For the first quarter of 2019 Pandox reported growth in total net operating income of 11 percent and growth in net asset value, on an annualised basis, of 15 percent. The growth drivers were add-on acquisitions, sustained good development in Brussels, positive currency effects and a positive calendar effect from the dates of the Easter holiday.

For comparable units, total revenue and total net operating income increased by 3.8 and 3.2 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects,

A calendar effect relating to the Easter dates is estimated to have had a positive effect of 2-3 percent in the comparable portfolio in the first quarter. This effect is expected to be neutralised in the second quarter.

For comparable units, rental income and net operating income in Property Management increased by 1.3 percent each, adjusted for currency effects. Similar to the fourth quarter of 2018, growth was limited by renovation effects in Pandox's portfolio. Moreover, challenging comparative figures in certain key markets had a negative effect.

The underlying demand was positive across the board in the first quarter, but increases in supply led to negative RevPAR growth at London Heathrow Airport and in some regional hotel markets in Germany, such as Frankfurt.

In Copenhagen and Oslo, the effects of an increased hotel supply were offset by good demand and a positive Easter effect.

For comparable units, the rental portfolio in the UK grew by close to 2 percent, adjusted for currency effects. Excluding London Heathrow, growth was almost 4 percent.

In Operator Activities, revenue and net operating income increased for comparable units by 7.5 and 17.1 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects. The growth is again explained by positive development for the hotels in Brussels where there is good demand, productivity and profitability. Montreal and Berlin also experienced positive development.

At the end of the first quarter, committed, commenced and future investments in the existing portfolio amounted to approximately MSEK 1,130, most of them relating to revenue-driving measures and development projects.

Pandox's hotel property portfolio today offers greater opportunities than ever before for growth-driving investment. This is because the portfolio is larger, includes more destinations and has a more diversified demand profile than before. A higher number of larger cities in the portfolio and demand from more segments are factors that increase the potential for various types of investment. It is not just about improving existing spaces, but also rebuilding and extending, and creating new hotel concepts for future hotel guests.

Examples of interesting ongoing Property Management projects are Park Hotel Amsterdam, NH Vienna Airport and Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel. We are convinced that the market positions of these hotels will be significantly strengthened once they are reintroduced in the market and that they will contribute to Pandox's continued growth. Within Operator Activities, DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal is an example of repositioning that is expected to lead to good growth over time.

Pandox is still of the opinion that, although the hotel market has growth potential, it is in a mature phase and growth is slowing. In some submarkets new hotel capacity will put pressure on RevPAR in the short and medium term.

Based on positive economic growth, Pandox's well-diversified portfolio with balanced demand as well as positive contributions from the acquisitions that Pandox made in 2018, there is potential for some growth in 2019.

The trend from the last quarter of 2018 of lower growth in both international arrivals and economic activity continued into the first quarter of 2019. Slowing in the European industrial sector negatively affected countries like Germany, while the service sector continued to show positive development.

The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is predicting an increase in international arrivals in the range of 3–4 percent for 2019.

A calendar effect due to the dates of the Easter holiday (in April instead of mainly in March as in the previous year) is believed to have had a positive effect on market growth in Pandox's portfolio of around 2–3 percent in the first quarter. This effect is expected to be neutralised in the second quarter.

RevPAR developed well in the Nordic region in the quarter, helped by the dates of the Easter holiday compared with the previous year. RevPAR increased by around 1 percent each in Sweden and Denmark. In Norway and Finland the increase was around 6 and 3 percent respectively. Pandox's assessment is that, adjusted for the dates of the Easter holiday, RevPAR in the Nordic region has declined marginally. Demand in the hotel market remained good but could not fully absorb an increased supply of new hotel rooms.

RevPAR in Stockholm increased by almost 4 percent, mainly due to increased demand which more than compensated for an increased supply of around 2 percent. In Gothenburg RevPAR fell by almost 5 percent, explained mainly by a strong comparison quarter the previous year. In Malmö RevPAR increased by close to 1 percent, while the supply increased by around 2 percent.

In Oslo the supply of hotel rooms increased by 9 percent in the quarter, but a positive Easter effect supported RevPAR, which remained unchanged.

In Copenhagen more hotel rooms were added to the market, but here too, demand was good and RevPAR increased by 1 percent.

In Helsinki RevPAR increased by approximately 3 percent.

In Germany RevPAR increased by a total of approximately 4 percent during the quarter, supported by for example Berlin where RevPAR increased by almost 9 percent. Growth was, however, unevenly dispersed and RevPAR fell in several cities where new hotel capacity was added, including Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, all of which saw falling occupancy and therefore lower RevPAR compared with the corresponding period the previous year.

The hotel market in the UK consists of two parts: one market is London which has a high share of international demand and the other is the regional market (UK Regional), with a high share of domestic demand where Pandox has its focus.

RevPAR in UK Regional decreased by approximately 3 percent during the quarter. However, Pandox's regional hotel portfolio increased RevPAR and gained additional market shares after the previously completed of renovation and repositioning.

