Pandox reports good underlying growth and stable growth in earnings in the first quarter. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 1 percent despite Easter falling in March this year, which meant that the first quarter had one business travel week fewer than last year, and despite the negative effect of the tragic terrorist attacks in Brussels at the end of March. The driving forces were continued positive development of the hotel market and renovated hotels that returned to full capacity and gained market shares. Property Management benefited from rising demand and higher average room rates. Pandox's acquisition and partnership with Leonardo Hotels in Germany developed as planned and earnings by the hotels developed well in the quarter. Operator Activities were negatively affected by Easter and by the terrorist attacks in Brussels.

At the time of the terrorist attacks in Brussels on 22 March, the booking situation had adjusted to a more normal pattern and revenues from the hotels operated by Pandox itself in Brussels had increased by approximately 2 percent compared with the same period last year.

The terrorist attacks occurred at the end of the quarter, which limited the negative effects on revenues and net operating income from Operator Activities to approximately MSEK 11 and approximately MSEK 7 respectively in the first quarter. Including the effect in the first quarter, the total negative effect on net operating income for full-year 2016 is estimated to approximately MSEK 40. The majority of the remaining effect is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016.

Growth in the majority of Pandox's key markets was positive in the first quarter, despite a negative calendar effect. The European hotel market is generally stable, but certain external analyses indicate that the international inbound market could soften somewhat because of the perceived security situation in Europe. However, we have not seen this materialise. In this context, Pandox's good geographical diversification is a strength. Demand in domestic and regional markets remained good and stable increases in RevPAR were recorded in most of Pandox's key markets, such as Berlin with 6 percent, Helsinki with 6 percent, Montreal with 5 percent and Stockholm with 4 percent. The RevPAR increase in the quarter is explained by a combination of increased occupancy rates and rising average room rates. In terms of Pandox's main individual markets, Brussels is currently the weakest for natural reasons. However, it is a market well placed for a stable recovery.

As part of the restructuring and consolidation of the Nordic hotel market, in its Operator Activities, Pandox has in a relatively short time taken over the operation of four hotels in Norway and Sweden, and has entered into agreements to take over a further two hotels. These takeovers are a natural part of Pandox's strategy to be active and take the position in the value chain that benefits the company most if the conditions are not in place for a profitable leasebased relationship. With an in-depth knowledge of both hotel operations and hotel properties, Pandox can choose to run the hotel operations itself – thereby ensuring the quality of the hotel properties and their long-term value growth.

In order for a hotel taken over to reach its full potential the business, in most cases, needs to be revitalised through a combination of initiatives and investments in brand, management/organisation and product development. It is an improvement process that usually takes around 18 months before the full results are seen. The latest hotels taken over are already being run under our own and external brands that better match demand and the hotels' desired market position. In Norway, for example, Fagernes and (from 28 May 2016) Kristiansand are being operated under the Thon Hotels brand, while the Hotel Prince Philip in Sweden is being operated under the Best Western PLUS brand.

All the hotels are good examples of Pandox's ability to exploit opportunities throughout the value chain and thereby create opportunities for growth and minimise risk. By taking over and developing underperforming hotels, Pandox is laying the foundation for a higher riskadjusted return over time.

With a geographically well-diversified portfolio of high quality hotel properties, Pandox is in a strong position in a growing hotel market, creating the conditions for good long-term growth in cash earnings.

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 in the upper-mid to high-end segment 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 first quarter 2016, Pandox's hotel property portfolio comprised 113 hotels with a total of 24,225 hotel rooms in eight countries, with a market value of MSEK 31,322. Of the 113 hotels, 94 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) of 11.3 years. The remaining 19 hotels were owned and operated by Pandox.

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

  • 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
  • Organic growth from refurbishment and repositioning of hotels
  • Attractive yield and resilient cash flow generation.
  • Active ownership, which creates value and 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.

Despite macroeconomic challenges, Europe is developing relatively well with growth in all the major economies within the EU. The American economy is approaching full employment, which is expected to drive pay trends and thus inflation and also monetary policy towards more normalised interest levels. In the Nordics Sweden grows strongly, while the growth rate in neighbouring countries is more moderate.

In the US and Canada growth in RevPAR (revenue per available room) in the quarter amounted to 3 and 2 percent respectively. In the US the growth was driven by average room rates, while the occupancy rate was unchanged. New York was affected by a strong dollar and significant new capacity, among other things, resulting in a negative change in RevPAR in the quarter. Overall, the American hotel market continued to grow, albeit at a slower rate. The market in Montreal was favoured by a strong American dollar and continued good demand in the meeting and conference segments. The attractiveness of Montreal as a destination for both business and leisure travellers has been enhanced by increased marketing and infrastructure investments, which have benefited the local hotel market. Overall, RevPAR grew by 5 percent in the quarter, mainly driven by improvements in both demand and average room rates.

