounts Act, Nyfosa has decided to prepare the statutory sustainability report as a separate report from the Annual Report, found on pages 27–34 of this Annual Report.

Commentary on financial performance

Income

For the full-year 2018, income amounted to MSEK 1,064 (1,031), of which rental income was MSEK 1,060 (870). Rental income increased by MSEK 190, or 22 percent, yearon-year, which was primarily the result of a larger property

portfolio and contractual indexation of leases. The total leasable area on December 31, 2018 amounted to 1,577 thousand sqm (1,136) and the economic leasing rate was 92 percent (89).

Net operating income

The main property expenses included in net operating income are operating expenses, such as heating, water, electricity and property upkeep. Net operating income also includes costs for maintenance, ground rent and property tax. Property expenses amounted to MSEK 300 (254). Costs for property administration, primarily expenses for charging rent, leasing, project management and marketing, amounted to MSEK 36 (30). The increase in property portfolio and administration expenses was 19 percent, due to a larger property portfolio.

Management of the portfolio resulted in a surplus from net operating income of 68.4 percent (72.4). The lower surplus ratio was primarily due to insurance compensation that the company received in the preceding year.

Profit from property management

Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 52 (9). The growing organization was the reason for the increase. Other operating income and expenses essentially comprise costs attributable to the demerger and listing process, a total of MSEK 44.

Profit from shares in joint ventures of MSEK 412 (380) mainly comprised Nyfosa's share of Söderport's net profit for the year.

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –131 (–106). The increase was due to higher net debt. The average interest rate in the loan portfolio on December 31, 2018 was 1.6 percent (1.5).

Profit from property management excluding profit from shares in joint ventures amounted to MSEK 505 (634). The lower profit was mainly the result of the company receiving insurance compensation in 2017, and non-recurring costs during 2018 for the demerger and listing process and a larger organization.

Changes in value

The changes in value of properties amounted to MSEK 800 (376), of which unrealized changes in value totaled MSEK 658 (348). Of unrealized changes in value, MSEK 190 comprised income recognition of the price deduction received for deferred tax on acquisition. Other changes in value were mainly the result of lower yield requirements and investments made in existing properties.

Tax

The tax expense for the year amounted to MSEK 107 (180), of which MSEK 81 (145) pertained to changes in deferred tax liabilities attributable to investment properties. The effective tax rate was 6 percent (13). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 22 percent was mainly due to the profit from

shares in joint ventures comprising profit after tax, and thus did not constitute taxable income for Nyfosa, but was also due to non-taxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies and valuations of loss carryforwards.

Equity

Equity amounted to MSEK 8,392 on the balance-sheet date, of which share capital amounted to MSEK 84. A shareholders' contribution of MSEK 3,760 was received from Hemfosa during the year and new share issues provided the company with an additional MSEK 84.

Interest-bearing liabilities

On the balance-sheet date, Nyfosa had interest-bearing liabilities of MSEK 8,240, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 52.9 percent. These liabilities comprise bank loans with an average interest rate of 1.6 percent. The average fixed-rate period, including the effects of signed derivative agreements, was 1.6 years and the average loan maturity was 3.2 years. On the balance-sheet date, Nyfosa also had overdraft facilities totaling MSEK 200, of which MSEK 26 had been utilized, and a revolving credit facility totaling MSEK 1,000, of which MSEK 561 had been utilized.

Cash flow

The operating activities contributed a positive cash flow of MSEK 1,207 during the year. Taking possession of and vacating properties, both directly and indirectly via companies, impacted cash flow from investing activities by a net MSEK –2,509. Dividends on participations in joint ventures amounted to MSEK 200. Cash flow from financing activities contributed a positive MSEK 1,329, due to refinancing of liabilities to Hemfosa Fastigheter, repayments in connection with vacating properties and loans raised when taking possession of properties.

Parent Company

In connection with the establishment of the Nyfosa Group, the Parent Company acquired, through its subsidiary Nyfosa Holding AB, 122 companies from the Hemfosa Fastigheter Group and the shares in Söderport Holding AB.

In 2018, Nyfosa AB received capital contributions of MSEK 3,844 from Hemfosa Fastigheter AB in the form of new share issues and unconditional shareholders' contributions.

The Parent Company established Group-wide functions for Nyfosa during the year for which the subsidiaries were invoiced with fees for central and property administrative services of MSEK 22 (–). In addition, earnings were charged with expenses totaling MSEK 44 in connection with the demerger and listing process.

The share

The Nyfosa share is listed on the Large Cap segment of Nasdaq Stockholm. At year-end, the share capital amounted to MSEK 84 (0). The number of shares on the balance-sheet date amounted to 167,728,249 with a quotient value of SEK 0.50 each (1.00). Each share entitles the holder to one vote. The number of shareholders on the balance-sheet date was 19,578. For a list of the largest shareholders, refer to the section "The share" on pages 42–43 of this Annual Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

Nyfosa AB, Corporate Registration Number 559131-0833, is a public limited liability company with its registered office in Nacka. The company's share has been traded on the Large Cap segment of Nasdaq Stockholm since November 23, 2018. The Annual Report and consolidated financial statement were approved for issue by the Board of Directors and the CEO on March 28, 2019. The consolidated statement of profit/loss, statement of profit/loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position as well as the Parent Company statement of profit/loss and statement of financial position will be adopted at the Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2019.

