Pandox is reporting strong earnings for the third quarter. The drivers behind the higher result are partly continued improvements in the hotel market with a higher growth rate in Property Management where, i.a., renovated hotels are coming back at full capacity and also contribute with increased market shares, and partly increased demand and good productivity in Operator Activities. Lower financing costs also contribute to the increase in earnings. Net operating income growth in the third quarter for comparable units in Property Management and Operator Activities was 10 and 12 percent respectively, which reflects a high-quality hotel portfolio, a strong market position and advanced operational excellence.

We now find ourselves in an interesting market phase where international markets and premium segments, which are at the front end of the hotel cycle, have improved their growth considerably and where the average price per sold room is increasing. The hotel cycle in general strengthened in the third quarter, which has had a positive effect on the entire Pandox hotel portfolio. With respect to individual locations that are key for Pandox, market growth in the third quarter, measured as RevPAR (revenue per available room) for Stockholm was 23 percent, Oslo 10 percent, Copenhagen 12 percent and Brussels 13 percent. Helsinki improved despite weak economic growth in the country. After a long period of falling or stable prices, we have seen a clear increase in the average room price in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. At the regional level in the Nordics, Pandox's growth was overall good as a result of an active business, conference and event market, and renovated hotels improving their market share.

In cooperation with Scandic 19 motels in Sweden, Denmark and Norway have undergone a radical upgrade incorporating a new design concept. They include well-known and classic hotels such as Kungens Kurva in Stockholm, Klarälven in Karlstad, Backadal in Gothenburg and Elmia in Jönköping. The project was concluded in 2014 and the hotels have received a very positive reception in the market. Growth in rental income for these hotels was very good in the third quarter, which illustrates Pandox's ability to work in cooperation with a strong, longterm tenant to identify and implement value-generating development projects which result in increased cash flow for both parties.

Pandox's portfolio today consists of 104 hotel properties. Close to 80 percent of the portfolio's market value consists of hotels with long leases with the best operators and brands in the sector. Pandox's aim is to increase cash flow –property by property – and to ensure that the properties grow in value, enabling new investments and supporting the Company's continued expansion. Pandox's investment strategy is well tested and includes different types of investments: (1) portfolio acquisitions with associated restructuring and development; (2) individual hotel acquisitions; (3) lease extensions with associated investments; and (4) taking over operation and improving the market position of hotels. We are constantly working on developing our portfolio in an ongoing dialogue with tenants, partners and other stakeholders aimed at creating a better hotel product and stronger cash flow. This is good for Pandox, our tenants and naturally for the hotel guests as well.

We reiterate our outlook from the second quarter to grow cash earnings, excluding one-time items, in 2015 compared to 2014.

Pandox is one of Europe's leading hotel property companies, with a geographical focus on Northern Europe. Pandox's strategy is to own sizeable full-service hotels with strategic locations in key leisure and corporate destinations. Pandox is an active owner with a business model based on long term lease agreements with the best operators in the market. But if these conditions are missing, Pandox has long experience of running hotel operations on its own. This creates business opportunities across the hotel value chain.

At the end of the third quarter 2015, Pandox's hotel property portfolio comprised 104 hotels with a total of 21,971 hotel rooms in eight countries, with a market value of about MSEK 27,700. Of the 104 hotels, 87 were leased on a long-term basis to well-known tenants with established brands providing income stability, lower capital expenditure and risk for Pandox. For Investment properties the weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) was 8.7 years. The remaining 17 hotels were owned and operated by Pandox.

In addition, Pandox had asset management agreements for 9 hotels, and operates one additional hotel under a long-term lease agreement.

  • Large, high quality portfolio of premier hotel properties in strategic cities
  • Geographical diversification which provides opportunity for diversification over the business cycle
  • Income stability from renowned tenant base with long leases
  • Focus on solid economies and ability to capture market growth
  • Tangible organic growth from refurbishment and repositioning of hotels
  • Attractive yield, resilient cash flow generation and potential for lower interest cost
  • Active ownership, which drives value and creates optionality

  • Dividend policy Pandox will target a dividend pay-out ratio of between 40 and 60 percent of cash earnings1 , with an average payout ratio over time of approximately 50 percent. Future dividends and the size of any such dividends are dependent on Pandox's future performance, financial position, cash flows, working capital requirements, investment plans and other factors.

