Wallenstam is positioned for future opportunities

"It has been an active quarter for Wallenstam. Apart from agreeing on the divestment of our cooperative apartment project Kv. New York comprising 50 apartments that are under construction, we have managed to acquire land for future housing production in attractive locations."

"Net operating income increased by just over 3 percent to SEK 781 million (756), even though we gave rent discounts of about SEK 30 million to our tenants that are operating in the most exposed sectors. Income from property management during the first half of 2020 amounted to SEK 549 million (547), which was slightly more than the year-earlier period. Now we all have to wait and see regarding future developments. However, I can confirm that Wallenstam has a stable financial position, properties in attractive locations and a well-functioning business, which is creating value. Thanks to this strong basis, we also have the ability to capture the opportunities for the future that arise along the way!"

Important events second quarter

The second quarter of the year was dominated by the continuing effects of Covid-19, which has had a significant impact on people, the business community and public policy both in Sweden and in the rest of the world. The economic consequences of the pandemic have impacted the quarter's results. See more on page 4.

An agreement was signed with 14 companies within the Länsförsäkringar Group that they will acquire Wallenstam's newly constructed property New York at Gärdet in Stockholm. The property is recognized as income and is scheduled to be taken into possession by the Länsförsäkringar companies on December 15, when the property is expected to be completed.

During the quarter, Wallenstam acquired a number of plots of land and site leasehold rights, transactions that will enable future new production. Three site leasehold rights were acquired in Gothenburg, and land was acquired in Uppsala and Täby. The latter transaction represents Wallenstam's entry into a new municipality.

On June 30, Wallenstam signed an agreement on the acquisition of additional land in Österåker Municipality, for urban development involving construction of housing and services.

Goal 2023 – Increase in net asset value of SEK 40 per share

In the business plan 2019–2023, Wallenstam's goal is to deliver an increase in net asset value of SEK 40 per share. The goal is measured from October 1, 2018 when the net asset value per share was SEK 79.20. On June 30, 2020, the net asset value per share was SEK 93.80, which represents an increase of SEK 2.50 per share during the first half of 2020 and SEK 14.60 in total to date during the business plan.

Net asset value

Net asset value describes the Group's total generated value and includes equity and deferred tax liability and amounted to SEK 30,295 million (27,047) on closing day. Deferred tax liability refers mainly to differences between carrying amounts and residual values for tax purposes in Group properties. A net deferred tax liability of SEK 5,488 million (4,733) was recognized in the balance sheet, which consists of a deferred tax asset of SEK 385 million (418) and a deferred tax liability of SEK 5,872 million (5,151).

Comments by the CEO

We are investing for the future – and acting now

It has been an active quarter for Wallenstam. Apart from agreeing on the divestment of our cooperative apartment project Kv. New York comprising 50 apartments that are under construction, we have managed to acquire land for future housing production in attractive locations. During 2020, we expanded our project portfolio with possible future housing production, and at present the portfolio includes about 16,000 apartments. These projects have different time and planning horizons.

So far 2020 has naturally been dominated by the ongoing pandemic, and all in all, it has been one of the toughest and most dramatic half years in my career. It has involved a lot of work and concerns about people's health as well as the national economy and social development. I would like to thank all our employees who have worked really hard during this period. The company's ambition has been to act as responsibly as possible, where for example, we have given support to our tenants in the form of rent discounts. We have also purchased 15,000 lunches from our restaurateurs – lunches that we have then donated to several different aid organizations such as the City Mission and the Rescue Mission. We have also donated 4 tons of drinks, energy bars and candy to the Intensive Care department at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg.

Income from property management for the first six months was in line with the previous year

Net operating income increased by just over 3 percent to SEK 781 million (756), even though we gave rent discounts of about SEK 30 million to our tenants that are operating in the most exposed sectors. We are now applying for rent support for the discounts given and the support we receive will constitute revenue in the coming quarters. The payment of the rents for the third quarter is like a normal quarter.

