2017 was the year when Pandox established itself as a fully-fledged European player through a combination of substantial acquisitions and a strong underlying earnings trend. Pandox has now raised its business position to a new level, with access to larger, more dynamic and a greater number of hotel markets based on the Company's established business model of revenue-based leases and active ownership.

Pandox achieved a record pace in business transactions in the fourth quarter. In December a portfolio of 21 hotel properties in the UK and Ireland was acquired for around MSEK 7,700 and 20-year revenue-based leases were signed with NH Hotels Group for Hotel BLOOM! and Hotel Berlaymont in Brussels. In the same month Pandox implemented a directed share issue and divested a retail property in Brussels, which strengthened the cash position with around MSEK 1,800.

The acquisition of 21 hotel properties in the UK and Ireland with Leonardo as the operator partner was the main event of both the quarter and the year. The acquisition meets all of Pandox's strategic acquisition criteria and contributes to a further geographical diversification of the Company's revenue base. The hotel properties are of high quality and belong to the profitable upper-mid price segment, and they contribute significantly to the Company's earnings.

The acquisition adds 20 new hotel cities to Pandox's portfolio, giving the Company a strong market presence in the UK and Ireland – two large and dynamic hotel markets. The portfolio acquisition demonstrates Pandox's ability to execute its business strategy in international competition.

As previously communicated, the hotel portfolio is expected to add around MSEK 450 in net operating income in 2018 which, combined with revenue and earnings added from the earlier acquisitions of Hilton London Heathrow Airport and Hotel Berlaymont, will provide a good foundation for profitable growth.

While working on acquisitions, leasing and the new share issue, Pandox made significant progress with the existing portfolio. The total net operating income and total cash earnings increased by 27 and 54 percent respectively in the fourth quarter. Adjusted for currency effects and comparable units, net operating income from Property Management and Operator Activities increased by 6 and 25 percent respectively. The drivers were high-performing acquisitions, increased profitability in both Property Management and Operator Activities, and strong demand overall in Pandox's key markets.

Brussels, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Oslo and Montreal were particularly strong markets during the quarter. Many regional cities in the Nordics and Germany also developed well. In Copenhagen and Stockholm, however, RevPAR fell by 7 and 3 percent respectively. Although the underlying demand in Stockholm remained strong, it could not fully compensate for the increase in hotel capacity of around 6 percent during the year, mainly in Stockholm City. Further capacity will be added in Stockholm in 2018. The decline in Copenhagen is mainly explained by a very strong comparison quarter in 2016. The outlook for the Danish economy is good and Copenhagen remains highly attractive. The challenge in Copenhagen is the planned opening of several larger hotels over the next few years, starting in the second quarter of 2018.

The long-term outlook for the tourism and travel market is positive. The World Travel and Tourism Organisation (WTTC) is expecting annual growth in value in the period 2017–2027 of 4 percent globally. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) is predicting an increase in international arrivals of 3.5–4.5 percent in Europe in 2018.

Demand for hotel rooms in Europe was stronger than expected in 2017. We thus enter 2018 on a higher level with overall good market conditions. The underlying trend is stable but Pandox expects a more uneven market growth due to capacity increases in some of the Company's key markets.

Completed acquisitions and some organic growth driven by market and profitable investments in the existing portfolio create conditions to increase cash earnings 2018. The date of Easter is expected to have a slightly negative impact on the first quarter.

The Board is proposing a dividend of SEK 4.40 (4.10) per share for 2017. The dividend payout ratio is at the lower end of Pandox's financial target range and should be viewed in the light of continued attractive acquisition opportunities.

Pandox is an active owner with a business model focused on long-term revenue-based lease agreements with the market's best hotel operators. If these conditions are not in place Pandox has long experience of managing hotel operations itself. Pandox's specialist expertise and efficient management systems create opportunities to conduct business across the whole hotel value chain.

  • 143 hotels
  • 31,613 rooms
  • 15 countries
  • MSEK 50,121 portfolio value

Pandox creates shareholder value over time by increasing cash flow and property value.

Pandox is aiming for a dividend pay-out ratio of 40-60 percent of cash earnings1), with an average dividend pay-out ratio over time of around 50 percent, and a loan-tovalue ratio net2) of 45-60 percent.

The Board is proposing a dividend of SEK 4.40 (4.10) per share for 2017, representing 44 (50) percent of cash earnings. The lower payout ratio compared with the previous year should be viewed in the light of continued attractive acquisition opportunities. At the end of the period the loan-to-value ratio was 50.8 (47.9) percent.

Synchronised global economic growth was a factor in the strong demand for hotels in the quarter – both globally and in Europe. For 2017 as a whole an even spread of growth across countries and segments contributed to surprisingly strong growth in Europe.