  • Capital structure Pandox will target a debt ratio (loan-to-value2) between 45 and 60 percent, depending on the market environment and prevailing opportunities.

1Defined as EBITDA plus financial income less financial cost less current tax.

2Defined as interest bearing liabilities divided by the sum of property market value of Investment properties and Operating properties.

Hotel market development

Upswing on a broad front in the third quarter

The hotel markets in Europe in general experienced an upswing on a broad front in the third quarter, driven by a strong increase in demand from the leisure segment during the holiday months of July and August, and by a strong business travel month in September. Renewed concern over the global economy as a result of slower growth in China and other growth nations was not reflected in the outcome for the third quarter, and demand for travel and hotel stays from the Chinese travel market has continued to grow. There was continued variation in the macroeconomic growth situation for the Nordic countries, with the Danish and above all the Swedish economy experiencing a positive trend. Development in Norway and Finland remained more subdued.

1Pandox does not have any direct business exposure to these markets but they are important for the overall assessment of the global hotel market.

Growth trend in North America sustained

In the US and Canada growth for the third quarter's RevPAR amounted to 6 percent for both countries. The strong trend in the US market since 2011 is continuing and analysts are expecting RevPAR growth of 6-7 percent for both this year and in 2016, partly due to anticipated limited new hotel room capacity in the country. Parts of Canada which are heavily dependent on the oil industry saw a decline in the third quarter, while the larger cities showed healthy growth numbers driven by both improved average prices and increased demand. A stronger dollar, higher employment figures and sustained improvement in the US economy are expected to have a positive effect on the amount of US international travel, which is important for Canada and key markets in Europe.

Positive trend in Europe and the Nordic region

The hotel markets in Europe experienced a positive trend for the quarter with RevPAR growth of 10 percent. The total growth for the January to September period amounted to 8 percent. The Nordic hotel market in general had a very strong third quarter with high growth numbers in the majority of large cities and regional towns due to strong demand from the leisure segment in July and August, with a partial explanation being inclement weather, particularly in July. In Stockholm RevPAR increased by 23 percent for the quarter and, in addition to the strong summer, the business and conference market was good in September. Oslo and Copenhagen experienced growth of 10 and 12 percent respectively in the quarter. Despite weak economic growth in general in Finland, the hotel market in Helsinki experienced good growth (+6 percent) after two quarters of decline.

Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 458 (380), an increase of 20.5 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of SEK 60 million relating to mediation with Nordic Hospitality Group AS; the increase was 4.7 percent. The whole period was affected by the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel to the Operating Properties segment. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 9.9 percent. The drivers for the revenue increase are mainly continued improvements in the hotel market and renovated hotels increasing their market share. The takeover of operation of Hotel Prince Philip was concluded 1 October and did not affect the quarter.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 534 (401), an increase of 33.2 percent, including revenue from Grand Hotel Oslo and revenue from the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel Kista and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 5.4 percent and RevPAR by 7.2 percent, supported by a stronger market as well as recently renovated and repositioned hotels increasing their market share.

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 992 (781), an increase of 27.0 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net sales increased by 7.5 percent.

Net operating income from Property Management, which corresponds to gross profit, amounted to MSEK 403 (310), an increase of 30.0 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of SEK 60 million, the increase was 10.6 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 9.8 percent. The increase is explained by better conditions on the hotel market, higher rents, lower property costs and renovated hotel properties increasing their market share.

Net operating income from Operator Activities, which corresponds to gross profit plus depreciation included in Operator Activities costs, amounted to MSEK 115 (88), an increase of 30.7 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 12.3 percent. The increase is mainly explained by increased demand, renovated and repositioned hotels increasing their market share, good productivity development and, to a certain extent, gross profit from reclassified operations.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK –23 (–21). In general the increase reflects a strengthening of Group-wide functions, including the cost of the Company's long-term incentive scheme.

EBITDA (gross earnings plus depreciation included in Operator Activities' costs, less central administration costs, excluding depreciation) amounted to MSEK 495 (377), an increase of 31.3 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of SEK 60 million, the increase was 15.4 percent and reflects improved underlying net operating income for both Property Management and Operator Activities.