NOTE 2

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Compliance with standards and legislation

The consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the EU. The Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups has also been applied. The Parent Company applies the same accounting policies as the Group except for the cases stated below in the section "Parent Company accounting policies."

Accounting policies for the combined financial statements

Nyfosa AB was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office on October 27, 2017 and was dormant until December 2017. Nyfosa AB acquired 122 companies (indirectly) at carrying amount from various subsidiaries of Hemfosa Fastigheter AB between December 2017 and May 2018. The acquired companies are primarily property-owning companies, but also holding companies. Since the operations have not historically formed a Group according to the IFRS definition, there are no consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to May 2018. Accordingly, the historical financial information for the periods prior to December 31, 2017 have been prepared as combined financial statements for Nyfosa AB and its subsidiaries. The accounting policies for the combined financial statements are presented in Note 2 Significant accounting policies on page F-37 of the prospectus "Admission to trading of the shares in Nyfosa AB on Nasdaq Stockholm."

Measurement basis applied to the preparation of the financial statements

Assets and liabilities are recognized at historical cost, except for fixed-income derivative instruments and investment properties that are measured at fair value.

Functional currency and reporting currency

The functional currency is Swedish kronor (SEK), which is also the reporting currency. This means that the financial statements are presented in SEK. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are rounded to the nearest million.

Judgements and estimates in the financial statements

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that company management make judgements and estimates, and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recognized. The actual outcome may deviate from these judgements and estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes in estimates are recognized 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 the period in question and future periods. Judgements made by company management in the application of IFRS that have a significant impact on the financial statements and estimates made that may entail significant adjustments in the following year's financial statements are described in more detail in Note 23.

Significant accounting policies applied

The accounting policies described below were applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Group's accounting policies were also consistently applied by the Group's companies.

Changed accounting policies

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments establishes new policies for the classification of financial assets and hedge accounting and also introduces an impairment model for receivables based on expected credit losses instead of occurred losses. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. Following an analysis, credit risks in the statement of financial position are deemed to be very small since receivables mainly comprise rent receivables for advance payments, meaning that the new standard had a marginal impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaced existing IFRSs governing revenue recognition on January 1, 2018. The Group's revenue essentially comprises rental income recognized according to IAS 17 Leases, which is why IFRS 15 only applies to sales of property management services and media. The effects on the consolidated financial statements comprise extended disclosure requirements in the form of dividing income into rental income and other income.

New IFRS that have not yet been applied

Effective 2019, IFRS 16 Leases replaces existing IFRSs related to the recognition of leases, such as IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and SIC 15 Operating Leases—Incentives. The Group has decided not to implement IFRS 16 prospectively. Nyfosa will apply the modified retrospective approach.

The new standard encompasses rules for both lessors and lessees. Nyfosa's income is primarily generated from rental income and is thus subject to the IFRS 16 rules for lessors. The rules for lessors are largely unchanged and the classification between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 materially changes reporting for lessees. The standard changes the previous distribution between finance and operating leases and a finance lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset is to be recognized for all leases. An expense for depreciation of the asset and an interest expense attributable to the finance lease liability are recognized in profit or loss instead of being continuously expenses as paid lease payments. Based on the information available, the Group estimates that it will recognize right-of-use assets of MSEK 75, current lease liabilities

of MSEK 2 and non-current lease liabilities MSEK 73, which will reduce equity by a net MSEK 0 as per January 1, 2019.

Other new and amended IFRS with advance application are not expected to have any material impact on the company's financial statements.

Classification etc.

Non-current assets and non-current liabilities essentially comprise amounts expected to be recovered or paid more than 12 months after the balance-sheet date. Virtually all significant current assets and current liabilities in the Parent Company and Group consist of amounts expected to be recovered or paid within 12 months of the balance-sheet date.

Operating segment reporting

Nyfosa's operations comprise one operating segment, that is to say, the operations comprise a business that generates income and expenses and whose operating profit is regularly assessed by the company's chief operating decision maker as a basis for monitoring earnings and allocating resources.

Consolidation principles

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies that are under the controlling influence of Nyfosa. Controlling influence is achieved when Nyfosa has control over the investment object, is exposed or entitled to a variable return from its holding in the company and can exercise control over the investment to influence the return. When assessing whether controlling influence exists, potential vote-carrying shares are taken into account, as is whether the company has de facto control. Acquisitions of companies can be classified either as business combinations or as asset purchases according to IFRS 3. This is an individual assessment that is made for each individual acquisition. Should the corporate acquisition essentially only comprise property(ies) and not significant processes, the acquisition is classified as an asset purchase. Other corporate acquisitions are classified as business combinations and thus include strategic processes associated with the operation. In the case of an asset purchase, deferred tax attributable to the property acquisition is not recognized. Instead, a possible discount for non-tax-deductible cost reduces the property's cost. During subsequent measurement of an acquired property at fair value, the tax discount will be replaced in full or in part by a recognized change in value of the property. When selling an asset subject to a tax discount, a negative change in value will arise, which matches in full or in part the tax discount provided. Acquisitions conducted to date have been assessed as constituting asset purchases. When acquisitions of subsidiaries entail an acquisition of net assets that do not constitute an operation, the cost is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair value on the acquisition date. Transaction costs are added to the cost of the acquired net assets. Non-controlling interests arise if the acquisition is not for 100 percent of the subsidiary. Non-controlling interests can be recognized in two ways. These two alternatives are recognizing the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of net assets or measuring the non-controlling interests at fair value, meaning that the non-controlling interests have a share of goodwill. The choice between the two options for recognizing non-controlling interests is made on a case-by-case basis.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests

Acquisitions from non-controlling interests are recognized as a transaction in equity, meaning between the Parent Company shareholders and non-controlling interests. Accordingly, goodwill does not arise in these transactions. Changes in non-controlling interests are based on their proportionate share of net assets.

Sales to non-controlling interests

Sales to non-controlling interests, whereby the controlling influence remains, are recognized as a transaction in equity, meaning between the Parent Company shareholders and non-controlling interests. The difference between the proceeds received and the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of net assets of the acquiree is recognized under retained earnings.

Joint ventures

For accounting purposes, joint ventures are defined as companies in which the Group has common control through cooperation agreements with one or more partners, whereby the Group is entitled to the net assets rather than a direct right to assets and commitments pertaining to liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, holdings in joint ventures are consolidated in accordance with the equity method. The equity method entails that the carrying amount of the share in joint ventures recognized in the consolidated financial statements corresponds to the Group's share of the joint ventures' equity as well as consolidated goodwill and any other remaining consolidated surpluses or deficits. The Group's share of the profit of joint ventures adjusted for any depreciation/amortization, impairment and dissolution of acquired surpluses or deficits is recognized in the Group's profit for the year as "Share in profit of joint ventures." These shares in profit less dividends received from joint ventures comprise the main change in the carrying amount of participations in joint ventures. The Group's share of other comprehensive income in joint ventures is recognized on a separate line in the Group's other comprehensive income. Any differences arising from the acquisition between the cost of the holding and the owner company's share of the net fair value of the joint venture's identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized in accordance with the same policies as for acquisitions of subsidiaries. Transaction costs that arise are included in cost. When the Group's share of recognized losses in joint ventures exceeds the carrying amount of the participations in the Group, the value of the participations is reduced to zero. Losses are also deducted against non-current financial balances without collateral, which in terms of the economic significance comprise part of the owner company's net investment in joint ventures. Continued losses are not recognized unless the Group has provided guarantees to cover losses arising in joint ventures. The equity method is applied until the date on which the significant influence ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group receivables and liabilities, income and expenses, and unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in their entirety when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with joint ventures are eliminated to the extent corresponding to the Group's participating interest in the company. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same manner as unrealized gains, but only insofar as no impairment is required.

Rental income

Rental income encompass all types of rental income including such additions as property tax, heating, etc. Rental income is recognized straight line in profit or loss based on the conditions of the agreement. The total cost for rent discounts provided are recognized as a decrease in rental income straight line over the lease term. Leases are classified as operating leases.

Other property income

Other property income comprises onward invoiced costs, insurance compensation received and damages.

Gains/losses from property sales

Gains/losses from the sale of properties and shares and participations in property-owning companies are recognized under the heading "Changes in value of properties, realized" and correspond to the difference between the obtained selling price less selling expenses and the most recent carrying amount, plus investments implemented following the latest value date. Income from property sales is recognized on the date of taking possession, unless the risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer on an earlier occasion. If the risks and benefits have been transferred, the property sale is recognized at the earlier date. In assessing the date of revenue recognition, agreements between the parties governing risks and benefits, as well as involvement in ongoing management, are taken into account.

Circumstances beyond the control of the seller and/or buyer that could affect completion of the transaction are also taken into consideration. Any provisions for such items as non-invoiced selling expenses or other remaining costs attributable to the transaction conducted are made on the sales date.

Other operating income

Other operating income refers to income from secondary activities in the normal business operations such as capital gains on tangible assets, exchange-rate gains on receivables and operating liabilities.

Leases

Leases under which the lessor accounts for essentially all risks and benefits associated with ownership are classified as operating leases. All leases attributable to investment properties are to be considered operating leases. Refer to the policy on income for information on recognition of these leases. Expenses attributable to operating leases are recognized in profit or loss straight line over the leasing term. Discounts received when an agreement is signed are recognized in profit or loss as a decrease in lease payments straight line over the term of the lease. Variable fees are expensed in the periods in which they arise. The Group does not have any finance leases in which the Group is lessor.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on invested funds. Interest income is recognized at the rate in which it is earned. Financial expenses refer to interest, fees and other expenses arising when Nyfosa takes up interest-bearing liabilities. Financial expenses are charged to profit or loss for the period to which they are attributable. Derivatives are utilized to financially hedge the risks of interest-rate exposure to which the Group is exposed. Interest payments regarding fixed-income derivatives are recognized as interest expenses in the period to which they refer. Other changes in the fair value of fixedincome derivatives are recognized on a separate line in profit or loss.