Hotel markets that were negatively affected by new capacity included Glasgow and Belfast where RevPAR declined during the quarter. In London RevPAR increased by almost 4 percent, confirming that the city is still attractive in both the leisure and business segments. However, demand for, inter alia, larger meetings was lower during the quarter due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

The hotel market at and around Heathrow Airport was negatively impacted by new hotel capacity, resulting in a decline in RevPAR mainly due to lower occupancy.

The Irish hotel market, which has grown significantly in recent years, saw slower growth in the quarter and RevPAR increased by just over 2 percent. In Dublin RevPAR decreased marginally, mainly due to an increase in the number of new hotel rooms.

The positive growth in Brussels continued and RevPAR increased by almost 10 percent during the quarter, which was the ninth consecutive quarter with a rising RevPAR. The hotel market in Brussels benefitted from a combination of good demand and a limited inflow of new hotel rooms, which contributed to improved occupancy and helped to increase average prices.

Montreal showed a marginal RevPAR increase of 0.4 percent.

Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 685 (621), an increase of 10 percent, mainly explained by acquisitions, positive currency and calendar effects and some market growth. For comparable units, revenue increased by 1.3 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 506 (431). This was an increase of 17 percent driven by sustained good development in Brussels, positive currency and calendar effects as well as acquisitions. For comparable units, revenue and RevPAR increased by 7.5 and 9.1 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects. The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 1,191 (1,052). For comparable

units, revenue increased by 3.8 percent, adjusted for currency effects. A calendar effect relating to the dates of the Easter holiday are

estimated to have had a positive effect of 2–3 percent in the comparable portfolio in the first quarter. The effect is expected to be neutralised in the second quarter.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -43 (-34). The increase is explained mainly by the company's geographical expansion.

EBITDA amounted to MSEK 634 (560), an increase of 13 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, EBITDA was MSEK 615.

Financial expense amounted to MSEK -207 (-187), of which -14 (-7) consists of capitalised arrangement fees for loans. The change is mainly explained by increased interest-bearing liabilities following acquisitions that increased the level of debt in foreign currencies.

Financial expense associated with right-of-use assets relating to the introduction of IFRS 16 amounted to MSEK -19

Financial income amounted to MSEK 2 (1).

Profit before changes in value amounted to MSEK 364 (335), an increase of 9 percent.

Unrealised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK 131 (148) and are explained by a combination of a lower valuation yield and increased cash flows in the comparable portfolio.

Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -139 (83).

Current tax amounted to MSEK -46 (-37).

Deferred tax amounted to MSEK 97 (-91). The change is explained mainly by lower tax rates in certain countries outside Sweden.

Property valuation

$\ddot{\phantom{a}}$

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. For Operating Properties internal valuations are reported for information purposes only which are included in EPRA NAV.

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.

Following a change of external independent property appraisers for
certain properties in the portfolio during the second half of 2018, the valuation
methods have changed for these properties, whereby both cash-flow and yield assumptions have mainly been
adjusted downwards.

In the first quarter Pandox had external valuations performed on approximately 7 percent of the properties in its portfolio. The external valuation results are in line with and confirm Pandox's internal valuations.

For an overview of the property portfolio by segment, geography and brand, please see page 17.

At the end of the period the loan-to-value net was 48.5 (49.7) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 22,143 (21,378). EPRA NAV (net asset value) per share amounted to SEK 28,561 (27,476), corresponding to SEK 170.52 (164.04) per share. Liquid funds plus unutilised longterm credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,612 (2,500).

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 28,436 (28,095), including arrangement fees for loans. Unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 2,689 (1,826).

At the end of the period issued commercial papers under the previously established commercial paper program amounted to MSEK 1,250 (1,250) in various tenors ranging from 3 to 12 months. The purpose of the program is to decrease the financing costs and diversify the financing structure. Issued commercial papers are backed in full by existing unutilised credit facilities.

During the quarter Pandox has mortgaged Radisson Blu Glasgow and the Midland Manchester with a total loan amount corresponding the equivalent of MSEK 1,022.

The average fixed rate period was 2.9 (3.0) 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 from interest-rate swaps, but excluding accrued arrangement fees. The average repayment period was 3.0 (3.1) years. The loans are secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares.

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.

In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives are used, mainly in the form of interest swaps. At the end of the period interest derivatives amounted to a gross amount of MSEK 22,452 and a net amount of MSEK 17,377, which is also the portion of Pandox's loan portfolio for which interest rates are hedged. Around 56 percent of Pandox's loan portfolio was thereby hedged against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year.

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.

At the end of the period, the net market value of Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK -676 (-538).

At the end of the period deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 539 (465). These represent mainly the book value of tax loss carry forwards which the Company expects to be able to use in upcoming fiscal years, and temporary measurement differences for interest rate derivatives.

Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MSEK 3,544 (3,430) and relate mainly to temporary differences between fair value and the taxable value of Investment Properties, as well as temporary differences between the book value and the taxable value of Operating Properties.

To read the full press releases, see www.pandox.se.