Profit was impacted by an increased interest expense of about SEK 20 million, due to increased borrowing for our investments and an increased liquidity reserve. Income from property management during the first half of 2020 amounted to SEK 549 million (547), which was slightly more than the year-earlier period.

The situation for our tenants

There is a sense that the situation is improving somewhat for our commercial tenants. As regards office premises, we see that demand is still good, and we have also let office space and conducted many viewings during the second quarter. The retail segment has faced the toughest situation, where it was already difficult for many businesses even before. It seems like the effects of the pandemic are accelerating the shift in the sector. We are following and managing this shift, and for example, we can reconstruct the upper floor of a two-floor store into office space.

On the residential side, it feels very stable. Demand for our rental apartments has increased during the year and we now have more than 100,000 people in our own queue. There has been great interest in the virtual viewings we have introduced in our new construction projects during the spring. Since this has been so successful, it will also be an important tool in our letting operations going forward.

Valuation of our properties

In light of the prevailing uncertainty, it feels reassuring to have a mix in our property holdings of about 50 percent residential properties in attractive residential areas and 50 percent commercial properties in central Gothenburg.

Overall, we have not recognized any changes in value in our existing holdings during the quarter. Some smaller adjustments in the property holdings have been made. Among other things, the value of residential properties was adjusted upwards due to improved net operating income, and the commercial properties with the lowest yield requirement have been adjusted, so that the lowest is now 4.0 percent compared to 3.8 percent previously. At the end of the quarter, the average yield requirement still amounted to about 4.5 percent for commercial properties and about 3.2 percent for residential properties.

As previously, our cost-efficient new construction is still generating value on an ongoing basis in line with continuing production. During 2020, new construction has contributed SEK 429 million (307) so far.

A strong basis generates opportunities

Now we all have to wait and see regarding future developments. However, I can confirm that Wallenstam has a stable financial position and the basis to meet the challenges that may arise. I am convinced that the business of our commercial tenants in the center will slowly but surely come back, as customers return. Our new construction operations are progressing as planned, at an undiminished pace, and demand for our rental apartments is still strong, both for existing apartments as well as newly produced ones. Thanks to this strong basis, we also have the ability to capture the opportunities for the future that arise along the way!

Property structure, new construction and financing

Wallenstam entered this crisis with a strong position both in terms of its financial stability and well-located property holdings in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Uppsala. Approximately half of the holdings consist of residential and half of commercial.

Secured liquidity is particularly important during uncertain times. Our choice to retain a larger proportion of loans in banks, even though the capital market has been cheaper, has provided us with a good platform to stand on when it gets shaky in the market. In order to provide security and ensure that we can continue our operations with investments in new construction as planned, we have now already chosen to secure our financing for the rest of the year even though it makes us somewhat front-loaded in our financing on closing day. We will match the bond maturities which we have during 2020 with already agreed loans from the European Investment Bank. For the part of the commercial paper, which is not refinanced, we have the possibility of using our backup facility with the bank. Apart from these measures, Hans Wallenstam has waived his salary starting from April and until further notice, and the directors' fees for the members of the Board of Directors are unchanged for 2020. In addition, the Annual General Meeting decided in April not to issue any dividend and wait until the consequences of the pandemic can be better assessed.

As regards new construction of rental apartments, we have worked to secure material and labor for our projects in progress so that they can be completed on schedule. We hold regular pulse meetings with our contractors in order to handle any disruptions at an early stage so that we do not experience any production stoppages, which has proved to work well to date.

Rental income and management

We have evenly distributed property holdings between residential and commercial. Our commercial premises are mainly located in central Gothenburg where there is a continued flow of people, even though Covid-19 had a major impact in the short term. The tenants that are included in the government's list of the most exposed sectors represent about 13 percent of our total rental value.

As a landlord, we always try to work close to our tenants, which also applies in particularly uncertain times and in relation to the challenges that have arisen as a consequence of Covid-19. In the first instance, we have provided support through temporary rent discounts but also by purchasing goods and services aimed at helping the tenants to maintain their regular business. Through these support purchases, we have also had the opportunity to support, for example ambulance and hospital staff with food and drinks as well as various aid organizations in our society such as the City Mission and the Rescue Mission, for instance with food deliveries at a time when they are probably needed most. In those cases where we made purchases to support our tenants, and where what we purchased was donated, we equate this for accounting purposes with a temporary discount. In total, the year's rent discounts and other support related to Covid-19 amount to about SEK 30 million.

