The hotel market developed in a positive direction in the first quarter, which is the seasonally slowest of the year, despite a negative effect from the timing of the Easter holiday in March. Total revenue and net operating income increased by 3 and 4 percent respectively for comparable units in fixed currency. Supported by past acquisitions, our Own Operations business segment contributed more in relative terms to the earnings improvement during the quarter. The timing of the Easter holiday in March had a negative effect on total revenue of around 2 percentage points during the quarter. This is expected to be neutralised in the second quarter. Cash earnings increased by 5 percent and EPRA NRV growth, with dividend added back, was 3 percent measured on an annualised basis.

Net unrealised changes in value for the whole property portfolio remained unchanged. This is explained by stable cash flows and continuing improvement in the credit market. The average valuation yield for the hotel property portfolio increased by one point to 6.25 percent, compared with 6.24 percent at the end of 2023. This was more than 200 basis points higher than our average interest rate, end of period.

The financing climate improved further during the quarter. We refinanced loans equivalent to around MSEK 3,000 – the majority of which in the Nordics – with a three-year maturity and with a lower margin of credit than previously. The equivalent of around MSEK 2,100 of these loans have been sustainabilitylinked, which means that around 12 percent of the total loan portfolio is now sustainability-linked.

Around 18 percent of our credit facilities have a maturity of less than one year and around MSEK 3,000 of this matures in the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on discussions currently under way, we are expecting a lower margin of credit in future refinancing. The risk appetite of the banks has increased and the prospects of new financing on reasonable terms are better than they have been for a long time. Combined with the fact that the markets are expecting interest rates to be lowered, this is creating the right conditions for increased activity in the transaction market, while also supporting the valuation prospects of the properties.

Adjusted for dividends paid in April, our loan-to-value ratio amounted to 47.7 percent, which is still at the lower end of the range in our financial policy. Our interest coverage ratio, measured on a rolling 12 month basis, was 2.6x and our interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA ratio was a modest 8.8x.

Activity in the hotel transaction market has been very low in recent years and our acquisition pace has been lower than we would have liked. We have nevertheless acquired six hotel properties since 2020 for a total value equivalent to around MSEK 3,000. These acquisitions are in line with our strategy regarding active ownership. We have leveraged the uncertainty in the market – above all for the hotel properties with own operations – where the valuations have been particularly attractive. During the same period we divested four hotel properties for a total value equivalent to around MSEK 1,400, where we determined that we could reallocate the capital to acquisitions and projects with higher yield potential. The sale of DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal, which was concluded in April, is one such example.

Acquisitions are an important growth driver for us – both due to the immediate addition of revenue and net operating income from the acquisitions and because they provide a foundation for value creation over time.

As and when the financing market normalises, activity in the transaction market will pick up and this should create interesting opportunities for us. Although our Leases segment is our core business, our Own Operations segment provides an important tool for both acquisitions and transformation of products and lease types over time.

Scandic Nürnberg Central is a good example of a hotel property where, by acquiring, renovating and leasing out the property, we have created significant value and also laid the foundation for future valuecreation in partnership with Scandic. On the same theme, we are looking forward to the reopening of Citybox Brussels and of Scandic Go Fridhemsplan in Stockholm later this year.

Seasonally, the first quarter is slow and this year was also negatively impacted by the Easter dates, although this will be neutralised in the second quarter. As previously stated, for the full year we anticipate some RevPAR growth in the hotel market. Drivers of this include a strong event calendar in Germany, with the UEFA European Championship in June–July, and stable market conditions in other markets. We also have several substantial ongoing projects that will contribute positively to our earnings and value growth, through annual net operating income equivalent to around MSEK 300 with full effect in 2026, around MSEK 130 of which is expected in 2024.

Hotel demand is dependent on economic activity and the most significant risk is still the consequences of geopolitical tensions on economies and travel. Here, our exposure to mainly domestic and regional demand is an advantage. With that said, it appears that the market interest peak has passed and the prospects for an improved business climate are relatively good, which is positive for the hotel market.

The Group's total revenues amounted to MSEK 1,501 (1,353), an increase of 11 percent supported by an increased occupancy rate and a stable average price development in both business segments. The timing of Easter in March had a negative effect on total revenues of approximately 2 percentage points in the quarter.

Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 785 (714), an increase of 10 percent. The net operating income increased in both business segments.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -51 (-45).

Depreciation within Own Operations amounted to MSEK -70 (-67). Depreciation of MSEK -6 (-6) are included in administration costs.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -414 (-336). The increase is mainly explained by higher interest costs due to a higher average interest rate.

Current tax amounted to MSEK -45 (-65). Deferred tax amounted to MSEK -83 (152). See also Note 6 on page 22.

Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 272 (259), an increase of 5 percent. Cash earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.48 (1.41).