Taxes

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except when the underlying transaction is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

Current tax is tax that is to be paid or received in the current year, with the application of the tax rates that have been decided or are decided in practice on the balance-sheet date. Current tax also includes adjustments of current tax attributable to prior periods.

Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance-sheet method, based on temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences are not recognized for differences arising on initial reporting of assets and liabilities that are not business combinations that, at the time of the transaction, affect neither recognized nor taxable earnings. Temporary differences attributable to participations in subsidiaries and joint ventures that are not expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future are also not taken into consideration. The valuation

of deferred tax is based on how the underlying assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax is calculated with the application of the tax rates and tax rules established or decided in practice on the balance-sheet date. Deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards are only recognized to the extent that it is likely that it will be possible to utilize these. Changes in the deferred tax asset/tax liability are recognized in profit or loss as deferred tax. Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where they relate to income tax levied by the same authority and where the Group intends to settle the tax in a net amount.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments recognized in the statement of financial position include such assets as cash and cash equivalents, rent and accounts receivables and derivatives. Liabilities include accounts payable, loans and notes payable, as well as derivatives.

Recognition in and derecognition from the statement of financial position

A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the statement of financial position when the company becomes party to it in accordance with the instrument's contractual conditions. A receivable is recognized when the Group has performed and a contractual obligation for the counterparty to pay exists, even if an invoice has not been sent. Accounts receivable are recognized in the statement of financial position when an invoice has been sent. A liability is recognized when the counterparty has performed and a contractual obligation for the company to pay exists, even if an invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recognized when the invoice has been received. A financial asset is derecognized from the statement of financial position when the rights in the contract are realized, have matured or the company loses control over them. The same applies to portions of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized from the statement of financial position when the obligation in the contract is met or eliminated in another manner. The same applies to a portion of a financial liability. A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and recognized in a net amount in the statement of financial position only when a legal right exists to offset the amounts and there is an intention to settle the item in a net amount or to simultaneously realize the asset and settle the liability. Acquisitions and divestments of financial assets are recognized on the date of transaction, meaning the date on which the company undertakes to acquire or divest the asset.

Classification and measurement

Financial instruments, which are not derivatives, are initially recognized at cost, corresponding to the fair value of the instrument plus transaction costs. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value without additions or deductions for transaction costs; transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. A financial instrument is classified upon initial recognition based on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. The classification determines how the financial instrument is measured following initial recognition, as described below.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

This category primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, rent receivables and other receivables. The business model comprises generating value by receiving contractual payments. Measurement is carried out at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method. The Group applies the simplified approach to credit loss reserves (loss allowance), which are continuously assessed based on past history, current factors and forward-looking factors. The loss allowance totals an insignificant amount due to the short terms of the receivables.

NOTE 2 cont.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities in this category primarily refer to loans, accounts payable and other liabilities. Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method. Interest expenses and exchange-rate gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Hedge accounting is not applied to fixed-income derivatives.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets comprise equipment that has been recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Cost includes the purchase price and costs directly attributable to transport the asset to the correct site and to prepare it for the manner intended by the acquisition. Depreciation takes place straight line over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives are: Equipment 5–10 years The asset is depreciated from the acquisition date. The useful life is the period during which the asset is expected to be available for use in the Group.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held for the purpose of receiving rental income or an increase in value or a combination of the two. Properties under construction and conversion intended to be used as investment properties when the work is completed are also classified as investment properties.

Measurement

Investment properties are initially recognized at cost, which includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition such as expenses for land registration and taking out mortgage deeds. Investment properties are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Fair value is based on the valuations of independent appraisers with recognized qualifications and satisfactory expertise in the valuation of properties of this type and in the relevant locations. All properties are valued every quarter. The properties are also inspected if they have not been visited by the appraisers for the last two years. Fair value is based on market value, which is the amount estimated to be received in a transaction at the time of valuation between knowledgeable parties who are independent of each other and who have an interest in the transaction being carried out after customary marketing in which both parties are assumed to have acted with insight, common sense and without coercion. Additional expenses are capitalized only when it is probable that the Group will receive future financial benefits associated with the asset and the expenses can be reliably determined. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the purchase, construction or production of assets that take a considerable amount of time to complete for their intended use or sale are included in cost. For the Nyfosa Group, this is mainly the case in conjunction with the construction of or major conversion projects for investment properties. Borrowing costs are calculated based on the financial requirements of the project and the Group's borrowing costs. Borrowing costs comprise interest and other expenses arising when a company borrows money. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Both unrealized and realized changes in value are recognized in profit or loss, after profit from property management. Rental income and income from property sales are recognized in accordance with the policies described in the section on revenue recognition. A description of the measurement method applied, material input data in value measurements and the level in the fair value hierarchy that applies to the various components of the property portfolio is presented in Note 13.

Impairment

The recognized assets are impairment tested on every balancesheet date. IAS 36 is applied to the impairment of assets that are not financial assets which are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9, deferred tax assets or investment properties which are measured at fair value (IAS 40). For the exempted assets above, the carrying amount is assessed according to the relevant standard.

Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability after the Annual General Meeting has approved the dividend.

Employee benefits

Defined-contribution pension plans

The Nyfosa Group has only defined-contribution pension plans. Defined-contribution pension plans are those plans in which the company's obligation is limited to the contributions the company undertakes to pay. In such cases, the amount of the employee's pension depends on the contributions that the company pays to the plan or to an insurance company and the return generated by the contribution. Consequently, it is the employee who bears the actuarial risk (that remuneration can be lower than expected) and the investment risk (that the invested assets may be insufficient for the expected remuneration). The company's obligations regarding contributions to defined-contribution plans are recognized as an expense in profit and loss at the rate in which they are earned by employees performing services for the company during a period.

Short-term remuneration

Short-term remuneration such as salaries to employees is calculated without discounting and is recognized as an expense when the related services are received. A provision is recognized for the anticipated cost of bonus payments and when the Group has a valid legal or informal duty to make such payments as a result of services received from employees and when the obligation can be reliably calculated.

Severance pay

A liability and expenses for severance pay are recognized at the earliest of the following times:

  • When the company can no longer withdraw the offer of such remuneration
  • When the company recognizes restructuring expenses that are within the scope of IAS 37 and encompass employee benefits.

When remuneration is provided to employees due to the employee having accepted an offer of remuneration in exchange for terminating employment, the time at which the company can no longer withdraw the offer of remuneration is the earliest of the following times:

  • When the employee accepts the offer, meaning signs a contract.
  • When a limit to the company's ability to withdraw the offer comes into effect.

Provisions

A provision differs from other liabilities since there is uncertainty regarding the date of payment and the amount for settling the provision. A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when there is an existing legal or informal obligation as a result of an event that has occurred, and it is probable that an outflow of financial resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The provision is posted in an amount that represents the best estimate of what will be required to settle the existing obligation on the balance-sheet date. Where the effect of when a payment is made is significant, provisions are

NOTE 2 cont.

calculated through the discounting of the anticipated future cash flow at an interest rate before tax that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, if applicable, the risks related to the liability.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is recognized when there is a possible commitment originating from events that have occurred and whose occurrence will be confirmed only by one or several uncertain future events or when there is a commitment that is not recognized as a liability or provision because it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required.

Parent Company accounting policies

The Parent Company has prepared its Annual Report in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The statements issued by the Financial Reporting Board for listed companies were also applied. RFR 2 entails that, in the Annual Report for the legal entity, the Parent Company is to apply all IFRS and statements adopted by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Pension Obligations Vesting Act and with respect to the relationship between accounting and taxation. The recommendation states the exemptions from and the additions to IFRS that are to be made.

Differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting policies

The differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting policies are described below.

Future changes to accounting policies

Unless otherwise stated below, the Parent Company's accounting policies were changed in 2018 in accordance with what is stated above for the Group.

Classification and presentation format

The Parent Company statement of profit/loss and statement of financial position have been prepared in accordance with the format stated in the Annual Accounts Act, while the consolidated statement of profit/loss, statement of profit/loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are based on IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. The differences compared with the consolidated financial statements that appear in the Parent Company's statement of profit/loss and statement of financial position primarily relate to the recognition of non-current assets and equity.

Subsidiaries

Participations in subsidiaries are recognized in the Parent Company according to the cost method. This means that transaction costs are included in the carrying amount for holdings in subsidiaries. Conditional purchase considerations are measured based on the probability of the purchase consideration being paid. Any changes to the provision/receivable adjust the cost.

Borrowing costs

In the Parent Company, borrowing costs are charged to profit or loss for the period to which they are attributable.

Group contributions

Group contributions that the Parent Company receives from subsidiaries or pays to subsidiaries are recognized as appropriations in the statement of profit/loss.

Financial guarantees

The Parent Company's financial guarantees primarily comprise guarantees for subsidiaries. Financial guarantees entail that the company has a commitment to reimburse the holder of a debt instrument for losses incurred by the holder due to a named debtor not making payment when due according to the contractual terms. The Parent Company applies an exception rule, compared with the IFRS 9 rules, for the recognition of financial guarantees, as approved by the Financial Reporting Board. This exception rule refers to financial guarantees issued for subsidiaries. The Parent Company recognizes financial guarantees as provisions in the statement of financial position when the company has a commitment for which payment will probably be required to settle it.

NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to various financial risks through its business activities. These are market, liquidity and credit risk attributable to financial instruments.

The company's finance policy states the mandate and guidelines for managing financial risks and capital management.

In order to minimize interest-rate and funding risks, the bullet points below act as guidelines for Nyfosa's finance policy:

  • The company's total loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 65 percent
  • The company's interest-payment capacity may not be lower than an interest-coverage multiple of 2
  • The company must have at least four main creditors
  • Not more than 25 percent of the loan liability may fall due for renegotiation during the same 12-month period
  • The average term for the loans may not be shorter than 1.5 years.

The basis for the company's choice of strategy for managing interest-rate risk comprises the choice of an interest-rate maturity strategy for the loans combined with a selection of derivative instruments to alter the interest-rate risk.