Financial expenses amounted to MSEK –106 (–120), a reduction of MSEK 14, which is explained by lower net interest-bearing debt and lower interest rates.

Profit before changes in value including one-time items amounted to MSEK 355 (237), an increase of 49.8 percent.

Unrealised changes in value for Investment properties amounted to MSEK 232 (177). The increase is explained by a combination of yield compression in many markets, resulting in decreased valuation yields and thereby lower discount rates in Investment property valuations, and higher underlying cash flows in Pandox's property portfolio.

On 29 September 2015 Pandox signed an agreement for the sale of the hotel property Scandic Antwerp with an underlying property value equivalent to MSEK 151, representing a current valuation. The divestment did not have any impact of the period's profits. The transaction will be completed and exit will take place on December 1, 2015.

Changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK –73 (–110), after a decrease in market interest rates compared to the fixed rate on interest swaps.

Current tax amounted to MSEK 17 (1), including compensation for a past tax expense equivalent to MSEK 19 relating to Germany. Current tax was affected by, among other things, deductible depreciation and investments as well as loss carry-forwards from previous years. Deferred tax expense amounted to MSEK –106 (–65).

Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 425 (240), which represents SEK 2.83 (1.60) per share before and after full dilution.

Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 407 (259), an increase of MSEK 57.1. Adjusted for one-time revenue and compensation for a past tax expense, cash earnings increased by 26.6 percent.

Revenue from Property Management totalled MSEK 1,178 (1,119), which is equivalent to an increase of 5.3 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of MSEK 60 for mediation, the revenue was unchanged, despite the divestment of 15 hotel properties in April 2014 and the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel Kista and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel in June 2015. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 6.8 percent. The takeover of operation of Hotel Prince Philip was concluded 1 October 2015 and did not affect the period.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 1,510 (1,153), an increase of 31.0 percent, including revenue from Grand Hotel Oslo for seven months and revenue from the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel Kista and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel for four months. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 7.6 percent and RevPAR by 9.0 percent.

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 2,688 (2,272), an increase of 18.3 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net sales increased by 7.2 percent.

Net operating income from Property Management, which corresponds to gross profit, amounted to MSEK 974 (897), an increase of 8.6 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of SEK 60 million, net operating income increased by 1.9 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 6.9 percent, which reflects lower property costs, and good underlying development in the markets and portfolio.

Net operating income from Operator Activities, which corresponds to gross profit plus depreciation included in Operator Activities' costs, amounted to MSEK 312 (239), an increase of 30.5 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 19.9 percent. The increase is mainly explained by increased demand in the market and gradual improvement in average prices, renovated and repositioned hotels increasing their market share, good productivity development and, to a certain extent, gross profits from reclassified operations.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK –64 (–53). The increase mainly reflects a strengthening of Group-wide functions, including the cost of the Company's long-term incentive scheme.

EBITDA (gross earnings plus depreciation included in Operator Activities' costs, less central administration costs, excluding depreciation) amounted to MSEK 1,223 (1,083), an increase of 12.9 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue of SEK 60 million, the increase was 7.4 percent and reflects improved underlying net operating income for both Property Management and Operator Activities. The basis for comparison was affected by the divestment of 15 investment properties in April 2014 by four months.

Financial expenses amounted to MSEK –335 (–408) a reduction of MSEK 73, which is explained by the repayment of interest-bearing liabilities following the divestment of 15 investment properties in April last year, and lower interest rates.

Profit before changes in value including one-time items amounted to MSEK 791 (605), an increase of 30.7 percent.

Unrealised changes in value for Investment properties amounted to MSEK 903 (755). The increase is explained by a combination of yield compression in many markets resulting in decreased valuation yields and thereby lower discount rates in the valuation of Investment properties, and strong underlying cash flows in Pandox's property portfolio.

Realised changes in value for Investment properties amounted to MSEK 8 and are explained by final settlement of the consideration for the divestment of Hilton London Docklands in April 2014.

On 29 September 2015 Pandox signed an agreement for the sale of the hotel property Scandic Antwerp with an underlying property value equivalent to MSEK 151, representing the most current valuation. The divestment did not have any impact of the period's profits. The transaction will be completed and exit will take place on December 1, 2015.

Changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK 110 (–454).