After the end of the reporting period, it became possible to apply for support from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning for certain commercial tenants defined by the state. As our discounts have mainly not been conditional on us receiving government support ourselves and as we see that there is great uncertainty about how this support will be allocated, we have chosen not to recognize the possible remuneration that this can provide.

In order to make it easier for the tenants that need it, we have also changed from quarterly to monthly invoicing. In the second quarter, we have mainly provided support through discounts. The payment of the rents for the third quarter is in line with a normal quarter.

We have not noticed any increases in bankruptcies among tenants as a consequence of Covid-19.

Valuation

Wallenstam's strategy is to have a diversified property portfolio between residential and commercial with a high geographical concentration and a focus on our own new construction, something we have seen the benefit of during the past quarter. In our existing holdings, we have not recognized any overall changes in value, during the quarter. Some smaller adjustments in the property holdings have been made. Among other things, the value of residential properties was adjusted upwards due to improved net operating income, and the commercial properties with the lowest yield requirement have been adjusted, so that the lowest is now 4.0 percent compared to 3.8 percent previously. At the end of the quarter, the average yield requirement still amounted to about 4.5 percent for commercial properties and about 3.2 percent for residential properties. The overall development in value of investment properties was positive, which was entirely due to continued growth in our new construction, value which is created in line with the construction and completion of new residential properties. It is therefore reassuring that we have now already secured our financing needs for the year in order to continue this production as planned.

Employees

Since the middle of March, both of Wallenstam's offices have been closed for external visits. Among other measures, employees have worked from home in order to limit the spread of infection and business trips have been replaced by digital forms of meeting. During June, our personnel were invited to take a test for antibodies. We have also introduced digital, virtual viewings of our new construction projects prior to letting.

Note 1 – Bridge Income from natural energy management operations

As from 2019, Wallenstam has changed the presentation in the income statement due to the fact that Natural energy no longer constitutes a separate segment. All comparative periods have been restated. The previous line items "Income from natural energy management operations" have been replaced by the line items "Other income", "Other expenses", and "Financial expenses, other". Profit before changes in value and impairment charges were unchanged compared to previous periods.

Comments on the consolidated income statement

APRIL 1-JUNE 30

The second quarter of the year was unusual in many ways as a result of the pandemic that has affected the world. For Wallenstam, this is reflected in financial terms, not least in the temporary discounts and other support that we have helped our tenants with.

Revenue during the second quarter amounted to SEK 518 million (503), an increase of 3 percent. New construction and net acquisitions and divestments generated SEK 20 million in increased revenue. In comparable holdings, revenue decreased by SEK 5 million compared to the previous year. Revenue was affected by temporary rent discounts equivalent to about SEK 30 million. As it is highly uncertain if, when and how much government support will be disbursed and as we have not made our discounts conditional, we have chosen not to recognize any part of possible future remuneration from the government in this quarter.

Operating expenses increased as a result of additional recently produced properties and higher charges. Net operating income increased by almost 1 percent to SEK 395 million (392), which corresponds to a surplus ratio of 76.3 percent (77.9).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -70 million (-55) and were affected negatively by higher interest-bearing liabilities due to advance financing as a consequence of the prevailing situation and higher interest rates in the commercial paper market.

Income from property management amounted to SEK 275 million (287). Changes in value of properties were positive and amounted to SEK 175 million (264) and came entirely from our new construction operations.

Swap interest rates have continued to fall during the second quarter. This had a negative impact on the development in value of interest rate derivatives, SEK -73 million (-224).

Profit after tax for the second quarter of 2020 amounted to SEK 322 million (235), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 1.0 (0.7).