The financial risk limitations are continuously monitored by quarterly reports to the Board.

Surplus liquidity is to be invested in low-risk liquid assets until such time as the funds can be used for investments. Liquidity is only to be used for accelerated amortization if no investments or acquisitions are planned for the foreseeable future.

None of the companies in the Group itself are under any external capital requirements.

Interest-rate risk

Variations in market interest rates have a material impact on Nyfosa's earnings, meaning that managing interest-rate risk is a key part of the finance department's work.

For Nyfosa, interest-rate risk primarily pertains to the risk of excessively high interest expenses and thus lower earnings due to market interest rates. Interest-rate risk refers to the risk of choosing too high a percentage of fixed interest-rate periods in a scenario of falling rates or sustained low variable rates

The basis for the company's choice of strategy for managing interest-rate risk comprises the choice of an interest-rate maturity strategy for the loans combined with a selection of derivative instruments to alter the interest-rate risk.

The maturity structure of the loan portfolio, including derivative instruments, is to be a balance between short and long fixedrate periods. Expected interest expenses and risks as well as the company's prospects and financial trend are assessed in order to determine the strategy for managing interest-rate risk. The strategy chosen is to be described in the normal portfolio.

The normal portfolio is the maturity structure of the fixed-rate periods that has been chosen as a benchmark, taking into consideration the company's economic and financial position and risk appetite. The finance function continuously monitors the outcome of the company's actual loan portfolio in relation to the normal portfolio. The normal portfolio and intervals for maximum deviations and interest-rate risk mandates are stipulated in the finance policy.

Derivative instruments

In its risk management, Nyfosa may use derivative instruments linked to the underlying loan portfolio. Derivative instruments are used only as a tool for risk management.

The derivatives comprise interest-rate caps recognized as the present value of the expected flows during the remaining maturity of the position. The estimated flows are calculated by viewing the strike level and forward rates of 3-month STIBOR and their volatility. If the forward rates (or the volatility) decline, the value of the derivative will decrease.

1) The loans comprise undiscounted amounts. The interest-bearing liabilities in the statement of financial position include arrangement fees.

Liquidity and refinancing risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of not having sufficient payment capacity in the short and the long term to honor the Group's payment obligations. The finance department provides short-term liquidity forecasts on a week-by-week basis and also long-term rolling 12-month liquidity forecasts. The forecasts are updated continuously on a weekly and quarterly basis.

The Group has overdraft facilities to ensure flexible cash management and to effectively deal with peaks and troughs in payment streams. Refinancing risk is the risk that financing or refinancing of the company's liabilities or operations cannot be obtained to the same extent or can only be obtained at a significantly higher cost. According to the finance policy, existing and prospective financiers are engaged in continuous discussions to ensure that the necessary financing can be obtained in all situations.

NOTE 3 cont.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may be unable to fulfill its commitments, thus resulting in a loss. Nyfosa has a large number of leases and manages credit risk by applying the procedure of demanding advance payments from tenants and cash and cash equivalents only being deposited in accounts with Nordic banks and credit institutions that have a credit rating of at least A- (S&P) or A3 (Moody's).

Offsetting of financial instruments

To limit counterparty risk, Nyfosa has entered into standardized netting agreements (ISDA agreements) with all derivative counterparties, which entails that in the event of the counterparty becoming insolvent or another incident arising Nyfosa can offset outstanding derivatives with positive and negative values.

E ARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of earnings per share is based on profit for the year divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Nyfosa AB was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office on October 27, 2017 and thus did not have share capital for the entire comparative period. Since the number of shares up until November 6, 2018 has risen to 167,728,249 according to a resolution by the General Meeting, Nyfosa AB has chosen to use this number of shares for all periods presented.

Realized changes in value of divested properties 142 28
Unrealized changes in value of properties 658 348
Fair value at the end of the year 15,582 12,090

Realized and unrealized changes in value are recognized after profit from property management in profit or loss. The measurement of fair value for all investment properties is classified at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Determining fair value

The fair value of investment properties has been assessed by external, independent property appraisers, with relevant, professional qualifications and experience in the field as well as in the category of the properties that were appraised. The independent appraisers provide the fair value of the Group's portfolio of investment properties during each quarter.

Valuation techniques

The value of the properties has been assessed based on a marketadapted cash-flow estimate. The yield requirement used in the estimate derives from sales of comparable properties. The valuation was performed based on a combined location-price method, using reported benchmark purchases and the yield method, meaning a transaction-based method.

NOTE 13 cont.

Significant factors when selecting required returns include an assessment of the object's future rent trend, changes in value and any development potential as well as the maintenance condition of the property. Key value parameters are location and rent level, as well as vacancy rates. For each property, a cash flow forecast is prepared that extends at least five years into the future. The expected receipts match the terms of prevailing leases. For vacant spaces, an estimate is performed by individually assessing each property.

The expected disbursements are estimated on the basis of historical property expenses.

The inflation assumption in the valuation models on December 31, 2018 was 2.0 percent (2.0) for 2019 and the years ahead. The valuation is based on a present-value calculation of the estimated cash flow and the present value of the market value at the end of the calculation period. Ongoing projects have been measured according to the same policy but less the remaining investment.

