2019 was another successful year for Pandox with good and profitable growth. Supported by a focused and consistent strategy and strong teamwork, Pandox cemented its position in 2019 as a leading pan-European hotel property company. Today Pandox has a robust business platform and a broad geographical presence in some of the biggest and most dynamic hotel markets in Europe. We also have one of the strongest networks of leading hotel operators and hotel brands. Altogether this helps ensure a high-quality flow of new business opportunities in the form of value-generating investments and acquisitions.
The outcome of Pandox's strategy is positive and for 2019 can be summarised as bringing profitable growth, numerous growth-driving investments in the existing portfolio and a significant deal flow that resulted in the acquisition of 13 hotels with good potential.
For 2019 our total net operating income increased by approximately 11 percent at the same time as our net asset value EPRA NAV, on an annualised basis, increased by approximately 17 percent. This is in line with Pandox's average since the company was formed 24 years ago, despite the business today is more than 100 times the size it was back then, measured in market value of the property portfolio.
2019 ended with a stable fourth quarter supported by a well-diversified portfolio and a strong business platform, with Property Management development performing relatively better than Operator Activities.
In Property Management, growth was higher than earlier in the year, supported by positive underlying demand in all of Pandox's markets. Rental income and net operating income for comparable units increased by 4.4 and 3.7 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects. Demand, combined with a well-diversified portfolio, more than compensated for negative effects from ongoing increases in supply in Copenhagen, London Heathrow Airport and Oslo.
Within Operator Activities revenue and net operating income for comparable units decreased by 5.2 and 18.5 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects. This is explained by the ongoing renovation of Hotel Indigo Brussels City, a slightly weaker meeting segment in Brussels in October, ongoing repositioning of DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal and around MSEK 10 in restructuring costs for the operating platform in Brussels. Adjusted for these effects, net operating income decreased by around 2 percent.
In 2019 Pandox entered into acquisition agreements for a total of 13 hotel properties, 11 of which are in the Property Management business segment and two in Operator Activities, with a total of 2,834 rooms in strong regional hubs in Germany and the Netherlands. The total acquisition value was around MEUR 537 with an initial valuation yield in the range of around 5.4–6.5 percent. The acquisitions varied in nature and dynamics and encompassed two portfolios with leases in Germany (HR Group), one portfolio of management agreements (Grape Hospitality) in Germany and the Netherlands and an individual hotel property (Maritim Hotel Nürnberg) in Germany. The agreements are in line with Pandox's integrated business model where we move freely throughout the hotel value chain and maximise value-generation.
Through the acquisitions Pandox has expanded its hotel property portfolio to include seven new cities, five new brands and three new partners, which is in line with the company's active diversification strategy. Including the acquisition of Maritim Hotel Nürnberg, the hotel property portfolio now consists of 156 hotels with around 35,001 rooms in 15 countries. 38 of the hotels and 8,400 rooms are in Germany, which is the biggest hotel market in Europe.
Pandox has strong cash flows and good potential to create new revenue through its own investments in existing portfolios. However, in order for Pandox to grow even faster the company needs to secure access to new capital on an ongoing basis. Therefore, in the fourth quarter, based on authorisation from the 2019 AGM, Pandox implemented a cash-based directed share issue which raised proceeds of around MSEK 3,000. Interest in the issue, which was the biggest ever of its kind in Sweden, was significant with around 130 selected Swedish and international institutional investors subscribing for shares. We are exceedingly grateful for the support that our shareholders have shown us. Your support allows us to maintain our strong business momentum.
Conditions for the hotel market are generally sound. Forward-looking economic indicators for the world economy have gradually improved and the positive long-term drivers for the hotel market remain intact. Underlying hotel demand remains positive, but RevPAR growth is constrained by increased hotel supply. Based on a well-diversified portfolio with balanced demand from many different guest segments and a positive contribution from recently completed acquisitions, Pandox sees conditions for growth in 2020. Opportunities for acquisitions and investments remain positive. Taking the external environment and planned investments, mainly in Operator Activities, into consideration, the earnings development between quarters may, however, be somewhat uneven.