Current tax amounted to MSEK 7 (0), including compensation for past tax expense equivalent to MSEK 19 relating to Germany in the third quarter. Current tax was affected by, among other things, deductible depreciation and investments, as well as loss carry-forwards from previous years. Accordingly, current tax is expected to be low for the full year. Deferred tax expense amounted to MSEK –369 (–69).

Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 1,450 (1,128), which corresponds to SEK 9.66 (7.52) per share before and after full dilution.

Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 896 (679), an increase of MSEK 32.0. Adjusted for one-time revenue and compensation for a past tax expense, cash earnings for the third quarter of 2015 increased by 20.3 percent. This is despite the divestment of 15 hotel properties in April 2014.

Pandox's business is organised into Property Management, which comprises 87 Investment properties owned by Pandox and leased on a long-term basis to market leading regional hotel operators and leading international operators, and Operator Activities, which comprises 17 Operating properties owned by Pandox, in which Pandox executes hotel operations.

Each segment is further divided into the five geographic areas: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and International. For full segment reporting please see page 32.

In addition, Pandox has external asset management agreements for nine hotels, of which eight (in Oslo) are reported under Property Management, and one asset management agreement (the Pelican Bay Resort in the Grand Bahama Island) is reported under Operator Activities. In the third quarter, revenues and EBITDA for the eight external asset management agreements in Oslo, amounted to MSEK 0.8 (0) and MSEK 0.1 (0) respectively.

Furthermore, Pandox operates Grand Hotel Oslo under a long-term lease agreement with an external relatedparty property owner. This is reported under Operator Activities.

Rental income and other property income amounted to MSEK 458 (380), of which MSEK 60 consists of one-time revenue for mediation, which is reported under other property income.

The comparison is affected by the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel to Operating Properties in June 2015.

Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, rental income increased by 9.9 percent as a result of good underlying growth in the hotel market and recently renovated hotels increasing their market share, particularly those under the joint development program with Scandic (the Shark project).

Reported net operating income after property administration increased by 30.0 percent. Adjusted for one-time revenue, the net operating income after property administration amounted to MSEK 343 (310) and net operating income before property administration to MSEK 362 (326).

Adjusted for one-time revenue, currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 9.8 percent, mainly as a result of higher rental income.

Investment properties comprises 87 properties which are recognised at market value. On 30 September 2015 investment properties had a weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of 8.7 years (31 December 2014: 9.0). The lease maturity profile has staggered expirations. In 2022 a larger number of leases, compared with other years, will expire as an effect of a previous sizable portfolio acquisition.

1Pandox's leases are primarily linked to hotel revenue and generally contain a minimum guaranteed rent that provides both operational upside and downside protection in the event the development of the hotel operator should be weaker.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 534 (401), an increase of 33.2 percent, and net operating income amounted to MSEK 115 (88), an increase of 30.7 percent. Grand Hotel Oslo, which Pandox has been operating under a long-term lease agreement with an external related-party property owner since 1 March 2015, and Mr Chip Hotel Kista and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel are included for the whole period. Revenue from Grand Hotel Oslo amounted to MSEK 57 (0).

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 5.4 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 12.3 percent.

The increased revenue is explained by a stronger hotel market in general terms and renovated hotels coming back to the market. In addition are revenues from Grand Hotel Oslo, which is a pure operator's business without any property ownership, at a lower operating margin. The net operating income was positively affected by higher activity levels, mainly due to increased demand and therefore higher occupancy, and by continued productivity gains in hotel operations in general and positive development for The Hotel Brussels, Hyatt Regency Montreal and Radisson Blu Dortmund.

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, RevPAR increased by 7.2 percent, mainly due to improved occupancy but also due to a greater extent to improved average room rates.

Operating Properties comprises 17 hotel properties which Pandox owns and operates. These hotels are recognised at cost less depreciation and any impairment.

Property portfolio

At the end of the period, Pandox's property portfolio comprised 104 (31 December, 2014: 104) hotel properties with 21,971 (December 31, 2014: 21,969) hotel rooms in eight countries. The Company's main geographical focus, which represents around 77 percent of the portfolio by market value, is the Nordics. Of the owned hotel properties, 87 are leased to third parties, which means that around 77 percent of the portfolio market value is covered by external leases. These are reported in the Property Management segment. The remaining 17 hotels are owned and operated by Pandox and are reported in the Operator Activities segment.