JANUARY 1-JUNE 30

Rental income

Rental income for the period increased by SEK 40 million, 4 percent, and amounted to SEK 1,041 million (1,001). Rental income growth during the period came entirely from occupations in our recently produced residential apartment buildings as the existing holdings were affected by a high proportion of temporary Covid-19 discounts to commercial customers.

Wallenstam's revenue is evenly distributed between residential properties and commercial premises. Our residential property holdings are fully let. Our commercial properties are situated in central locations in Gothenburg, with offices as our single largest type of commercial premises. The surrender rate, which reflects how large a proportion of the cancellable leases are extended, amounted to 90 percent (93). Our occupancy rate for commercial properties in terms of lettable area amounted to 95 percent on closing day compared to 96 percent at year-end.

Operating expenses & net operating income

Operating expenses for the period amounted to SEK 260 million (245) and increased as a result of additional recently produced properties and increased costs for property operation due to higher charges. Seasonal effects at Wallenstam consist mainly of variable operating expenses. These are usually highest during quarters one and four when expenses for heating and property maintenance are generally higher. Climate-related expenses were almost SEK 5 million lower during the period compared to the same period in 2019. Net operating income increased by SEK 25 million or 3.3 percent and amounted to SEK 781 million (756). Added efficient new production accounted for this growth as the existing holdings were affected by temporary discounts. The surplus ratio was 75.1 percent (75.6).

Management costs and administrative expenses

Management costs and administrative expenses totaled SEK 126 million (128) and are distributed among property management, SEK 115 million (114), energy management, SEK 6 million (11) and property transactions, SEK 5 million (3).

Financial income & expenses

Financial income amounted to SEK 2 million (3) and financial expenses totaled SEK 129 million (109) and are distributed among property operations and other, which mainly consists of natural energy. Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 52 million (38).

NET OPERATING INCOME AND SURPLUS RATIO

WALLENSTAM | INTERIM REPORT JAN 1-JUN 30, 2020


The average debt for the year was SEK 3.2 billion higher than the previous year, due to continued investments in new construction and advance financing. The average interest rate on closing day, which reflects future interest to pay in relation to our loans, was 1.40 percent (1.24). This was higher compared to the previous year mainly due to higher interest rates in the commercial paper market. During the period, the average interest rate amounted to 1.31 percent (1.19).

Realized changes in value, financial instruments

Realized changes in value of financial instruments during the year consisted of the divestment of the Group's holding in Eolus Vind AB, which was sold for SEK 36 million during the second quarter of the year. The holding, which was important for the Group's wind power investments, has also been financially beneficial. In addition to annual dividends, the divestment realizes a profit of SEK 27 million, of which SEK 23 million has been recognized as an unrealized change in value in previous reports.

Income from sales of development properties

A profit or loss from sales of development properties is recognized when the apartment or property is taken into possession by the purchaser. Apart from the cost, selling and marketing expenses are also included, which are expensed as they arise.

Net profit from sales during the year amounted to SEK 50 million (85) and included sales of apartments in the Vasagatan 33 project, individual co-op apartments as well as costs.

Other income & Other expenses

The Group's electricity production as well as additional other income and expenses are recognized as other income and other expenses.

Electricity revenue and electricity expenses for the period were significantly lower than the previous year. This was mainly explained by the divestment of the electricity trading business area. Production of electricity increased, by 18 percent in total compared to the previous year, and amounted to 232 GWh (196). The price of electricity and renewable energy certificates decreased, however, which meant that sales from electricity production were lower compared to the previous year.

Changes in value, investment properties

Changes in value of investment properties during the period totaled SEK 429 million (549) and came entirely from gradual value growth in our new construction in progress (307).

Unrealized changes in value, financial instruments

The change in value of financial instruments in the income statement includes changes in value of interest rate and electricity derivatives and holdings of listed and unlisted shares. The profit/loss is recognized in the income statement apart from changes in value from unlisted shares, which are recognized against other comprehensive income.

The value of interest rate and electricity derivatives developed negatively during the period, SEK -249 million (-421). On closing day, the 10-year swap rate amounted to 0.28 percent, compared to 0.68 percent at the start of the year.

