Pioneer Property Group ASA (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries (together, the 'Group') invests mainly in a broad range of properties including retail properties; hotel properties; preschool properties, office properties and property development within commercial and residential real estate (currently under development). The Group leases out the investment properties on long-term leases. The current real estate portfolio is situated in Norway and Sweden.
Pioneer Property Group ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of the Company's registered office is Rådhusgata 23, 0158 Oslo.
The consolidated annual financial statements cover the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022, with 2021 shown as comparative period.
These consolidated financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors 30. March 2023.
In 2022, PPG has increased the real estate portfolio and its investment activity, especially within the development property segment.
The largest single transaction was carried out in May 2022 when PPG sold its 8.2 % stake in Odin Bidco AS, which owns a real estate portfolio of ~256 preschools at mainly long-term triple-net contracts primarily in the Nordics. Pioneer Property Group ASA entered into an agreement regarding the sale of all the shares owned by PPG in Odin Bidco AS to the existing shareholders in Odin Bidco AS. Closing of the transaction took place on June 6th. The agreed price for the Shares was MNOK 372.1 generating a profit of MNOK 25.7.
The second largest transaction was the purchase of properties and shares from Hospitality Invest AS' in September 2022. The transaction consisted of majority of the shares in the following direct and indirect subsidiaries: Gaustadskogen Eiendom AS (77%); Tjuvholmen Eiendom AS (100%) and Norab Eiendom Vest AS (100%). All property companies with tenants owned by the Norlandia Health & Care Group AS. In addition the transaction also included 23.6% of the shares in Norlandia Holding AS, a company which owns hotels mainly operated by Norlandia Hotel Group AS.
In October, PPG acquired the remaining 23% of the shares in Gaustadskogen Eiendom AS based on a property value of 78MNOK, identical to the property value for purchase of 77% of the shares.
Other investments were a 7.500 sqm plot in Mo i Rana, a 51.500 sqm parking area in close proximity to Evenes Airport, and a 44.600 sqm plot situated next to Brennemoen Hotel in Indre Østfold municipality.
PPG continued to grow its diversity within the real estate portfolio with the acquisition of T10 Eiendom AS, a company owning a seven story large office building in Bodø.
In total, PPG has acquired investment property with a total property value of MNOK 331. See Notes 6 and 19 for further information on the acquisitions of companies regarded as asset purchases.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for fair value adjustments of bonds, funds, shares and investment properties.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are related to valuation of investment properties as described in note 6 and the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value as described in note 9.
The statement of cash flow has been prepared using the indirect method.
All financial numbers are presented in NOK thousand, unless otherwise stated.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively.
Transactions with non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are treated as equity transactions. If shares are acquired from a noncontrolling interest, the difference between the payment and the proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets attributable to the shares is recognized in the equity of the parent company's owners. Gains and losses arising from the sale of shares to non-controlling interests are recognized in equity.
The Group's presentation currency is NOK, which is also the parent company's functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised in the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the reporting date. All exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The Group has foreign entities with functional currency other than NOK. At the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of foreign entities with functional currencies other than NOK are translated into NOK at the rate of exchange at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The translation differences arising from the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated at currency translation as part of other reserves. On disposal reserves related to actual disposal are transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of profit or loss on disposal.
Pioneer Property Group ASA has two classes of shares, ordinary shares and preference shares. The preference shares were entitled to annual dividend payments amounting to NOK 9.50 per preference share until the end of June2022. This was stepped up to NOK 10.00 per preference share from 01 July 2022, in accordance with the company's Articles of Association. The board of directors approves payment of dividends based on an authorisation from the Annual General Meeting. The dividend payments have been made quarterly with NOK 2.375 per preference share in first half of 2022, and NOK 2.500 over the second half of 2022. The Preference shares are currently redeemable at a price of NOK 100 per share, which was valid from 1 July 2020, when it was stepped down from NOK 130 per preference share. The coupon for the preference share has reached its maximum coupon, which is set to NOK 10 per share.
Dividend distribution to Ordinary shares and Preference Shares is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statement in the period in which the dividend is approved by the Board of Directors based on the authorisation given by the Company's shareholders in the General Assembly.
The Group as a lessee
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group (the commencement date). Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The rightof-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the statement of the comprehensive income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. The Group has only short-term leases.
The Group enters into lease agreements where it acts as a lessor. This constitutes the Group's main source of income. See note 13 for the description of the Group's accounting policies on Rental Income.
Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and information on potential liabilities. Future events may lead to these estimates being changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on best estimates and historical experience. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Management has, when preparing the financial statements; made certain significant assessments based on critical judgment when it comes to application of the accounting principles.
Material exercise of judgment and estimates relate to the following matters:
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by management under guidance by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and act upon financial risks.
Market risk for the Group is the risk that future cash flows in the form of interest payments change as a result of changes in market interest rates in addition to fluctuations in currencies. The level of interest rate exposure and currency risk exposure are determined based on an assessment by management and the Board of Directors of existing cash flows, general assessment of financial condition and available liquidity.
The Group holds interest bearing assets in terms for cash deposits and bonds. Fluctuations in interest rates would yield a higher or lower interest income. At the current level of cash deposits, a change in interest rate of +/- 1 % will not be material for the financial statements. Further, a change in interest levels may cause changes in the fair value of the real estate portfolio in addition to the performance of the bonds and bond funds held on PPG's balance sheet.
Exposure to cash flow interest rate risk is assessed when necessary. As of 31.12.2022, the Group is exposed to variable interest rates for its borrowings linked to the different investment properties. The Group also holds borrowings with fixed interest rates. See note 11 for further details.
The need for a fixed rate is periodically assessed, depending on the effects of adverse fluctuations in interest payment cash flows due to higher interest rates. Management's assessment is that the Group's current financial position does not indicate a further need for fixed interest rates.
The following table summarises how the profit or loss, before tax, and equity in the 2022 reporting period would have been affected by changes in the interest rate that Management considers are reasonably possible:
| Interest rate sensitivity | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in TNOK) | $-0.50%$ | $-0.25%$ | 0.25% | 0.50 % |
| Change P&L/Equity | -4173.2 | -2086.6 | 2086.6 | 4173.2 |
Currency risk is a financial risk that exists when a financial transaction is denominated in a currency other than that of the base currency of the company. Currency risk also exists when the foreign subsidiary of a firm maintains financial statements in a currency other than the reporting currency of the consolidated entity. The risk is that there may be an adverse movement in the exchange rate of the denomination currency in relation to the base currency before the date when the transaction is completed.
Monetary assets and liabilities are sensitive to movements in foreign exchange rates. As most the operations of the Group are located in Norway, and all financing activities are denominated in NOK (see note 11), Management considers that the exposure to foreign exchange risk is low, as all loans are nominated in NOK and the cash funds in Swedish Krona at year end was MSEK 6.8
For its operating activities in Sweden, the Group manages its foreign currency risk by maintaining a policy to hold the foreign currency received to meet its future obligations in foreign currency, such as refurbishment needs.
Credit risk is the loss that the Group would suffer if a counterparty fails to perform its financial obligations. Credit risk is managed on Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents; loans granted and trade receivables, including committed transactions. The Group assess the expected credit losses in relation to its financial assets taking into account its past experience and also taking into account forwards looking information
Management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The Group places credit limits on its customers. No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by the contractual counterparties. The impairment analysis on trade receivables is performed at each reporting period based on a provision matrix, grouping its receivables in the number of days past due. As of the end of the 2022 and 2021 reporting periods, there has not been recorded any loss and there are no significant amount of trade receivables past due at the date of the approval of the financial statements.
| Total | Not due between 1 and 60 days overdue more than 60 days overdue | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade Receivables | 8 066 | 1 976 | 6 090 | - |
| Other Receivables | 20 958 | 20 958 | - | - |
| As per 31.12.2022 | 29 024 | 22 934 | 6 090 | - |
| Total | Not due between 1 and 60 days overdue more than 60 days overdue | |||
| Trade Receivables | 4 537 | 4 537 | - | 625 |
| Other Receivables | 5 634 | 5 634 | - | - |
| As per 31.12.2021 | 10 171 | 10 171 | - | 625 |
The credit quality of the issuer is also taken into consideration when acquiring bonds.
With respect to the loans to associates and other parties, the Groups applies general approach to assess the impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost. Loans to associates are closely monitored by Management, and concludes that the credit risk, including the probability of default within the next 12 months is very low. There has not been a significant increase in the credit risk since the initial recognition.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring a significant increase in finance cost or not being able to meet its obligations at all. The risk also includes that the Group must forfeit investment opportunities. Cash flow forecasting is performed at Group level.
Group management monitors the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom to pay out quarterly dividends to holders of preference shares. The monitoring takes into account the possibility to raise external debt, as the Group keeps unleveraged assets and properties. The Group also keeps its liquid funds in cash and cash equivalents, and in high yield funds with high liquidity.
The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