Based on available data, the Corona virus outbreak is expected to have a slight dampening effect on demand, particularly in international destinations. No considerable calendar effects from the timing of Easter are expected in the first quarter.
The Board of Directors is proposing a dividend of SEK 3.60 (4.70) per share for 2019, corresponding to approximately 30 percent of cash earnings per share and approximately MSEK 662 (787) in total amount. The dividend is an adjustment to Pandox's current dividend policy while at the same time increasing our capacity for future acquisitions and investments.
According to the UNWTO there were 1.5 billion international arrivals globally in 2019, an increase of around 4 percent compared to 2018. The growth rate was slower than the previous year partly due to slowing of the global economy as well as geopolitical and trade policy tensions. Despite a drawn-out Brexit process and the bankruptcy of travel company Thomas Cook, international arrivals in Europe increased a good 4 percent.
In general, positive demand in the European hotel market was sustained in the fourth quarter as well but, similar to earlier in the year, RevPAR development was uneven among countries, cities and submarkets. RevPAR was affected in varying degrees by new hotel capacity, the trade fair and congress calendar as well as other local circumstances and events. Altogether RevPAR in Europe increased by just over 2 percent, both in the fourth quarter and for 2019 as a whole, mainly supported by higher average prices.
Demand in the Nordic countries was good during the quarter, increasing by around 8 percent in Norway, around 4 percent in Finland and around 3 percent in both Sweden and Denmark. However, growth was limited by an increased supply of hotel rooms, particularly in Norway and Denmark and to a certain extent in Sweden. RevPAR increased by around 4 percent in Norway, around 1 percent in Sweden and was unchanged in Denmark. In Finland RevPAR increased by around 8 percent with strong support from the country's EU Presidency.
RevPAR in Stockholm increased by around 2 percent with better development for the high price segment compared with the medium price segment. Demand in Stockholm remained good, increasing by around 4 percent. Gothenburg faced strong comparative figures in October and RevPAR fell by around 2 percent. In Malmö RevPAR fell by around 1 percent, mainly due to an increased supply of hotel rooms in the city. However, underlying demand increased by around 5 percent.
Demand for hotel rooms increased in Oslo by around 8 percent during the quarter. At the same time an increase in the supply of hotel rooms of around 10 percent caused a decline in RevPAR of around 2 percent. Overall the significant inflow of new hotel capacity in recent quarters was well absorbed.
Development in Copenhagen was the same, with supply increasing slightly faster than demand, which resulted in an unchanged RevPAR compared to the previous year.
In Helsinki RevPAR increased by 6 percent, mainly supported by the EU Presidency which caused a clear increase in average prices.
The German hotel market developed well with RevPAR growth of around 3 percent. Trade fair and congress demand was strong in Frankfurt, Cologne and Düsseldorf – three important markets for Pandox, and this also had a positive effect on nearby cities such as Aachen, Bonn and Mönchengladbach.
Underlying demand in the hotel market remained positive, but an increase in hotel supply put pressure on RevPAR in some cities, including Hamburg and Munich.
For the full year 2019, RevPAR in Germany increased by 1.2 percent, despite a relatively large inflow of new hotel capacity.
The UK consists of two hotel markets: one is London and the other is the regional market (UK Regional) with a high share of domestic demand, a focus area for Pandox. Both markets are attractive and expansive with good underlying demand.
Demand in UK Regional increased steadily by around 2 percent. The supply of hotel rooms increased at the same time by just over 2 percent, which put pressure on both occupancy and average prices. Altogether RevPAR decreased by around 3 percent in the quarter and by around 2 percent for 2019 as a whole. Pandox's regional portfolio developed better than the market, increasing its market share both in the quarter and for 2019 as a whole.