Nyfosa has pledged assets for all loans in the form of property mortgages. In addition, the majority of the Group's credit agreements with creditors contain covenants concerning either a specific loanto-value ratio and/or a specific interest-coverage ratio. Certain credit agreements contain covenants that pertain solely to the company raising the loan and its subsidiaries, while other credit agreements include covenants linked to the Nyfosa Group's earnings and/or financial position. The Group met the covenants included in the loan agreements for 2018 and 2017.

NOTE 18

DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES/ASSETS

Nyfosa recognized deferred tax liabilities in 2018 totaling a net MSEK 452 (404). The amount is the net of deferred tax assets attributable to valued tax loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities attributable to temporary differences between carrying amounts and taxable values of the investment properties.

Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences between the tax values and the accounting values. The deferred tax that existed in connection with asset purchases is, however, not to be recognized in the statement of financial position on the acquisition date according to applicable rules, known as the initial recognition exemption.

The residual value of investment properties for tax purposes totaled MSEK 6,982 (5,261) on December 31, 2018.

The carrying amount of all financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of the fair value. This is because receivables and liabilities that are interest-bearing have short fixed-rate periods and, on the balance-sheet date, the level of interest rates, including margins, for the loans matched the terms in the loan agreements. Receivables and liabilities that do not bear interest have short maturities.

NOTE 21 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related-party transactions

The Group owns participations in joint ventures, refer to Note 14. Nyfosa is responsible for property management in Gothenburg and at seven smaller locations on behalf of Söderport. Property management fees are based on market terms. Nyfosa's fee amounts to MSEK 2 per year. The Group had no receivables from joint ventures on December 31, 2018.

In September, Nyfosa signed an agreement with Corner PP AB (C.P.P. AB) for the purchase of property-management services. Nyfosa's Head of Property Management owns 60 percent of C.P.P. AB. The agreement, which encompasses management of Nyfosa's property portfolio in northern Sweden, was signed based on market terms for MSEK 3 per year. The validity of the agreement is limited, starting on October 15, 2018 and expiring on June 30, 2019, with the option for Nyfosa to extend the agreement if a permanent solution for property management is not in place when the agreement expires.

Measurement of investment properties

For significant assumptions and assessments affecting the measurement of Nyfosa's investment properties, refer to Note 13. Nyfosa's property portfolio is recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value, and the changes in value are recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is based on internal valuations that are performed continuously and the properties are also valued every quarter by an external independent appraiser. The value of the properties is affected not only by supply and demand in the market but also by a number of other factors, in part property-specific factors such as the leasing rate, rent level and operating expenses, and in part such market-specific factors as the yield requirement and the cost of capital, which are derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Deterioration in either a property or the market could cause the value of the company's properties to decline, which could have a negative impact on the Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.

Valuations require assessments of and assumptions about future cash flows and determination of the discount factor (yield requirement). An uncertainty interval of +/- 5–10 percent is usually applied to property valuations to reflect the uncertainty of assumptions and assessments made.

Measurement of loss carryforwards

The regulatory framework governing taxation of the type of business operated by Nyfosa is complex and comprehensive in terms of both income tax and VAT/property taxation. Moreover, interpretation and application of these regulations by courts of law can change over time. Changes in these regulations, or in their interpretation by judicial bodies, could impact Nyfosa's earnings and position either positively or negatively. From time to time, Nyfosa has cases under review by, and ongoing dialogs with, the Swedish Tax Agency

regarding individual taxation matters. The Tax Agency makes tax rulings that can be appealed and reviewed in administrative courts of appeal. The regulations governing the recognition of taxes, and the property sector's application of these accounting regulations, are also complex. The regulatory framework is complex, the Tax Agency's review possibilities are comprehensive and the judicial bodies' interpretation and reviews take place in many stages, which means that it can take a long time to establish the correct application of legislation in complex taxation matters. This may entail that actions taken or completed transactions that were previously considered permissible according to the regulatory framework may need to be reappraised at a later juncture. Nyfosa monitors the taxation laws and practices that are in effect whenever it files tax returns. Nyfosa's assessments and calculations in the tax area, and the accounting of these matters, are reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Nyfosa had loss carryforwards from prior years. The Tax Agency decided in a review decision in 2018 not to grant the company full deductions for these loss carryforwards. The loss carryforwards that are the subject of these proceedings have been valued at MSEK 250 in this report, corresponding to 20.6 percent of the total disputed loss carryforwards of MSEK 1,215. Nyfosa has not reserved this amount since Nyfosa believes that it is overwhelmingly probable that the deduction claimed will be granted following a court ruling.

Classification of acquisitions

The IFRS 3 accounting standard states that acquisitions must be classified as business combinations or asset purchases. An individual assessment of the character of the acquisition is required for each individual transaction. Nyfosa's corporate acquisitions in 2018 encompass only properties and no material processes, which is why the transactions are deemed to be asset purchases.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the General Meeting of the shareholders of Nyfosa AB, corp. id 559131-0833

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

Opinions

We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of Nyfosa AB for the year 2018, except for the corporate governance statement on pages 44–51. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included on pages 44–51 and 53–83 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 31 December 2018 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 31 December 2018 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 44–51. 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 the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are consistent with the content of the additional report that has been submitted to the Parent Company's audit committee in accordance with the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 11.