During 2022, the Group became the counterparty to a number of loan agreements, mostly in connections with its acquisitions of investment properties. See Note 11 for further details.
As of the end of the 2022 reporting period, Management considers highly likely that the Group will enter into refinancing agreement for one of the loans maturing in less than 12 months, with an amortised cost value of MNOK 84. The new agreement is expected to be paid in periodic payments over a term of 5 years. However, since at the end of the 2022 reporting period the Group has not completed the agreement (i.e. no unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period), the loan is presented as current liabilities.

The group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern; to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital; and to comply with all covenants agreed with the lenders to the Group. Compliance with covenants is further described in note 11.
When managing the capital, PPG will take into account the need for sufficient liquidity reserves to meet PPG's financial obligations.
Management determines that the current liquidity in the Group and the current liquidity forecasts as of 31.12.22 grants the Group with enough resources to meets its obligations and continue with its current investment plan. Management continues to monitor the optimal capital structure going forward, depending on operational needs. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to repay debt.
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. Furthermore, the entity's component's operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and thus separate financial information is available. The company has determined that the Board of Directors is collectively the chief operating decision maker.
During 2022, the Group has made different investments across a broad range of properties, mainly in Norway and in Sweden to a more limited extent. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group's real estate portfolio was comprised of retail properties; hotel properties; preschool properties; office properties and development properties with both commercial and residential use. The Office properties segment is a new one for 2022, as a consequence of the acquisition of an office property in Bodø (see Note 6 for further information).
Management has therefore identified five different segments, all of them held to with a view to enter into lease agreements where the Group acts as a lessor.
The Preschool segment consists of three preschool property owned by PPG, located in Bergen and Oslo. Two preschools were acquired in September 2022 from Hi Capital AS and Hospitality Invest AS. Total lease income for the Preschool segment amounted to MNOK 1.9 in 2022 and MNOK 0.4 in 2021, with a fair property value based on third party valuation of the property owned by PPG per 31.12.21 of MNOK 116.
The retail property segment constitutes of properties owned by the subsidiary Pioneer Retail Properties AS, which was established to procure and build facilities for retail properties, mainly for the Ferda group all over Norway. The segment consists currently of 6 retail properties owned by PPG. Total lease income for 2022 for the retail properties segment amounted to MNOK 29.4 with a fair property value based on third party valuations per 31.12.22 of MNOK 461.
Over the period PPG's subsidiary Pioneer Retail Properties has completed two building projects with new premises for Ferda in Balsfjord and in Mo i Rana. The premises consist of 1200 m2 building let out to Ferda on a 15-year barehouse lease agreement. Annual lease for 2023 is expected to be MNOK 4.7 MNOK combined for the two new properties.
Pioneer Property Development AS develop general commercial real estate and housing. The segment consists of 3 development projects at the end of 2022.
During 2022, the construction of two new retail properties in Balsfjord and Mo i Rana was completed, previously recognized as Project in progress, investment properties. At year end of 2022, the two properties is recognized as investment properties in the retail property segment. Please refer to note 6 for further details. In autumn 2022, the building of Ferda Evenes was initialized, expected to be completed by the spring of 2024.
The existing development project in Evenes, Nordland of 400 000 m2 greenfield area in close proximity to Harstad/Narvik airport in Northern Norway was expanded with av additional plot of 51 500 m2 in November 2022, consisting of a 1200 m2 building and a parking lot, with net rental income estimated to 7 MNOK annually. The purchase price for the plot was NOK 74 MNOK.
The hotel properties segment includes hotels in both Norway and Sweden, rented out to Up North Hospitality AS, who has a management agreement with Norlandia Hotel Group, or directly to Norlandia Hotel Group. Norlandia Hotel Group operates the hotels on franchise agreements with leading hotel brands. Norlandia Hotel Group is owned by Hospitality Invest AS.
The properties are owned by subsidiaries of Pioneer Hotel Properties AS, which was established to acquire hotel properties through the downturn following the Covid-19 pandemic across the Nordics and Europe. The Hotel Properties segment consists of six hotel properties owned by PPG. Total lease income for 2022 for the Hotel Properties segment amounted to MNOK 42.6 with a fair property value based on third party valuations per 31.12.22 of MNOK 924.
In relation to the creation of the Hotel Properties segment, PPG also established Up North Property AS, which is 90.1% owned by Pioneer Hotel Properties and 9.9% indirectly owned by Svein Arild Mevold, who was the previous CEO of Scandic Norway. Up North Property's strategy is to acquire hotel properties in the Nordics and Europe, where there is an opportunity to change the hotels market position through reconfigurations and renovations for the hotel to adapt to a changed hotel market.
Currently, the hotels in Forum and Gardermoen is undergoing renovations. When completed, the minimum rent and the expected rent will be increased.
The first office property was acquired in March 2022, a seven stories tall building in Bodø. PPG's has acquired Terminalveien 10 in Bodø based on a property value of MNOK 45 together with local investors. PPG has an ownership of 52 % in the property, controlling the acquired subsidiary that owns the property. The transaction was completed March 8 2022. The property consideration was settled with cash and bank debt.