The hotel markets in Europe performed positively in the quarter despite the fact that this year Easter fell in March. For Europe as a whole, RevPAR increased by 3 percent with southern and eastern Europe exhibiting the strongest growth. The terrorist attacks in Brussels on 22 March had a very negative effect on the Brussels hotel market, with a decline in RevPAR in March and the first quarter of -19 and -8 percent respectively. The terrorist attacks contributed to a certain negative effect on travel from international markets into Europe. The effect on countries and regional cities that are considered safer is limited. Berlin saw an increase in RevPAR of 6 percent in the quarter and the German market in total grew 3 percent. In London, RevPAR decreased by -4 percent, mainly as a consequence of significant new capacity.

The Nordic hotel market had a generally strong quarter, with stable growth in several large cities and regional hubs despite the Easter effect. The growth was driven both by improved average room rates and by increased demand. In Stockholm, RevPAR increased by 4 percent in an environment of high economic activity. Growth in Copenhagen was 3 percent, driven in equal parts by demand and average room rates. The hotel markets in Norway benefited from relatively strong private consumption and a weak Norwegian krona, with RevPAR in Oslo increasing by 2 percent. Helsinki, which ended 2015 with two positive quarters, once again demonstrated good growth with an increase of 6 percent in the quarter driven by improved occupancy rates.

Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 386 (332), an increase of 16 percent including revenue from the 18 acquired German hotels for the full quarter. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 1 percent, despite Easter falling in March this year and the first quarter for this this reason had one business travel week fewer than the same period last year.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 442 (367), an increase of 20 percent, and included revenue from Thon Hotel Fagernes for the full quarter. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenue increased by 4 percent and RevPAR by 1 percent, despite calendar effects and the terrorist attacks in Brussels.

Apart from Brussels, both the business segments benefited from a good hotel market with increased market shares for renovated and repositioned hotels.

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 828 (699), an increase of 18 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, sales increased by 3 percent.

Net operating income from Property Management, which corresponds to gross profit, amounted to MSEK 320 (260), an increase of 23 percent including acquisitions and reclassifications. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 1 percent, despite a negative calendar effect. The increase is explained by renovated hotels that have returned to full capacity and gained market shares.

Net operating income from Operator Activities, which corresponds to gross profit plus depreciation included in Operator Activities costs, amounted to MSEK 54 (51), an increase of 6 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income decreased by 0.5 percent. The decrease is mainly due to Brussels, calendar effect and Grand Hotel Oslo, which is undergoing renovation.

The terrorist attacks in Brussels at the end of March had a negative effect on net operating income of approximately MSEK 7 in the quarter.

Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 374 (311), an increase of 20 percent.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -24 (-21).

EBITDA (gross profit plus depreciation included in costs for Operator Activities, less central administration costs, excluding depreciation) amounted to MSEK 350 (290), an increase of 21 percent, which can be explained by improved underlying net operating income for both Property Management and Operator Activities.

Financial expense amounted to MSEK -114 (-115), a decrease of MSEK 1. Financial income amounted to MSEK 0 (1).

Profit before changes in value amounted to MSEK 200 (144), an increase of 39 percent.

Unrealised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK 200 (363) and are mainly explained by yield compression and thereby lower discount rates in the valuation of Investment Properties, and also to a certain extent the underlying cash flows in Pandox's property portfolio. Realised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK 159 and are attributable to the divestment of eight hotel properties in Sweden, which was completed on 31 March 2016.

Changes in the value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -124 (-33).

Current tax amounted to MSEK -1 (-5). Deferred tax expense amounted to MSEK -58 (-95),

Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 376 (374) and profit for the period attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 374 (374), which corresponds to SEK 2.49 (2.49) per share after full dilution.

Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 235 (171), an increase of 37 percent.

Rental income and other property income amounted to MSEK 386 (332) and net operating income amounted to MSEK 320 (260). Net operating income before property administration amounted to MSEK 338 (276).

The comparison is affected by the takeover of operations and reclassification of Mr Chip Hotel (1 June 2015), Lillehammer Hotel (1 June 2015), Best Western PLUS Hotel Prince Philip (1 October 2015) and Thon Hotel Fagernes (1 January 2016) as Operating Properties, and acquisitions. The 18 hotel properties in Germany that were consolidated at the start of the year have developed according to plan.

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, total rental income increased by 1 percent, supported by growth in the hotel market, increasing demand and higher average room rates.

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income increased by 1 percent, mainly as a result of higher rental income and a limited increase in property administration costs.

On 31 March 2016 Investment Properties had a weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of 11.3 years (31 December 2015: 11.2). Overall, there is a good level of diversity in the lease maturity profile.

Revenue from the eight external asset management agreements in Oslo amounted to MSEK 0.7 (0) for the quarter.

Gross profit 18 19 279

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 442 (367) and net operating income amounted to MSEK 54 (51), an increase of 20 percent and 6 percent respectively. Thon Hotel Fagernes is included for the full period. The net operating margin was 12.2 (13.9) percent.

The increase in the quarter was limited by a negative effect on revenues and net operating income of approximately MSEK 11 and approximately MSEK 7 respectively compared with the same period last year, due to the terrorist attacks in Brussels on 22 March. Including the effect in the first quarter, the total negative effect on net operating income for full-year 2016 is expected to be approximately MSEK 40. The majority of the remaining effect is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016.