At the global level, international travel increased significantly in 2017. According to UNWTO the number of international arrivals in Europe during the year increased by around 50 million. This is equivalent to growth of 8 percent, which is high in an historical perspective.

1

The US hotel market demonstrated robust growth with an increase in RevPAR of 4 percent. Occupancy reached a record level in 2017 despite fewer international arrivals due to entry restrictions that were imposed for certain countries.

Canada developed well and RevPAR increased by 3 percent driven by high economic activity, a relatively weak currency resulting in increased international demand, and continued limited new supply in the market. Montreal maintained its strong trend and RevPAR increased by 10 percent. The city benefitted in 2017 from strong international demand and a busy event calendar.

RevPAR in Europe increased by 6 percent, supported by both increased demand and higher average prices.

In Germany RevPAR increased by 3 percent, mainly due to a strong business segment driven by congresses and trade fairs. Berlin had a weaker quarter due to the bankruptcy of Air Berlin. The recovery in Brussels was strong in all segments and RevPAR increased by 20 percent. In London RevPAR fell by 1 percent due to fewer international arrivals and some new supply. RevPAR increased by 3 percent in the regional hotel market in the UK.

The Nordic countries continued to benefit from a good economic trend.

Helsinki ended the year strong with an increase in RevPAR of 14 percent. The improved Finnish economy with higher employment and consumption also contributed to good growth in several regional markets.

In Oslo RevPAR increased by 12 percent supported by improved average prices and higher occupancy, partly as a result of a capacity reduction in the market due to temporary closures for hotel renovations.

RevPAR in Stockholm fell by 3 percent. The pattern of good underlying demand was maintained in the fourth quarter but could not fully compensate for the increase in hotel capacity of around 6 percent during the year, mainly in Stockholm City.

Copenhagen had a strong comparison quarter (a major international medical conference with 20,000 delegates in October 2016) and RevPAR fell by 7 percent. The outlook for the Danish economy is good and Copenhagen remains highly attractive. The challenge in Copenhagen is the planned opening of several larger hotels over the next few years starting in the second quarter of 2018.

Individual cities with particularly strong development were Helsinki, Oslo, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Hannover.

In Stockholm as a whole rents remained unchanged, with marginal increases in Stockholm North and South compensating for a marginal decrease in Stockholm City. The pattern of positive underlying demand was maintained in the quarter but could not fully compensate for the increase in hotel capacity of around 6 percent, which has taken place mainly in the City during the year.

Property valuation

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 and is included in EPRANAV.

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 fourth 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

At the end of the period loan-to-value net was 50.8 (47.9) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 18,845 (15,081). EPRA NAV (net asset value) was MSEK 24,211 (19,883), corresponding to SEK 144.54 (126.24) per share. Liquid funds plus unutilised long-term credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,319 (2,232).

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 26,473 (18,831). Unutilised longterm credit facilities amounted to MSEK 2,320 (1,715).

During the fourth quarter Pandox has completed refinancing and new financing corresponding to a total of MSEK 10,140 as part of the execution of the previously communicated acquisition in the UK and Ireland.

The average fixed rate period was 2.6 (2.8) years and the average interest rate, corresponding to the interest rate level at the end of the period, was 2.6 (2.6) percent including effects of interestrate swaps. The average repayment period was 3.3 (3.0) years. The loans are secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares.

To manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives, mainly interest rate swaps, are used.

To reduce the currency exposure in foreign investment Pandox's aim is to finance the applicable portion of the investment in local currency. Equity is normally not hedged as Pandox's strategy is to have a long investment perspective. Currency exposures are largely in form of currency 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 December 2017, the net market value of Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK -563 (-735). The change in the quarter is mainly explained by an increase in the market interest rate.

Two hotel properties were reclassified 1 February 2018 to Property Management according to previously communicated agreement with NH Hotels Group.

As of 31 December 2017, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,130 (1,477) full-time employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,096 (1,433) are employed in the Operator Activities segment and 34 (34) 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-December 2017 amounted to MSEK 101 (65), and the profit for the period amounted to MSEK 30 (438).

At the end of the period the Parent Company shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 4,556 (3,712) and interest-bearing debt of MSEK 6,638 (5,085), of which MSEK 5,803 (4,997) 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 administration cost and interest relating to receivables and liabilities. All related party transactions are entered into on market terms.

Eiendomsspar AS owns 5.1 percent of 21 hotel properties in Germany and 9.9 percent of another hotel property in Germany, which were acquired by Pandox in 2015 and 2016. The dissolution of the temporary minority holding of 5.1 percent for the two hotel properties in Austria has been delayed and is expected to be completed during the first half of 2018.

Pandox has asset management agreements regarding nine hotels located in Oslo as well as for the Pelican Bay Lucaya Resort in the Grand Bahama Island, which are owned by Eiendomsspar AS or subsidiaries of Eiendomsspar AS and affiliates of Helene Sundt AS and CGS Holding AS respectively. During the fourth quarter revenue from the nine asset management agreements amounted to MSEK 0.9 (1.0), and revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya amounted to MSEK 0.2 (0.4).