Property held with the purpose of achieving rental income, increase in value or both are classified as investment property. Investment property also include property under development for future use as investment property. Investment property is initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Cost includes the amount of cash consideration paid and the fair value of other consideration given.
Transaction costs include stamp duty, lawyer's fees and commission to bring the property to the condition that is necessary to put the property into operation. Recognised value also includes replacement cost for parts of the existing investment property at the time when the cost is incurred and the terms for recognition has been met.
After initial recognition the investment property is subsequently recognised at fair value. Changes in fair value are presented in the statement of comprehensive income in the reporting period when change occurs.
Subsequent costs relating to investment property are included in the carrying amount if it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the investment property and the costs can be measured reliably. Expenses relating to operations and maintenance of the investment property are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties are derecognised when they are sold or are permanently out of operations and have no expected future economic benefit. All gains or losses relating to sales or disposal are presented in the statement of comprehensive income the same year as disposal. Gains or losses from disposal of investment property is the difference between net selling price and the carrying amount of the asset.
The investment properties are valued in accordance with the fair value method and all have been valued in accordance with valuation Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (Level 3 - where inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)), see also note 9.
The yield level of the property has been determined on the basis of the unique risk and transactions based on the respective locations.
At the end of the year, the Group commissioned external cash-flow valuations for the properties that are not under development, from an independent valuer. The independent valuer has in these reports valuated the properties on an individual basis using a combination of discounted cash-flow analysis and property yield level. Individual factors for the properties such as relevant country, the property's location in relation to a major city, net-population change, size of the property, year of build and whether or not the property is on leased land (Norwegian: festetomt) were applied to assess the yield for the respective property/location.
As of the end of the 2022 reporting period, the following gross yield for the investment properties is observed for the properties and the valuation of the properties implies the following yields:
| Preschool | Retail | Development | Hotel | Office | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Properties | Properties | Properties | Properties | Properties | Total | |

| Weighted average gross yield 2021 | 3.4% | 6.1% | n/a | 6.2% | n/a | 6.2% |
The calculated weighted average gross yield is based on annual contractual lease income of 2023 of MNOK 105.7 after refurbishment of Forum and Voss and is based on an expected annual inflation of 6.8% and market rent at the end of lease period.
As of 31.12.22 the Groups investment property portfolio consists of three preschool properties, six retail properties, four hotels in Norway, two hotels in Sweden and land in Oslo, Rana, Evenes and Indre Østfold. The Group owns and manages a total area of approximately 75.500 square meters, not including associated companies and development properties.

As of the end of the 2022, the undergoing refurbishment of Forum Hotel and the planned renovation of Park Hotel Vossevangen with limited rent income contributions from the property over the renovation period as the rent is based on a lower percentage of the hotel turnover in the renovation period, agreed with its tenants. When renovation is completed, the annual minimum rent will increase, as well the turnover-based rent. During 2022, a renovation budget of 20 MNOK was agreed with the tenant in Guard Hotel, increasing the minimum rent to 19,1 MNOK.
The Group had similar commitments of this type at the end of the 2021 reporting period, with both Park Hotel Vossevangen and Forum Hotel under renovation.
The Group did not incur any direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) in investment property that did not generate rental income during the 2022 and 2021 reporting periods. As for the investment properties that did generate rental income during the 2022 and 2021 reporting periods, there were no material direct operating expenses incurred during the period, as most of the contracts are triple net (i.e. net of insurance, taxes and maintenance).
Storms and floods are long-term risks, and potential physical damage to properties could be severe. However, all properties are insured. In November 2022, a flood in Voss caused damages on some equipment and installations, however all costs has been recovered by the insurance company. On long term, such events may lead to increased insurance cost, but this has not yet been observed.
A property analysis is an estimate of the value that an investor is willing to pay for the property at a given time. The valuation is made on the basis of generally accepted models and certain assumptions on different parameters.