Basis for opinions

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

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.

Valuation of Investment property

See Note 2 Significant accounting policies, Note 13 Investment property and Note 23 Important estimates and judgments on pages 67, 73–74 and 78 in the annual account and consolidated accounts for detailed information and description of the matter.

Description of key audit matter

Investment properties are held at fair value in the Groups financial statements. The carrying value of these properties is 15 588 MSEK as per 31 December 2018, which represents 90% of to the Groups total assets.

The fair value of Investment properties as per 31 December 2018 has been determined based on valuations carried out by independent valuers.

Given investment properties significant share of the Groups total assets and the significant judgment and estimates required in the valuation process, valuation of Investment properties is a Key Audit Matter.

The risk is that the carrying value of Investment properties could be over- or underestimated and that deviations would directly influence profit for the year.

Response in the audit

We have evaluated if the valuation methodology used is reasonable by comparing it to our experience of how other real estate companies and independent third party valuers work and which assumptions that are normal when valuing comparable objects.

We have assessed the competence and independece of third party valuers used and we have read the engagement letters of the idependent third party valuers with the aim to evaluate if there where contractual terms that could influence scope or focus of the independent third party valuers' engagement.

We have tested the controls established by the company to ensure that input data provided to the independent third party valuers are accurate and complete.

We have, on a sample basis, tested individual valuations. When doing so, we made use of available current market data from external sources, especially for yields, discount rates, rents and vacancies used.

We have checked the accuracy of disclosures on Investment properties given by the company in notes 2, 13 and 23 in the annual report, especially concerning elements of judgement and applied key assumptions

Acquisitions and disposals of property

See Note 2 Significant accounting policies, Note 13 Investment property and Note 23 Important estimates and judgments on pages 67, 73–74 and 78 in the annual account and consolidated accounts for detailed information and description of the matter.

Description of key audit matter

Nyfosa's total investment in properties in 2018 amounted to MSEK 4,117 of which MSEK 3,918 were acquisitions. Disposals amounted to MSEK 1,237.

The risks in relation to acquisitions and disposals primarily relates to the period in which a transaction is recognized, and if specific conditions in the specific transactions have not properly accounted for, which could have significant impact on the Group's reported profit and financial position.

Response in the audit

We have evaluated the processes for acquisitions and disposals of properties. For significant transactions, we have examined contracts, evaluating the period of recognition, agreed the purchase price and, where applicable, evaluated that any specific conditions have been accounted for properly.

We have evaluated the accuracy of the disclosures related to transactions given by the company in note 2, 13 and 23.

Valuation of deferred tax assets

See Note 2 Significant accounting policies, Note 11 Income taxes and Note 18 Deferred tax liabilities/assets and Note 23 Important estimates and judgments on pages 66, 73, 75–76 and 78 in the annual account and consolidated accounts for detailed information and description of the matter.

Description of key audit matter

The Group reported deferred tax assets of MSEK 305 related to tax loss carried forwards, expected to offset future profits.

The accounting of deferred tax assets is based on managements assumptions of the size and timing of future taxable profits as well as interpretation of tax regulations. The value of the deferred tax assets may vary significantly if other assumptions than those used by the company is applied when forecasting future profits and evaluating the possibility to use the tax loss carry forward.

The risk is that the carrying value of the deferred tax assets are over- or understated and that every adjustment of the value will have a direct impact on the reported profit and effective tax rate.

Other Information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

This document also contains other information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and is found on pages 1–43 and 88–96. 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.

Response in the audit

Our audit procedures within in this area included evaluation of policies applied and the integrity of the Group's model to forecast future taxable profits.We compared key inputs (such as rental income, operating costs, property management costs and investments) in the calculation to earnings capacity and we have considered the Group's ability to previously achieve these plans.

We have involved KPMGs tax specialists when evaluating the Group's assessments and interpretations of tax regulations and the reasonableness in the Group's assumptions of the ability to offset tax loss carry forwards against future profits.

We also evaluted if the disclosures in note 18 and 23 fulfills the requisits in related accounting standard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

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 accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director intend 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.

Auditor's responsibility

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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive 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.
  • Obtain an understanding of the company's internal control relevant to our audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's, use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. We also draw a conclusion, based on the audit evidence obtained, as to whether any material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion about the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company and a group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • 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, related safeguards.

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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Opinions

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 Nyfosa AB for the year 2018 and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss.

We recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated 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.

Basis for opinions

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.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

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.

Auditor's responsibility

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:

  • has undertaken any action or been guilty of any omission which can give rise to liability to the company, or
  • in any other way has acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

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 scepticism 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 auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement

The Board of Directors is responsible for that the corporate governance statement on pages 44–51 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 RevU 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.

KPMG AB, Box 382, 101 27, Stockholm, was appointed auditor of Nyfosa AB by the general meeting of the shareholders on 17 January 2018. KPMG AB or auditors operating at KPMG AB have been the company's auditor since 2017.