The majority of Pandox's tenant base consists of well-known hotel operators with strong hotel brands in their respective markets. The tenants are both Nordic-oriented hotel operators, such as Scandic (the largest hotel operator in the Nordics with more than 200 hotels), Nordic Choice, and the Swedish hotel operator Elite Hotels, and more globally-oriented operators such as Rezidor (part of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group) and Hilton.

At the end of the period, the total market value of Pandox's property portfolio was MSEK 27,712 (26,504), of which MSEK 21,337 (20,843) was attributable to Investment properties and MSEK 6,375 (5,661) to Operating properties. The market value of Operating properties is reported for information purposes only.

No reclassification took place in the third quarter. The takeover of operation of Hotel Prince Philip was concluded 1 October 2015.

Operating properties are recognised at cost less depreciation and any impairment. At the end of the period, the carrying amount of Operating properties was MSEK 5,100 (4,858). The increase is mainly the result of the reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel Kista and Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel in the second quarter.

At the end of the period, the average valuation yield on Pandox's Investment properties amounted to 5.9 percent (31 December, 2014: 6.1), and for Operating properties it was 7.6 percent (31 December, 2014: 7.9).

During the period January – September investments in the existing portfolio, excluding acquisitions, amounted to MSEK 234 (388), of which MSEK 134 (280) was for Investment properties and MSEK 100 (108) was for Operating properties, including MSEK 3 for Grand Hotel Oslo.

The decrease in investments is mainly explained by the fact that the Shark project with Scandic is coming to an end, but also that several other larger projects were concluded in 2014.

At the end of the period investments had been approved for future projects in an amount corresponding to approximately MSEK 550. Ongoing major investment projects include Hilton Helsinki Strand, Hotel Berlin Berlin, Quality Ekoxen Linköping, InterContinental Montreal and Radisson Blu Lillehammer.

On 29 September 2015 Pandox signed an agreement for the sale of the hotel property Scandic Antwerp with an underlying property value of MEUR 16 (equivalent to MSEK 151), representing the most current valuation.

Pandox performs internal valuations of its hotel property portfolio and Investment properties are recognised at fair value in accordance with accounting standard IAS 40. Operating properties are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The market value of Operating properties is reported for information purposes only.

In addition, all properties are valued by external professional property appraisers who are independent of Pandox, and their assumptions and values form an important element in the assessment of the internal valuations.

The valuation model consists of an accepted and proven cash flow model, where the future cash flows the hotel properties are expected to generate are discounted. The valuation is based on the business plan for the hotel concerned, which is updated at least twice a year and takes into consideration, among other things, developments in the underlying operator activities, market developments, the contract situation, operating and maintenance issues and investments aimed at maximizing the hotel property's cash flow and return in the long term.

External valuations of all properties are carried out annually by independent property appraisers. The external appraisers complete a more in-depth inspection at least every three years or in conjunction with major changes to the properties. The external valuations provide an important reference point for Pandox's internal valuations.

In the third quarter Pandox had external valuations performed on a quarter of the properties in its portfolio. The external valuation results are in line with and confirm Pandox's internal valuations.

Investment properties and Operating properties are recognised at market value and cost respectively, and valuation changes for Investment properties are accounted for in the income statement.

At the end of the period the loan-to-value ratio was 46.4 percent (48.7). Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 11,546 (10,402) and the net asset value (NAV) as defined by EPRA was MSEK 15,668 (13,816). EPRA NAV per share was SEK 104.45 (92.11). Liquid funds, including long-term credit facilities amounted to MSEK 2,051 (1,901).

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 12,860 (12,908). The average fixed rate period was 3.3 (3.8) years and the average interest rate, corresponding to the interest rate level at the end of the period, was 3.2 (3.6) percent, including effects from interest-rate swaps. The average repayment period was 3.5 (4.6) years. The loans are secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares.

Unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 1,415 (1,581).

In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives, mainly interest swaps, are used. At the end of the period Pandox had interest rate swaps amounting to MSEK 9,339 and 61.4 percent of Pandox's loan portfolio was hedged against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year.