Pandox Annual General Meeting 2019 was held 10 April 2019.

At the end of the period, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,325 (1,037) fulltime employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,286 (1,000) are employed in the Operator Activities segment and 39 (37) in the Property Management segment and in central administration.

Administration for activities within Pandox's property owning companies is provided by staff employed by the Parent Company, Pandox AB (publ). Pandox's subsidiaries are invoiced for these services. Amounts invoiced during the January-March 2019 period totalled MSEK 27 (12), and profit for the period amounted to MSEK 95 (379).

At the end of the period the Parent Company's equity amounted to MSEK 4,649 (4,553) and the interest-bearing debt was MSEK 7,082 (7,069), of which MSEK 3,926 (4,305) was 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.

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 first quarter revenue from the nine asset management agreements amounted to MSEK 1.0 (0.9), and revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya amounted to MSEK 0.4 (0.5).

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. Reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measurements are available on pages 14-15.

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 first quarter 2019 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 92,499,999 B shares.

Pandox seeks to achieve the lowest possible financing cost while simultaneously limiting the Company's interest rate, currency and liquidity risks. Pandox's approach is that increased financing cost resulting from moderate changes in interest rates is often compensated for by higher operating income due to increased economic activity. Also, Pandox has a loan portfolio with staggered maturities and fixed interest periods where the Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate levels for a certain portion of the debt portfolio.

A significant amount of Pandox's operations are in countries outside Sweden and the Company is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Pandox reduces currency exposure in foreign investments primarily by taking out loans in local currencies. In general, foreign operations report both income and costs in the local currency, which limits currency exposure in current flows.

Pandox aims to have a diversified loan portfolio in terms of the number of lenders, concentration and maturities in order to manage liquidity risk.

Pandox's financial risks and risk management are described on pages 136–140 of the 2018 Annual Report.

Pandox defines risk as a factor of uncertainty that may affect the Company's ability to fulfil its objectives. It is therefore of utmost importance that Pandox is able to identify and assess these factors of uncertainty.

Pandox's strategy is to invest in hotel properties with revenue-based leases with the best hotel operators, and also to be able to operate hotels itself when necessary. Based on this strategy, Pandox has classified risk in five categories: strategy risk, operational risk, financial risk, external risk and sustainability risk.

Pandox's risk management work is described on pages 94–98 in the section "Risk and risk management" in the 2018 Annual Report.

There has been no significant change to Pandox's risk assessment after the publication of the 2018 Annual Report.

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.

This report contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed, due to various factors, many of which are beyond the control of Pandox

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 follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC), as 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. Under RFR2 the parent company of a 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 interim financial statements are included on pages 1–21 and pages 22–24 are thus an integrated part of this financial report.

The accounting principles applied are consistent with those described in Pandox's 2018 Annual Report.

Pandox is applying IFRS 16 prospectively as of 1 January 2019.

Pandox is applying IFRS 16 prospectively as of 1 January 2019. The effects of the transition as of 1 January 2019 are presented in the 2018 Annual Report.

Pandox's lease commitments consist of site leaseholds or other leased land, premises and vehicles. In total these undiscounted commitments amount to MSEK 2,738 based on agreements currently in effect. MSEK 2,602 of these commitments relate to land (site leaseholds or other leased land).

In Sweden site leaseholds were introduced and are still used as a supplement to ownership of a property. Only the national and municipal authorities in Sweden have the right to grant site leaseholds. The holder of a site leasehold has the right to use the land for a very long time, which is sometimes described by municipalities as "essentially infinite". Accordingly, the discounted value of site leasehold rents in Sweden is to be recognised, according to IFRS 16, as an infinite right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet. The site leasehold rent paid is recognised in full as a financial expense where in the past it was recognised as an operating cost.

Pandox has site leaseholds or other land leases in countries other than Sweden. These leases are structured differently, but are normally extended. Other clauses exist to ensure that the land can be used after the lease ends or that compensation is paid for the hotel property built on the land in question. In Pandox's experience these leases are normally extended and, accordingly, the leases are expected to be extended and treated in the same way as Swedish site leaseholds.

Premises (mainly Pandox's offices and a few floors rented in The Hotel Brussels) and vehicles (company cars) are recognised at a discounted value in the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In the income statement right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the lease and payments to the landlord/lessor are recognised as instalments on the lease liability and as interest expense in the income statement.

In connection with the transition to IFRS 16 Pandox has decided to include three new items in the balance sheet: right-of-use assets, long-term lease liabilities and short-term lease liabilities. In the income statement the financial component is recognised net as a financial item in a new line "Financial cost for right-of-use assets". To calculate right-of-use assets and lease liabilities Pandox uses an estimated financing expense in local currencies based on when the various leases mature.

In addition to the effects of the transition to IFRS 16 described above, its introduction also affects performance measures. The definitions of interestbearing net debt and cash earnings have been adjusted for clarity as of 1 January 2019 for comparability with earlier periods.

On the following page, tables are presented which describe the difference in result and financial position when IFRS 16 is applied and when not applied.

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.