Associated companies are all entities over which the company has significant influence, but not control or joint control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without the ability to have control over those policies. This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost.
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured longterm receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to both a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity. Financial instruments are generally recognized as soon as the group becomes a party to the terms of the financial instrument.
Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other loans and receivables. Financial instrument classification is based on the business model in which the instruments are held as well as the structure of the contractual cash flows.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are non-derivative financial assets with contractual payments that consist exclusively of payments of interest and principal on the outstanding nominal amount and are held with the objective of collecting the contractually agreed cash flows, such as loans and receivables, trade receivables or cash and cash equivalents (the "hold" business model).
After initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are impaired or derecognized. Interest effects from the application of the effective interest method and effects from currency translation are also recognised through profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, comprise financial assets whose cash flows do not relate solely to payments of interest and repayments of principal on the outstanding nominal amount. Gains or losses on these financial assets are recognized through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities regularly give rise to a redemption obligation in cash or another financial asset. These include in particular bonds and other securitized liabilities, trade payables, liabilities to banks, liabilities to affiliated companies and derivatives designated as hedges. Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories:
Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are also recognized for all financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value not through profit or loss. Trade payables and other non-derivative financial liabilities are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation underlying the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expires.
The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This applies regardless of whether the price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation method.
The fair value is not always available as a market price but must be calculated on the basis of a range of valuation parameters. For this purpose, various categories are established in which, depending on the availability of observable parameters and the significance of these parameters for determining the fair value as a whole, the following levels apply:
Financial instruments and investment properties that are measured at fair value in the financial statements require disclosure of fair value measurements by level based on the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
The shares in Odin Bidco AS was sold in May 2022. Until the moment of their disposal, the shares have been measured by an independent valuation expert. Odin Bidco AS owns preschool properties in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Netherlands.
For the estimate of 2021, revenue was based on rental agreements adjusted for the consumer price index and it was assumed that the contracts are renewed at expire. The rental agreements are triple net contracts where the operator has the main responsibility for annual maintenance, insurance, and other directly related property. Average EBITDA-margin was estimated to 96.80%. Finance expense is based on the current borrowing structure. In addition, growth based on future acquisitions are included. The equity discount rate applied in 2021 was 9.80%.
The most sensitive assumption is the discount rate. If the discount rate were reduced or increased with 0.25%, the corresponding value of the Group's share of Odin would have increase/decrease with approximately 4.5% in 2021.

The Group typically rents out the investment properties to tenants on long term triple-net contracts where the operator has the main responsibility for annual maintenance, insurance, and other directly related property. All agreements are fully adjusted annually to reflect the change in CPI. However, the hotel investment properties typically have the characteristic that rental income is subject to certain positive variables over an agreed minimum lease payment: lease payments are based on the highest of a minimum rent and a percentage of the hotel's turnover.
All revenue during 2022 and 2021 has been originated in Norway and Sweden.
The Group received Government grants during 2021 for an amount of MNOK 2.05, as a compensation from the local municipality in Sweden, to partially compensate its loss in revenue due to the COVID restrictions. This grant related to income has been presented as part of the consolidated income statement, under the line item "rental income", as it is the loss of rental income that the grant compensated. No compensation has been granted for 2022.

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except when related to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In such cases, the tax amount is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The Group has applied the main rule for recognition of deferred tax in connection with the purchase of shares in property companies that are not acquired through a business combination. This means that deferred tax is recognised as the difference between the tax value and accounting value of investment property in the subsidiary, and value changes of the investment property. Not recognised deferred tax linked to initial recognition exemption for investment properties per 31 December 2022 is MNOK 175.1 (MNOK 151.5 in 2021).

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business, equity interests issued by the Group, fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value, or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
An acquisition of entities not comprising any business activities is viewed as a purchase of assets. The acquisition cost is allocated to the acquired assets and no deferred tax is calculated for temporary differences that arise at their initial recognition. Acquisition related costs are capitalized with the asset.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting policies
Upon purchase of property management assess whether the purchase constitute purchase of a business or purchase of an asset in accordance with IFRS 3.