In order to reduce the currency exposure in foreign investment Pandox's main objective is to finance the applicable portion of the investment in local currency. Equity is normally not hedged as Pandox strategy is to have a long investment perspective. Currency effects are largely in form of translation effects.

As of 30 September 2015, the market value for Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK –790 (–900), which is explained by a decrease in the market rates in relation to the fixed interest in the interest swap agreements. Falling market rates in the third quarter led to a remeasurement which impacted profits in the amount of MSEK –73 (–110).

Refinancing of remaining loans maturing in 2015 was concluded in October. The loan (MSEK 188) has been extended for four years and includes an increase of MSEK 47 of the loan amount.

At the end of the period, deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 865 (924). These represent tax loss carryforwards which the Company expects to be able to use in upcoming fiscal years, and temporary measurement differences on interest-rate derivatives.

The deferred tax liabilities amounted to MSEK 2,310 (1,993). The increase is primarily due to an increased market value for investment properties.

Pandox has no outstanding tax-related cases.

Based on continued improvements in the general economic climate and a positive trend in the travel market, Pandox's strong market position and portfolio – which benefit from increased operator activity – as well as continued low interest rates, we expect to be able to grow cash earnings, excluding one-time revenue, further in 2015 compared to 2014. This is supported by development during the first nine months of 2015 when Pandox's cash earnings increased, excluding one-time items, by MSEK 138, compared to the first nine months of 2014, despite the divestment of 15 hotel properties in April 2014.

On 29 September 2015 it was announced that an agreement had been signed for the divestment of the hotel property Scandic Antwerp in Belgium for MEUR 16 to the hotel chain Van Der Valk in the Netherlands. The amount is in line with the most recent valuation. Pandox will receive payment of MEUR 13.6 after deduction for deferred tax. The transaction will be completed and exit will take place on 1 December, 2015.

On 21 September it was announced that Camilla Weiner had been appointed as the new Head of Investor Relations. Camilla is a member of Pandox's Executive Management and reports to the Company's CFO Liia Nõu.

On 10 August Pandox announced that it will take over operation of Quality Hotel Prince Philip in Skärholmen, Sweden, as of 1 September 2015. The takeover was postponed until 1 October 2015. The hotel, which has 208 rooms, will be included in the Property Management segment until the end of the third quarter of 2015.

On 2 July it was announced that, in connection with the offering and listing of the Company's B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, ABG Sundal Collier has exercised the over-allotment option for 7,826,086 shares in Pandox on behalf of Managers. No price stabilisation measures had been implemented since the listing, and taking into account the Company's share price trend, ABG Sundal Collier, as the stabilising manager on behalf of Manager, decided to end the stabilisation period.

On 27 October it was announced that the Board had invited the shareholders in Pandox Aktiebolag (publ) to attend an extraordinary shareholders' meeting at 1.30 p.m. on 23 November 2015 at Hilton Stockholm Slussen, Guldgränd 8, 104 65 Stockholm, to elect Ann-Sofie Danielsson to replace board member Christian Sundt.

On 8 October it was announced that the Nominating Committee had been appointed for the 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM) in accordance with principles adopted by the AGM. The Nominating Committee consists of: Anders Ryssdal (Chairman), Christian Ringnes, Lars-Åke Bokenberger, Marianne Flink and Johannes Wingborg.

As of 30 September 2015, Pandox had 1,757 (1,594) employees. Of the total employees, 1,730 (1,566) are employed in the segment Operator Activities and 27 (28) are employed in the segment Property Management, and central administration.

Property activities in the Pandox's property owning companies are administered by staff employed by the Parent Company, Pandox AB (publ). The costs of these services are invoiced to Pandox's subsidiaries. Invoicing during the period January-September amounted to MSEK 41 (42), and the profit for the period amounted to MSEK 477 (733).

At the end of the period the Parent Company's shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 2,747 (2,420) and interest bearing debt of MSEK 4,762 (4,592), of which MSEK 4,381 (3,655) in the form of long-term debt.

The Parent Company carries out transactions with subsidiaries in the Group. Such transactions mainly entail allocation of centrally incurred administrational costs and interest expenses relating to receivables and liabilities. All related party transactions are entered into on market terms.