Pandox applies the European Securities and Market Authority's (ESMA) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measurements. The guidelines aim at making alternative Performance Measurements in financial reports more understandable, trustworthy and comparable and thereby enhance their usability. According to these guidelines, an Alternative Performance Measurement is a financial key ratio of past or future earnings development, financial position, financial result or cash flows which are not defined or mentioned in current legislation for financial reporting; IFRS and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The guidelines are mandatory for financial reports published after 3 July 2016. Reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measurements are available on pages 21-22.

During the reorganisation period Leonardo will operate all Jurys Inn hotels, of which 20 Pandox investment properties through management agreements. Pandox's compensation will be equivalent to revenue-based leases including a guaranteed minimum rent and property obligations. The intention is to replace the management agreements with revenue-based leases no later than upon conclusion of the reorganisation.

At the end of the period, the total number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 92,499,999 B shares. For the full year 2017 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution was 75,000,000 A shares and 82,856,163 B shares. For the fourth quarter of 2017 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution was 75,000,000 A shares and 83,913,042 B shares.

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 because 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 swap contracts 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 loans in the local currency where Pandox's assets are located.

Pandox seeks to manage the risk that external financing may be difficult to access. Pandox's objective is to enter into long-term framework agreements.

Pandox aims to centralise, where possible, all Group borrowing in the Parent to gain flexibility and administrative benefits.

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. (15) Integration and reorganisation of acquisitions.

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 most of the customers that stay at Pandox owned or operated hotels are business travellers, 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.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

Pandox follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and interpretations (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with 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. Under RFR2 the Parent Company of a legal entity is to apply 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.

In addition to in the financial reports and their corresponding notes, disclosures according to IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report.

The accounting principles applied are consistent with those described in Pandox's Annual Report for 2016.

New IFRS standards not yet being applied

IFRS 15 is the new standard for revenue recognition. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts. IFRS 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when the customer gains control of the goods or services sold - a principle that replaces the previous principle whereby revenue is recognised when the risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer. The standard is effective as of 1 January 2018 and will be applied by the Group from that date. An entity can choose between full retroactivity and prospective application with supplementary disclosures. Pandox intends to apply the standard prospectively. In 2017 the Group evaluated the effect of the new standard to estimate the quantitative impact of the new rules on the financial statements. The standard is not expected to have any impact on the financial statements other than the increased disclosure requirement, and the opening balance will therefore not be adjusted.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is effective as of 1 January 2018 and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement. IFRS 9 classifies financial assets in three different categories. The classification is established upon initial recognition based on the nature of the asset and the entity's business model. The second part of the standard relates to hedge accounting. The new principles largely entail an improvement, facilitating reporting to provide a fair representation of an entity's management of financial risk and financial instruments. Finally, new principles have been introduced for impairment losses on financial assets, with a model based on anticipated losses. The purpose of the new impairment model is, among other things, to enable reserves for credit losses to be made at an earlier stage. The standard is not expected to have any significant effect on the Group's or the Parent Company's financial statements. Thus no adjustments will be made in the opening balances of reserves for credit losses or the measurement of derivatives. The EU approved the standard in the fourth quarter of 2016 and it is being applied by the Group for the financial year starting on 1 January 2018.

In January 2016 IASB published a new lease standard, IFRS 16 Leases, to replace IAS 17 Leases and associated interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. The standard will require assets and liabilities attributable to all leases, with the exception of leases of 12 months or less and leases of low value, to be recognised as a liability and asset in the balance sheet. Recognition is based on the approach that the lessee has a right to use an asset for a specific period and at the same time has a responsibility to pay for that right. Recognition for the lessor will essentially remain the same. The standard will go into effect for financial years starting on 1 January 2019 or later. Early adoption is permitted. Pandox does not plan to early-adopt IFRS 16. At this time it is not possible to quantify the effects of the introduction of this IFRS, but the new lease standard will affect Pandox's financial statements as the Group has operating leases for premises as well as site leaseholds. The way in which site leasehold fees will be handled under the new standard has not yet been determined. For an idea of the size of the Group's lease undertakings, see Note 8 Operating leases in the 2016 Annual Report. The detailed evaluation being conducted of the effects of IFRS 16 will continue in 2018.

Explanation to note 2

Pandox's operating 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 indudes eight asset management
contracts for externally owned
hotel properties. The Operator Activities segment owns hotel properties and operates hotels in properties and operates notes 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. Nonallocated items are any items that are not attributable to a specific segment or are common to both segments. 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. Scandic Hotels Group and Leonardo Hotels are tenants who account for more than 10 percent of revenues each.