During the 2022 reporting period, the Group lent its associates funds in the form of loans to finance its investments, in agreement with the other shareholders of the associates.
The loan to its associate Ramstadsletta Utvikling AS has a nominal amount of MNOK 48. The contract does not contemplate the payment of interests. As a consequence, the amount of the loan has been re-calculated to reflect the present value of all future cash receipts discounted using an interest rate similar to the ones beared by the Group (see note 11 for further information), resulting in an amortised cost value of MNOK 38. As the contributions from the other shareholders were of a different nature and amount, the difference between the increase in net assets for the Group, and the contribution made has been considered a financial expense in the consolidated income statement, for an amount of MNOK 2.1
The Company have two classes of shares, ordinary shares and preference shares. As of 31 December 2022, Pioneer Property Group ASA had a share capital of NOK 14,683,023, divided into 9,814,470 ordinary shares and 4,868,553 preference shares with a nominal value of NOK 1 per share for both categories.
The differences between the share classes are differing voting rights and differing rights to the Company's profit. The regulations on voting rights and dividends are decided upon by the Shareholders' Meeting and can be found in the Articles of Association.
The Company's ordinary share confers one vote unlike the preference shares that confer one-tenth of a vote.
The Company's preference shares confer a preferential right over ordinary shares to an annual dividend of NOK 9.50 per preference share per annum which stepped up to NOK 10.00 on 01 July 2022. Dividend payments are made quarterly with NOK 2.375 per preference share (NOK 2.500 after 01 of July), if approved by the Board of Directors based on the authorisation given by the General Assembly. The preference share does not otherwise confer a right to dividend. If the general meeting decided not to pay dividends or to pay dividends that fall below NOK 2.375 per preference share (NOK 2.500 after 01. of July) during a quarter, the difference between paid dividends and NOK 2.500 per preference share shall be accumulated and adjusted upwards with an annual interest rate of 5 per cent until full dividends have been distributed. No dividends may be distributed to the ordinary shareholders until the preference shareholders have received full dividends including the withheld amount.

Current assets and short term liabilities consist of receivables and payables due within one year, and items related to the inventory cycle. Other balance sheet items are classified as fixed assets
/ long term liabilities.
Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.
Fixed assets are valued at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses. Long term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.
Subsidiaries and investments in associates are valued at cost in the company accounts. The investment is valued as cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised if the impairment is not considered temporary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a lather period.
Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsidiaries are recognised in the same year as they are recognised in the financial statement of the provider. If dividends / group contribution exceed withheld profits after the acquisition date, the excess amount represents repayment of invested capital, and the distribution will be deducted from the recorded value of the acquisition in the balance sheet for the parent company.
Accounts receivable and other current receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value less provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts are based on an individual assessment of the different receivables. For the remaining receivables, a general provision is estimated based on expected loss.
The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated as 22 percent of temporary differences and the tax effect of tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets are recorded in the balance sheet when it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be utilized. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognised directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial assets whose cash flows do not relate solely to payments of interest and repayments of principal on the outstanding nominal amount. Gains or losses on these financial assets are recognized through profit or loss.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognised in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period.

We have audited the financial statements of Pioneer Property Group ASA.
The financial statements comprise:
In our opinion:
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of Pioneer Property Group ASA for 8 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on April 16th 2015 for the accounting year 2015.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Description of the key audit matter | How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit |
|---|---|
| Valuation of investment properties | |
| The Group's value of investment properties in the financial statements amounts to TNOK 1 798 709 equivalent to 73,1 % of the group's total assets. The valuation of the properties is performed by an external independent party and is described in note 6 in the financial statements. The amount and the complexity and judgements involved in the valuation, lead us to identify this as a risk area in our audit. |
Our audit procedures included, among others, involving our internal valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by the independent party, in particular those relating to the discounted cash flow model and marked based yield for the rental properties. We also focused on the adequacy of the Group's disclosures about those assumptions to which the outcome of the valuation is most sensitive, i.e., those that have the most significant effect on the determination of the value of the properties. We have also evaluated the independent party's competence and independence in performing the valuation of the investment properties. |
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Board of Directors' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, in our opinion the Board of Directors' report
Our opinion on the Board of Director's report applies correspondingly for the statements on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view, for in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