Pandox has entered into nine asset management agreements, regarding eight hotels located in Oslo and the Pelican Bay Lucaya resort in the Grand Bahama Island, which are owned by Eiendomsspar AS, subsidiaries of Eiendomsspar AS and affiliates of Helene Sundt AS and CGS Holding AS respectively. During the third quarter revenue from the asset management agreements amounted to MSEK 0.9 (0). As of March 1, 2015, Pandox operates Grand Hotel Oslo under a long-term lease agreement with the property owner Eiendomsspar AS. During the third quarter rental payments for Grand Hotel Oslo amounted to MSEK 15 (0).

Pandox follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) - and interpretations (IFRIC) - as they have been adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR2 "Accounting principles for legal entities". RFR2 implies that the Parent Company of the legal entity applies all EU approved IFRS principles and interpretations, within the framework defined by the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and taking into consideration the connection between accounting and taxation. The transition to RFR2 for the Parent Company has not resulted in any material effects. The differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting principles are described on page 36.

Accounting principles and methods for calculations have changed compared with the Annual Report of the previous year following a conversion of accounts from Swedish GAAP to IFRS.

The effects of the transition to IFRS are described in the prospectus that was published in connection with the public offering to acquire B shares in the company. The prospectus also outlines the accounting principles used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

At the end of the period, the total number of undiluted and diluted shares outstanding amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 75,000,000 B shares. For a fair comparison this number of shares is used for the calculation of also historical key ratios.

Pandox seeks to achieve the lowest possible financing costs while simultaneously limiting risks related to interest rates, foreign currencies and borrowings.

Pandox seeks to manage the risk that changes in interest rate levels could negatively affect Pandox's results. Pandox's objective is that interest rate exposure is managed so that increased costs as a result of reasonable changes in interest rates are compensated through higher revenues. Pandox seeks to achieve this objective through maintaining a loan portfolio with varying maturity dates and fixed interest periods.

Further, Pandox has developed and implemented systems and procedures designed to support continuous monitoring and reporting of interest rate exposures. Pandox enters into interest-rate swaps to obtain fixed interest periods.

Pandox's balance sheet and income statement are exposed to changes in the value of the Swedish Krona, as certain of Pandox's assets are denominated in foreign currencies. Pandox seeks to hedge a part of this exposure through entering into loans in the local currency where Pandox's assets are located.

Pandox seeks to manage the risk that external financing may become more difficult to access. Pandox aims to centralise, where possible, all Group borrowing in the Parent Company in order to gain flexibility and administrative benefits. Pandox's objective is to enter into long-term framework agreements that would allow for borrowings with various maturities.

Pandox's business and market are subject to certain risks which are completely or partly outside the control of the Company and which could affect Pandox's business, financial condition and results of operations. These direct and indirect risks are the same for the Group and the Parent Company, with the exception that the Parent Company does not engage directly in hotel operations. Risks are the same both on a short and long term basis.

Risk factors include, among others, the main following sector risks and risks related to the operations: (1) The value of Pandox's assets is exposed to macroeconomic fluctuations and the liquidity in the property market could decline. (2) Pandox is subject to risks in its business of repositioning and transforming hotel properties. (3) Pandox's costs of maintaining, replacing and improving its existing properties could be higher than estimated. (4) Pandox might be unable to identify and acquire suitable hotel properties. (5) Pandox may from time to time carry out acquisitions of new hotel properties, all of which are subject to risks. (6) Pandox may be unable to retain, and recruit, key personnel in the future. (7) Pandox depends on third party operators' reputation, brand, ability to run their businesses successfully and financial condition. (8) Pandox is exposed to environmental risks. (9) Pandox is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. (10) Pandox is exposed to the risk of being unable to refinance its facility agreements when they fall due. (11) Pandox is subject to certain risks common to the hotel industry, which are beyond the Company's control. (12) The hotel industry is characterised by intense competition and Pandox may be unable to compete effectively in the future. (13) New business models may enter the hotel industry. (14) The growth of Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) could materially and adversely affect Pandox's business and profitability.

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. The periods during which the Company's properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property, depending principally upon location and the customer base served. Since the majority of the customers that stay at Pandox owned or operated hotels are business travelers, the Company's total revenues have historically been greater, particularly in the second and to some degree in the fourth quarter than in the first and third quarter. The timing of holidays and major events can also impact the Company's quarterly results.