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, revenues increased by 4 percent – including the Brussels and calendar effect – with a marginal decrease in net operating income of 0.5 percent.

The increased revenues are explained by underlying growth, Grand Hotel Oslo and a stable recovery in Brussels until the date of the terrorist attacks. The decrease in net operating income is due to the events in Brussels and to Grand Hotel Oslo, which is reporting negative earnings and was not included in the basis for comparison in 2015. Productivity gains, a higher activity level in the hotel portfolio and a certain contribution to gross earnings from hotels where Pandox has recently taken over operations made a positive contribution.

Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, RevPAR increased by 1 percent, mainly due to improved occupancy rates but also with support from improved average room rates.

Revenues from Grand Hotel Oslo, which is a pure operator activity without property ownership at a lower operating margin, amounted to MSEK 24 (0) and net operating income was MSEK -8 (0). The hotel is currently undergoing renovation.

Adjusted for Grand Hotel Oslo, the net operating margin for Operator Activities was 14.8 (13.9) percent.

Asset management revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya amounted to MSEK 0.2 (0) for the quarter.

Property portfolio

Change in property values

At the end of the periods Pandox's property portfolio had a total market value of MSEK 31,322 $(31,437)$ , of which Investment Properties accounted for MSEK 24,673 (25,062) and Operating Properties for MSEK 6,649 (6,375). The market value of Operating Properties is reported for information purposes only.

The takeover of operations and reclassification of Thon Hotel Fagernes was implemented on 1 January 2016, and the divestment of eight hotel properties in Sweden was completed on 31 March 2016.

Operating Properties are recognised at cost less depreciation and any impairment. At the end of the period the carrying amount of the Operating Properties portfolio was MSEK 5,325 (5.128). The increase is mainly a result of the reclassification of Thon Hotel Fagernes and currency fluctuations.

Property valuation

$\overline{\phantom{a}}$

Pandox performs internal valuations of its hotel property portfolio. 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.

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.

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

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 first 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.

Investments in the existing portfolio during the interim period, excluding acquisitions, amounted to MSEK 84 (86), of which MSEK 53 (40) was in Investment Properties and MSEK 31 (46) was in Operating Properties.

At the end of the period investments had been approved for future projects in an amount equivalent to a MSEK 695. Major investment projects include Leonardo Wolfsburg City, Hotel Berlin, Berlin, Mr Chip Hotel Kista, Elite Park Avenue Gothenburg, Elite Stora Hotellet Jönköping, Quality Ekoxen Linköping, Lillehammer Hotel and InterContinental Montreal.

The divestment of eight investment properties in Sweden was completed on 31 March 2016.

At the end of the interim period the loan-to-value ratio was 48.6 percent (49.5). Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 12,597 (12,092) and the net asset value (NAV) as defined by EPRA was MSEK 16,825 (16,156). EPRA NAV per share was SEK 112.2 (107.7). Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised long-term credit facilities, amounted to MSEK 2,978 (1,561).

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 15,219 (15,546). The average fixed rate period was 2.5 (2.6) years and the average interest rate, corresponding to the interest rate level at the end of the period, was 2.8 (2.8) percent including effects of interest-rate swaps. The average repayment period was 3.3 (3.4) years. The loans are secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares.

Unutilised long-term credit facilities amounted to MSEK 2,158 (1,391). In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's revenue streams, interest rate derivatives, mainly interest rate swaps, are used. At the end of the period Pandox had interest rate swaps amounting to MSEK 8,524 and 51 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.

Pandox uses interest rate derivatives to achieve a desired interest maturity profile. The market value of the derivatives portfolio is measured on each closing date, with the change in value recognised in profit or loss. Upon maturing, the market value of a derivative contract is dissolved entirely and the change in value over time thus does not affect equity.

On 31 March 2016 the market value of Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK -821 (-703). The change is mainly explained by a decrease in the market interest rate relative to the fixed interest rate in the interest swap contract.

No important events have occurred after the end of the period.

As of 31 March 2016, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,667 (1,624) full-time employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,634 (1,595) are employed in the Operator Activities segment and 33 (29) in the Property Management segment and in central administration.

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-March amounted to MSEK 15 (14), and the profit for the period amounted to MSEK -54 (-70).

At the end of the period the Parent Company's shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 2,787 (2,841) and interest bearing debt of MSEK 5,007 (5,810), of which MSEK 3,996 (4,087) 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 first quarter revenue from the asset management agreements amounted to MSEK 1 (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 first quarter rental payments for Grand Hotel Oslo amounted to MSEK 6 (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 differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting principles are described on page 26.

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 rates on a certain part of its debt portfolio.

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 longterm 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 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.

Not 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 and 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 interest-bearing loans. There are no internal sales between the segments. Scandic Hotels and Leonardo Hotels are tenants who account for more than 10 per cent of revenues.

÷,

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.

The value on shares and participations in subsidiaries are tested if there is an indication of an impairment need.

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 to/received from subsidiaries are recognised as year-end appropriations in the income statement for the parent company.

Since amounts have been rounded off in MSEK, the tables do not always add up.