Changes in property values amounted to MSEK 34 (-212), of which MSEK 105 refers to unrealised changes in value Investment Properties and MSEK -71 refers to Assets held for sale.

Realised changes in property values amounted to MSEK 0 (198).

Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK 298 (-344).

Profit for the period amounted to MSEK 454 (-203). Profit for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to MSEK 447 (-216), equivalent to SEK 2.43 (-1.17) per share.

Figures in brackets are from the corresponding period the previous year for profit/loss items and year-end 2023 for balance sheet items, unless otherwise stated.

Rental income and Other property income amounted to MSEK 845 (780), an increase of 8 percent. In the quarter, approximately MSEK 40 is included rental income for previous years regarding a hotel property at Köln Bonn Airport. For comparable units in fixed currency, revenues increased by 2 percent. The timing of Easter in March had a negative effect on revenues of approximately 2 percentage points.

The occupancy rate for comparable hotels amounted to approximately 57 (56) percent. The UK and Belgium were particularly strong markets in the quarter.

Individual destinations with a particularly good growth were Oslo and several regional cities in the UK and Germany.

Costs, including property administration, amounted to MSEK -151 (-118), which includes one-time costs of MSEK -38 related to commercial development.

Net operating income amounted to MSEK 694 (662), an increase of 5 percent. For comparable units in fixed currency, net operating income increased by 2 percent.

The net operating margin was approximately 82 percent.

Adjusted for rental income of MSEK 40 and costs of MSEK -38 the net operating margin was approximately 86 percent.

A new turnover-based lease came into force 1 March with Scandic Hotels for Scandic Nürnberg Central (previously Hotel Pomander).

During the quarter, Pandox has regained registration of its Hereditary Building Right ("HBR") for a hotel property at Köln Bonn Airport.

Leases are the core of our business. The agreements are turnover-based with long terms, a good guaranteed minimum level, shared risk and stable earnings. Guaranteed rents, i.e. contracted minimum rents plus fixed rents, amount to approximately MSEK 2,100 measured at an annual rate.

Revenues from Own Operations amounted to MSEK 656 (573), an increase of 14 percent. For comparable units at fixed currency, revenues and RevPAR increased by 6 and 12 percent respectively. The timing of Easter in March had a negative effect on revenues of approximately 2 percentage points.

Hotel demand was good and average prices rose. The occupancy ratio for comparable hotels amounted to approximately 55 (52) percent.

The best performing hotels in the quarter was Hilton Belfast (UK), Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Airport (Heathrow, UK), DoubleTree by Hilton Bath (UK) and Hotel Hubert (Brussels, Belgium).

Costs amounted to MSEK -635 (-588). The increase is mainly explained by an increased activity in the hotels.

Net operating income (EBITDA) amounted to MSEK 91 (52), equivalent to a margin of 14 (9) percent. The margin increase is explained by higher business volumes and improved productivity. For comparable units at fixed currency, net operating income increased by 22 percent.

26 February an agreement to divest DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal in Canada was made. The divestment includes both the hotel property and the hotel operations with a transaction price of approximately MCAD 80, equivalent to approximately MSEK 630. The deal was closed in the second quarter and the property transferred 15 April.

Own Operations are hotel operations we run in properties we own ourselves. It is an important part of our active ownership model. It gives us valuable opportunities to acquire and reposition hotel properties with the aim of creating value through new leases or realising value through divestment.

Despite geopolitical instability and lower economic activity, 2024 started positively for the European travel and hotel industry. Intra-European travel is back at pre-pandemic levels while inbound travel from North America was record high in 2023. Asian inbound travel, which in large parts has yet to recover, is now clearly starting to return to Europe. Asian inbound travel to Heathrow and Frankfurt increased by more than 20 percent in the first quarter.

The first quarter followed a normal demand pattern and is the seasonally weakest quarter of the year. The timing of Easter in March had a negative effect in the quarter in comparison to last year when Easter fell in April, an effect which will be neutralised in the second quarter.

  • Both occupancy and average price developed well in Europe in the quarter. Average prices increased by some 4 percent to EUR 125.
  • The occupancy ratio increased to 61 percent from 60 percent, an increase of some 2 percent.
  • In total, RevPAR in Europe amounted to EUR 76 in the quarter, an increase of more than 6 percent.

The occupancy ratio in the Nordics amounted to 53 percent, which was marginally lower than in the corresponding period last year. Average prices exceeded the level from 2023 by almost 3 percent. In total, RevPAR increased by more than 1 percent.

  • In the Nordics, RevPAR continued to be the strongest in Norway (+5 percent), while decreasing by 1 percent in Sweden, mainly due to a negative Easter effect and challenging market conditions in Gothenburg with many new hotel openings.
  • In Germany, RevPAR increased by more than 7 percent, primarily due to increased occupancy from increased inbound travel and stronger demand in the important segments for trade fairs and congresses.
  • UK Regional developed well with a RevPAR increase of some 3 percent, explained in full by increased average prices.
  • RevPAR in Ireland decreased by 3 percent. The decrease, from high levels, is explained by several new hotel openings in Dublin and increased VAT for hotel nights.
  • In Brussels, RevPAR increased by 4 percent supported by increased international demand.