Pandox AB (publ) is a Swedish limited liability company (corporate ID 556030-7885) with its registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. Pandox was formed in 1995 and the company's B shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 18 June 2015.

This report contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties as various factors, many of which are beyond the control of Pandox AB's (publ), may cause actual developments and results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in this report.

The report has been translated from Swedish. The Swedish text shall govern for all purposes and prevail in the event of any discrepancy.

Pandox AB (publ) is required to publish this information under the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication on 5 November 2015 at 07:00 CET.

To the Board of Directors of Pandox AB (publ)

Corp. id. 556030-7885

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) of Pandox AB (publ) as of 30 September 2015 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Notes

Note 1 Operating segments

Pandox's segments consist of the Property Management and Operator Activities business streams. The Property Management segment owns, improves and manages hotel properties and provides external customers with premises for hotel operations, as well as other types of premises adjacent to hotel properties. The Property Management segment also includes eight asset management contracts for externally owned hotel properties. The Operator Activities segment owns hotel properties and operates hotels in such owned properties. The Operator Activities segment also includes one hotel operated under a long-term lease agreement and one hotel property under an asset management agreement. Non-allocated items are any items that are not attributable to a specific segment or are common to all. The segments have been established based on the reporting that takes place internally to executive management on financial outcomes and position. Segment reporting applies the same accounting principles as those used in the annual report in general, and the amounts reported for the segments are the same as those for the Group. Material transactions between the segments consist of internal interestbearing loans. There are no internal sales between the segments. Scandic Hotels and Nordic Choice Hotels are tenants who account for more than 10 per cent of revenues. Year to date 2015, rental income from Scandic Hotels amounted to MSEK 605 (574) and rental income from Nordic Choice Hotels amounted to MSEK140 (144), corresponding to 58.1 (55.4) and 13.4 (13.9) percent respectively of total hotel rental income.

The differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting principles are described below. The accounting principles described below for the Parent Company have been applied consistently in all periods presented in the Parent Company's financial statements.

The Parent Company's interim report includes an income statement and balance sheet in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL). They are presented according to the presentation schedule in ÅRL. The differences between the Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet and the Group's financial statements mainly relate to reporting of financial income and expense, non-current assets, equity, and provisions as a separate heading in the balance sheet.

The Parent Company recognises participations in subsidiaries according to the cost method, whereby transaction expenses are included in the carrying amounts of holdings in subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements transaction expenses attributable to subsidiaries are recognised directly through profit or loss as they arise.

Contingent consideration is measured based on the likelihood that the consideration will be paid. Any changes in provisions/receivables are added to/subtracted from cost. In the consolidated accounts contingent consideration is recognised at fair value with changes in value recognised through profit or loss.

Due to the connection between reporting and taxation, the rules for financial instruments and hedge accounting in IAS 39 are not applied for the Parent Company as a legal entity.

The Parent Company's financial non-current assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses, and financial current assets are measured according to the lowest cost principle. The cost of interest-bearing instruments is adjusted for the accrued difference between the amount originally paid after deducting transaction costs and the amount paid on the maturity date (premium or discount).

Interest-rate swaps that effectively hedge cash-flow risk in interest payments on liabilities are measured net of the accrued receivable for variable interest and accrued liability for fixed interest. The difference is recognised as interest expense or interest income. Hedging is effective if the financial substance of the hedge and the liability are the same as if the liability had instead been recognised at a fixed market interest rate when the hedging relationship was entered into. Any premium paid for the swap agreement is accrued as interest over the term of the agreement.

Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are reported in cases where the Parent Company has the sole right to determine the size of the dividend and the Parent Company has taken a decision on the size of the dividend before publishing its financial statements.

The Parent Company does not report segments with the same breakdown and to the same extent as the Group, but instead discloses the breakdown of net sales by the Parent Company's business streams.

Property, plant and equipment for the Parent Company is recognised at cost after deduction for accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses in the same way as for the Group but with the addition of any appreciation.

The Parent Company recognises all leases according to the rules for operating leases.

Group contributions made/received to/from subsidiaries are recognised as year-end appropriations. Group contributions made/received to/from SU-ES AB are charged or credited directly to equity as paid dividend or received shareholders' contribution, reflecting the true economic nature of the transaction.