Hotel markets that were negatively affected by new hotel capacity included the submarkets London Heathrow Airport and Belfast. Glasgow saw both an increase in the supply of hotel rooms and strong comparison figures. Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford were markets with particularly good development.
The good growth in Brussels continued – albeit at a slower pace – and RevPAR increased by around 3 percent. The conference segment had weaker growth and also faced stronger comparison figures. Demand from the leisure segment has improved gradually over the past few quarters and now is making a substantial contribution alongside the traditionally strong business and conference segment. The hotel market in Brussels continued to benefit from a limited inflow of new hotel rooms, which is supporting both occupancy and average prices.
Montreal saw unchanged RevPAR in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2019 RevPAR increased by around 4 percent, mainly driven by improved average prices.

Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 810 (749), an increase of 8 percent, explained by positive market growth, acquisitions and good effects from completed renovations. The growth was partly offset by negative currency effects during the quarter.
The previously communicated change in property tax accounting in the UK and Ireland reduced other property revenue by around MSEK 19 in the quarter compared with 2018.
For comparable units, revenue increased by 4.4 percent adjusted for currency effects.
Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 645 (626), an increase of 3 percent, explained by acquisitions. Growth was negatively affected to some extent by currency effects.
Revenue and RevPAR for comparable units decreased by 5.2 and 3.7 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects. The decrease is mainly a consequence of renovation disruptions at Hotel Indigo Brussels City (formerly Hilton Brussels City) and Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport, as well as transition effects relating to the rebranding to DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal.
The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 1,455 (1,375). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 0.2 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Net operating income from Property Management amounted to MSEK 716 (627), an increase of 14 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, net operating income was MSEK 700. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 3.7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Net operating income from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 159 (165), a decrease of 4 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, net operating income was MSEK 150. For comparable units, net operating income decreased by 18.5 percent adjusted for currency effects, mainly due to renovation disruptions at Hotel Indigo Brussels City and Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport, as well as the ongoing repositioning of DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal. There were also one-off costs of around MSEK 10 to improve the efficiency of the operating platform in Brussels. Adjusted for these costs, net operating income decreased by around 2 percent, mainly explained by a weaker meeting segment in Brussels in October.
Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 875 (792), an increase of 10 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, total net operating income was MSEK 850.
Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -44 (-43).
EBITDA amounted to MSEK 831 (749), an increase of 11 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, EBITDA was MSEK 805.

Financial income amounted to MSEK -2 (0) and is explained by exchange rate differences.
Financial expense associated with right-of-use assets relating to the introduction of IFRS 16 amounted to MSEK -21
Profit before changes in value amounted to MSEK 526 (489), an increase of 8 percent.
Unrealised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK 396 (607). This is mainly explained by lower valuation yields.
Realised changes in value amounted to MSEK -41 (27), mainly explained by disposals relating to Hotel Indigo Brussels City within the Operator Activities operations.
Unrealised changes in the value of derivatives amounted to MSEK 444 (-147).
Current tax amounted to MSEK 59 (-55), which is mainly a result of year-end appropriations, intra-group equalization and other adjustments. Pandox has also received positive advanced notice in Finland of a possibility of using tax loss carryforwards from previous years through Group contributions. Deferred tax amounted to MSEK -93 (-146). See also page 9 and the sections under the headings "Deferred tax" and "Swedish Tax Agency decision".
Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 1,291 (775) and profit for the period attributable to Parent Company shareholders amounted to MSEK 1,297 (776), which is equivalent to SEK 7.30 (4.63) per share.
Total cash earnings amounted to MSEK 651 (485), an increase of 34 percent.
Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 3,129 (2,971), an increase of 5 percent, supported by a positive hotel market, acquisitions, good effects of completed renovations and positive currency effects.
The previously communicated change in property tax accounting in the UK and Ireland reduced other property revenue by MSEK 64 for the period compared with 2018.
For comparable units, revenue increased by 2.3 percent adjusted for currency effects.
Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 2,424 (2,153), an increase of 13 percent mainly driven by positive currency effects, acquisitions and good overall development in Brussels and Germany. For comparable units, revenue and RevPAR increased by 2.9 and 4.9 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects.

Net operating income from Property Management amounted to MSEK 2,764 (2,517), an increase of 10 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, net operating income was MSEK 2,706. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 1.9 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Net operating income from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 625 (540), an increase of 16 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, net operating income was MSEK 599. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 1.5 percent, adjusted for currency effects. Net operating income was negatively affected by renovation disruptions at Hotel Indigo Brussels City (formerly Hilton Brussels City) and Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport in the fourth quarter, as well as the repositioning of DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal throughout the year. There were also one-off costs of around MSEK 10 to improve efficiency of the operating platform in Brussels in the fourth quarter. Adjusted for these costs, net operating income increased by around 9 percent.
Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 3,389 (3,057), an increase of 11 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, total net operating income was MSEK 3,305.
Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -175 (-148). The increase is explained by a new incentive programme, the company's growth, geographical expansion and increased complexity.
EBITDA amounted to MSEK 3,215 (2,909), an increase of 10 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, EBITDA was MSEK 3,128.
Financial expense amounted to MSEK -866 (-804), of which MSEK-56 (-40) consists of depreciation of capitalised loan arrangement fees.
Financial income amounted to MSEK 1 (1).
Financial expense associated with right-of-use assets relating to the introduction of IFRS 16 amounted to MSEK -81
Profit before changes in value amounted to MSEK 2,074 (1,943), an increase of 7 percent.
Unrealised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK 1,389 (1,428) and are explained by a combination of a lower valuation yield and higher cash flows in the comparable portfolio.
Realised changes in value amounted to MSEK 70 (67) and consisted of divestment of Hotell Hasselbacken and disposals in connection with the rebranding to Hotel Indigo Brussels City within Operator Activities.
Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -39 (25).
Current tax amounted to MSEK -122 (-216).
Deferred tax amounted to MSEK -672 (-424). A large part of the increase is explained by the use of tax loss carryforwards from previous years in Sweden. In addition, several countries in which Pandox has operations have made changes to their corporate tax systems in recent years, which prompted a review of reported deferred tax in the respective jurisdictions. See also page 9 and the sections under the headings "Deferred tax" and "Swedish Tax Agency decision".
Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 2,700 (2,823) and profit for the period attributable to Parent Company shareholders amounted to MSEK 2,706 (2,820) which is equivalent to SEK 15.91 (16.83) per share.

Rental income and other property revenue amounted to MSEK 810 (749).
Adjusted for the change in property tax accounting in the UK and Ireland (see "Financial development October–December" on page 4), revenue was 11 percent higher than the corresponding period the previous year, explained by positive market growth, acquisitions and good effects from completed renovations. The growth was partially offset by negative currency effects.
Net operating income amounted to MSEK 716 (627), an increase of 14 percent. Excluding effects from the introduction of IFRS 16, net operating income was MSEK 700.
Revenue for comparable units increased by 4.4 percent, while net operating income increased by 3.7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Rental growth in the comparable portfolio was positive in Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Norway and Sweden and negative in Ireland, Denmark and the UK.
Individual cities with particularly good rental income growth were Wolfsburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Leeds, Belfast, Helsinki, Tammerfors and most domestic regional cities in Sweden, Norway and Finland.
In Stockholm rental income increased by around 3 percent during the quarter. In Oslo and Copenhagen, the decrease was 11 and 2 percent respectively, which reflected an increased supply of hotel rooms, albeit in an environment with sustained positive demand.

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. 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.
In the fourth quarter Pandox had external valuations performed on approximately 34 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 18.
At the end of the period the loan-to-value net was 46.0 (49.7) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 26,350 (21,378). EPRA NAV (net asset value) amounted to MSEK 34,270 (27,476), equivalent to SEK 186.40 (164.04) per share. Liquid funds plus unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 4,215 (2,500).