Unrealized changes in value, synthetic options

The Annual General Meeting on April 24, 2018 resolved to introduce a synthetic options scheme directed to all personnel. The term of the scheme runs until May 31, 2024 and the estimated cost in the event of a maximum outcome is SEK 330 million. At the start of the scheme in May 2018, personnel were invited to acquire the allocated number of options at a market price. The value of the synthetic options, which varies with Wallenstam's share price, has decreased slightly during 2020. The unrealized development in value including costs connected to the scheme, amounted to SEK 7 million (-17) during the period. To date, the total recognized obligation for the scheme amounts to SEK 46 million (35).

Taxes

The tax expense for the period, which consists in its entirety of deferred tax, amounted to SEK 164 million (137) net. Tax was calculated at 21.4 percent on current taxable income while deferred tax liabilities and receivables were calculated at the lower tax rate of 20.6 percent that applies starting from 2021. The tax expense for the period was positively impacted by SEK 6 million (5) as a result of remeasurement to the corporate tax rate of 20.6 percent. New corporate taxation rules have not impacted net profit for the year in other respects.

Changes in value affected the value of investment properties positively by SEK 429 million (549) in total, of which the entire change during the period came from value growth in properties under construction (307).

The yield requirements were marginally adjusted from the previous report. On closing day, the average yield requirement still amounted to about 4.5 percent for the commercial holdings and to about 3.2 percent for residential properties in operation. The value of investment properties amounted to SEK 55,127 million (48,757) at the end of the period.

Development properties

Development properties include the co-op apartment project New York at Gärdet in Stockholm and four remaining apartments in the Vasagatan 33 project in Gothenburg. The book value of Development properties amounted to SEK 281 million (155) at the end of the period.

Our markets

The cities in which we do business are characterized by strong growth and heavy demand for housing. Only a minor proportion of our rental apartments become available for rent due to relocation, and demand for finished, newly built rental apartments is high.

We build mainly rental apartments, but also cooperative apartments, for example when the land available for rental apartment construction is limited. Our flexible business model, where co-op apartment sales do not start until the project is approaching completion, makes it possible to convert a co-op apartment project into a rental apartment project if demand for co-op apartments is uncertain.

Despite the ongoing pandemic, we see that demand for central office space in Gothenburg is still stable.

Valuation

Investment properties

Wallenstam measures all of its investment properties internally at fair value. We enjoy good market and property intelligence through active monitoring, which provides us with a firm basis for performing internal valuations of our property holdings. However, we must emphasize that a property's fair value only becomes a reality when the property is sold, for which reason a valuation is always an estimation.

In its assessments of property values, Wallenstam has used different yield requirements. The yield requirements reflect market conditions and differ based on where the property is located and what type of property it is, e.g. housing or offices, etc.

A valuation is calculated based on a property's net operating income including site leasehold rents, set in relation to the yield requirement for each property.

As our properties are valued separately, no consideration is given to the portfolio premium that may exist in the property market.

New constructions of rental properties are measured at fair value, which is determined as cost plus the estimated surplus on the completion date in relation to the degree of completion of the construction. This is in turn based on expenses incurred.

Land rights and building rights for zoned land are measured at market value.

Development properties

Development properties are properties that we intend to construct in order to divest on completion, for example co-op apartment properties. Development properties are recognized at the lower of cost (investments incurred) and the estimated net realizable value. The profit/loss is recognized when the property or apartment is completed and handed over to the buyer.

12 WALLENSTAM | INTERIM REPORT JAN 1-JUN 30, 2020

WIND POWER

On closing day, Wallenstam had 66 wind turbines in operation divided among 20 wind farms. The installed output amounted to 143 MW (143).

Wind turbines are recognized at the lowest of cost less depreciation and impairment losses and the estimated net realizable value. Depreciation for the period amounted to SEK 38 million (38). Estimated value in use of land leases, based on minimum rents, amounted on closing day to SEK 17 million (18) and is recognized as part of the wind power value. On closing day, the consolidated book value of wind turbines amounted to SEK 1,071 million (1,147). The renewable energy certificate inventory and guarantees of origin amounted to SEK 2 million (7) on closing day.