The chart shows RevPAR development for a selection of countries, regions and cities compared to the same period last year, based on market data from STR and the Benchmarking Alliance. ADR/average price is shown on the vertical axis and OCC/occupancy on the horizontal axis. The centre of the chart (origo) corresponds to the ADR/average price and OCC/occupancy rate for the corresponding period of the previous year. The percentage figure indicates the RevPAR change compared to the corresponding previous year.

For more information on property valuation, see Annual Report 2023 Note E.

At the end of the period Pandox's property portfolio consisted of 158 (157) hotel properties with 35,613 (35,490) hotel rooms in eleven countries.

As of 31 March, Dorint Parkhotel Bad Neuenahr is included at land value only. The hotel has been closed due to flooding since July 2021. Insurance compensation was received in 2023.

A large and well-diversified portfolio offers good opportunities for value-creating and growth-driving investments. Pandox maintains an ongoing dialogue with each tenant on joint investment projects to further increase the hotel's revenue and profitability. For example, new beds in existing rooms, new rooms in existing hotel properties or new rooms through extensions to existing hotel properties.

In the period January–March 2024, investments in property, plant and equipment, excluding acquisitions, amounted to MSEK 241 (235), of which MSEK 177 (121) was for Investment Properties and MSEK 64 (114) for Operating Properties.

At the end of the period, approved investments for ongoing and future projects amounted to around

MSEK 1,360, of which around MSEK 710 is for projects that are expected to be completed in 2024.

The cost of maintenance in the first quarter of 2024 was MSEK 15 (14).

During the ongoing renovation and repositioning of Hotel Mayfair in central Copenhagen we signed a long-term, attractive, revenue-based lease with hotel operator Strawberry and the Hobo brand. We took over operation of the hotel in 2020, and through active measures we have generated significant value growth for this hotel property.

One of Glasgow's foremost lifestyle hotels, Radisson Blu Glasgow has upgraded all 247 rooms as part of a major renovation project. The hotel has also added several apartmentlike rooms with two or three beds, complete with a living room and dining area, and has introduced new family rooms. Investments in the spa and conference offering are under way, with completion expected in 2024.

At the end of the period the loan-to-value net was 46.6 (46.6) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 30,883 (29,573). EPRA NRV amounted to MSEK 38,342 (36,7976), equivalent to SEK 208.55 (201.12) per share. Cash and cash equivalents plus unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 2,945 (3,147) and there are several unpledged properties with a value of approximately MSEK 3,800 in total. In addition, there are additional unutilised credit facilities that, at any given time, fully cover the issued volume under the Pandox commercial paper programme.

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 33,958 (32,960), excluding loan arrangement fees. Unutilised credit facilities, after deduction of commercial paper, amounted to MSEK 2,243 (2,378) and the volume issued under the commercial paper programme amounted to MSEK 1,160 (816). Commercial paper is only used to optimise Pandox's financial cost via interest rate arbitrage.

Commercial paper aside, all Pandox's debt financing is bank financing only with loans secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares. Pandox has a geographically diversified lender base consisting of 14 Nordic and international banks, and AMF Tjänstepension AB.

Per 31 March 2024, the average repayment period was 2.2 (2.3) years, the average fixed interest rate period was 3.3 (3.9) years, and the average interest rate level, including effects from interestrate derivatives, but excluding accrued arrangement fees, was 4.2 (4.2) percent, which also is a reasonable approximation for the expected level at the end of the second quarter 2024, given unchanged market rates.

At the end of the period the interest cover ratio (measured on rolling twelve months) was 2.6 times.

Short-term credit facilities maturing in less than twelve months amount to MSEK 6,673, of which MSEK 3,095 matures in the fourth quarter 2024.

During the first quarter of 2024, Pandox has carried out refinancing of previous short-term debt corresponding to a total of approximately MSEK 3,000, in the UK and Denmark, with a three-year tenor.

During the first quarter, Pandox has sustainabilitylinked an additional bank loan with SEB totalling approximately MSEK 2,100. As of 31 March 2024, the total sustainability-linked loan volume amounts to MSEK 4,381. The credit margin of the bank loans is linked to the annual outcome of three welldefined environmental, social and governance (ESG) sustainability targets, which will also be reported in the annual sustainability report.

1) Converted to MSEK

To reduce the currency exposure in foreign investment Pandox's aim is to finance 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's bank financing is with variable interest rate. In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives are used.