At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 29,824 (28,095), excluding loan arrangement fees. Unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,583 (1,826).
At the end of the period the volume issued under the commercial paper programme amounted to MSEK 1,688 (1,250) in various tenors ranging from 3 to 12 months.
During the fourth quarter Pandox refinanced loans for a total amount of MSEK 8,650 with tenors of around 4 years.
The average fixed rate period was 3.8 (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 derivatives, but excluding accrued arrangement fees. The average repayment period was 3.3 (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 rate swaps. At the end of the period interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 26,148 gross and MSEK 21,091 net, which is also the portion of Pandox's loan portfolio for which interest rates are hedged. Around 61 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 -577 (-538).
At the end of the period, the deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 383 (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 4,552 (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.
Several countries in which Pandox has operations have made changes to their corporate tax systems in recent years. For this reason, Pandox has implemented an extensive review of reported deferred tax in each jurisdiction. The review has resulted in effects on both deferred tax liabilities and tax assets.
Pandox has received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency regarding the Group's transfer pricing, which refers to a changed profit allocation of approximately MSEK 1,900 to the Parent Company in Sweden. This would imply an increased current tax of approximately MSEK 366 in Sweden and a tax surcharges of MSEK 53 plus interest.
Pandox's transfer pricing does not differ from industry practice. The Swedish Tax Agency is however of the opinion that allocation of profits shall not be made to the country where the properties are located and operations are conducted, but to the country of the parent company, i.e., Sweden. Pandox insists that the Group's companies are following and have followed applicable laws for taxation in the countries where the Group's companies are operating and will appeal the decision. Pandox would like to stress that the Group's companies are paying and have paid taxes in each jurisdiction at a tax rate which is comparable with the one in Sweden.
Pandox has been granted an extension of payment by the Swedish Tax Agency due to the uncertainty of the outcome of the case. Pandox believes that the possibilities for a court ruling in favour of the Company are good.
Should the Swedish Tax Agency be successful with its position in court, Pandox estimates that the effect on the Company is limited since Sweden has double taxation agreements in place with all countries for which the increase refers to, which should eliminate the double taxation for Pandox. Assuming that elimination of double taxation will be made, the maximum exposure is estimated to be tax surcharges of some MSEK 53, plus interest.

At the end of the period, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,460 (1,161) fulltime employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,419 (1,120) are employed in the Operator Activities segment and 41 (41) 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-December 2019 period totalled MSEK 122 (106), and profit for the period amounted to MSEK 2,313 (734).
At the end of the period the Parent Company's equity amounted to MSEK 9,089 (4,553) and the interest-bearing debt was MSEK 6,325 (7,098), of which MSEK 3,447 (5,555) 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 22 hotel properties in Germany and 9.9 percent of another hotel property in Germany. The acquisitions were made by Pandox in 2015, 2016 and 2019.
The management agreements that Pandox has had with Eiendomsspar AS regarding nine hotels in Oslo that are owned by Eiendomsspar AS or subsidiaries of Eiendomsspar AS ended on 31 December 2019. The management agreement regarding Pelican Bay Lucaya Report in the Bahamas owned by affiliates of Helene Sundt AS and CGS Holding AS is still in place. During the fourth quarter revenue from the nine management agreements amounted to MSEK 1.0 (1.0), and revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya to MSEK 0.4 (0.1).
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 15-16.
At the end of the period, the total number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 108,849,999 B shares. For the fourth quarter 2019 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 102,629,890 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 interim financial statements are included on pages 1–23 and pages 24–26 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 2,894 based on agreements currently in effect. MSEK 2,747 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 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.

Note 3 Operating segments
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 includes nine asset management contracts for externally owned hotel properties, which have been terminated per 31 December 2019. The Operator Activities segment owns hotel properties and operates hotels in such owned properties. The Operator Activities segment also includes 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 bot 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 Fattal Hotels Group are tenants who account for more than 10 percent of revenues each.