Per 31 March 2024, the gross nominal volume of interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 32,912, including forward starting swaps. At the same time, the net nominal volume of interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 25,287. The net volume is the portion of Pandox's loan portfolio for which interest rates are hedged.

Approximately 76 percent of Pandox's net debt was thereby hedged against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year and the average fixed rate period was 3.3 (3.9) years.

1) Share of loans with an interest rate reset during the period.

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 1,354 (1,055).

  • During the first quarter, Pandox has sustainability-linked an additional bank loan with SEB totalling approximately MSEK 2,100.
  • Hotel Mayfair, Copenhagen, was certified in accordance with BREEAM In Use Very Good
  • Pandox Science Based Targets:
  • Design and planning for a new climate change project in Own Operations (Scope 1 and 2). See more information below
  • Start-up and planning of a green investment programme for Scope 3

Pandox's sustainability work will contribute to sustainable properties, sustainable operations and create new business opportunities. The Company's overall sustainability goal is to offer its tenants resource-efficient hotel properties that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, reduce climate impact and enable good management of climate risks.

Pandox has defined the most important sustainability areas and divided them into five focus areas:

    1. Environment and climate
    1. Responsible and fair business
    1. Guest satisfaction and safety
    1. Attractive and equal workplace
    1. Inclusive local communities

Pandox's science-based climate targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They mean that by 2030 Pandox will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Own Operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 42 percent, while emissions in Leases (Scope 3) will be reduced by 25 percent.

Pandox has decided to invest MEUR 29 in a climate transition project for eight hotel properties in Own Operations. When the project is completed in 2027, we are expected to reach the SBTi-validated emission targets for Own Operations. The project will gradually generate cost savings, which by the end of 2027 are estimated to amount to MEUR 3 annually. The climate transition project consists of phasing out oil and gas, upgrading or replacing obsolete technical systems for energy optimisation, as well as renewable energy and behavioural change.

An earlier investment programme in Own Operations has been completed according to plan. In total, approximately MEUR 7 has been invested to reduce climate impact through energy and water reduction projects and technology installations. The goal was to reduce energy, gas and water consumption by 35 percent, 25 percent and 20 percent respectively, and to reduce CO2 emissions by 20 percent. The investment programme's expected financial return of 20 percent has so far been fulfilled.

Not 5. Operating segments

Pandox's operating segments consist of the Leases and Own Operations business streams. The Leases 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 Own Operations segment owns hotel properties and operates hotels in such owned properties. The Own Operations 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 both segments, and financial cost for right-of-use assets according to IFRS 16. 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 Fattal Hotels Group are tenants who account for more than 10 percent of revenues each.

Alternative performance measurements

About alternative performance measurements

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. Adjoining alternative financial measurements provides useful supplementary information to investors and management, as they facilitate evaluation of company performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same manner, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. Hence, these financial measures should not be seen as a substitute for measures defined according to the IFRS. Reconciliation of alternative performance measures is available on Pandox's website.

Current tax is calculated on the taxable profit for the period based on the tax rules applicable in the countries where the group operates. Since taxable profit excludes expenses that are not tax-deductible and income that is not taxable, this differs from the profit before tax in the income statement. Current tax also includes adjustments to current tax recognised in previous periods.

At the end of the period, deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 394 (340). This consists mainly of the carrying amount of tax loss carryforwards which the Company expects to be able to utilise in future financial years.

Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MSEK 5,487 (5,270) and relate mainly to temporary differences between fair value and the taxable value of investment properties, as well as temporary differences between the carrying amount and the taxable value of operating properties, and temporary measurement differences for interest rate derivatives.

Property management is at the heart of our business. Our business model -based, long leases with guaranteed minimum levels and joint incentives. We also operate hotels ourselves as an important part of our active ownership strategy

Our portfolio offers good opportunities for making value -adding investments together with our tenants. We also make transformative investments in the hotels we operate with the objective of signing new leases.

The portfolio is evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that each hotel property has attractive return potential. Acquisitions form the foundation for growth, and divestment is important to free up capital for investments with higher return potential

We want to contribute to sustainable development by creating resource efficient properties, operating our own hotels sustainably and providing safe and secure environments for our employees and guests

Pandox's loan -to -value ratio shall be in the interval 45 –60 percent, depending on the market environment and the opportunities that exist. The Company defines loan -to value ratio as interest bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the market value of the properties at the end of the period.

Pandox's target is a dividend pay -out ratio of 30 –50 percent of cash earnings, with an average pay -out ratio over time of around 40 percent. Future dividends and the size of any such dividends depend on Pandox's future performance, financial position, cash flows and working capital requirements.

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 the composition of demand and the hotel property's location. The second quarter is normally the strongest supported by high demand and willingness to pay from all sub -segments in the hotel market. Since most of the customers that stay at Pandox owned or operated hotels are business travellers, hotel demand is normally the weakest in the first quarter