FINANCING

Equity

Shareholders' equity, including non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 24,423 million (21,899), equivalent to SEK 76 per share (68). The equity/assets ratio was 42 percent (43).

Interest-bearing liabilities

On closing day, outstanding bond loans amounted to SEK 3,650 million (3,450), the outstanding volume of commercial paper, with a framework amount of SEK 4 billion, amounted to SEK 2,070 million (3,612), utilized loans from the European Investment Bank totaled SEK 1,000 million (-) and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 26,852 million (23,259), of which lease liability amounted to SEK 493 million (421). Of this liability, SEK 3.5 billion (1.8) consists of green loans, and SEK 1.0 billion (0.5) of green bonds.

All the bond loans of SEK 3,650 million (3,450) are contained within the framework of our MTN program (Medium Term Notes), which has a total framework amount of SEK 5 billion. The terms and conditions of the green bonds are the same as for the other bonds with the addition that the issue proceeds can only be allocated to projects and assets that qualify according to Wallenstam's green framework. The bond loans are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

img-9.jpeg


The average remaining fixed interest term is 39 months (41). Of the loan portfolio, 46 percent (42) of the loans have fixed interest terms longer than one year. On closing day, the average interest rate on our loans was 1.40 percent (1.24).

Financing of the loan portfolio is mainly secured by mortgage deeds for properties. The bond loans and the loan from the EIB are unsecured. The commercial paper program has underlying credit commitments for the outstanding volume of commercial paper at each date. Covenants are issued for this.

Lease liability

The recognized lease liability corresponds to the rights of use for land leases and site leasehold rights. The liability on closing day totaled SEK 493 million (421).

Derivative instruments

Wallenstam's financial derivative instruments consist of interest rate and electricity derivatives. On closing day, Wallenstam had a net indebtedness in respect of derivative instruments of SEK 599 million, compared to a net indebtedness of SEK 349 million on December 31, 2019. Of this, interest rate derivatives accounted for SEK -600 million (-350), electricity derivatives for SEK 0 million (2) and currency derivatives for SEK 1 million (-1).

During 2020, the Group entered into new interest rate derivative contracts totaling SEK 1.05 billion with a maturity of 10.5 years. The total volume of outstanding interest rate derivatives, where Wallenstam pays fixed interest, amounts to SEK 10.8 billion compared to SEK 9.7 billion in the annual accounts.

Interest rate derivatives are used to obtain a desired interest maturity profile in a flexible, cost-efficient way. They are measured through discounting future cash flows at present value based on observable market interest rates

and are classified at level 2. The arising deficit or surplus value for interest rate derivatives, which reflects how the Group's hedged interest rates relate to the market rate of interest on closing day, is recognized in the balance sheet and in unrealized changes in value, financial instruments in the income statement.

Electricity derivatives are used to mitigate the effect of market fluctuations by hedging income for future electricity production. These are measured at market value and the changes in value are continually recognized in the Group in the line item unrealized changes in value, financial instruments. As we do not apply hedge accounting for electricity derivatives, no reversal effect arises in unrealized changes in value in the consolidated income statement in connection with realization of electricity derivatives.

Currency derivatives are used to a limited extent in order to hedge purchasing from foreign countries. Hedge accounting is applied and therefore translation effects are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Available liquid assets

Available liquid assets, including available bank overdraft facilities, amounted to SEK 1,722 million (1,139). Approved overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 800 million (800), of which no portion was used on closing day. At the end of 2019, the EIB (European Investment Bank) approved a credit facility of SEK 2,500 million for new construction of energy-efficient rental apartments. During the period, SEK 1,000 million (-) was drawn down from the facility. The Group's approved and unutilized credit facilities totaled SEK 5,500 million (4,000).

On June 30, 2020, accessible liquidity totaled SEK 7,222 million (5,139), of which SEK 2,070 million (3,612) represents a credit commitment for issued outstanding commercial paper.

  • The AGM granted the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer discharge from liability and in accordance with the proposal of the nomination committee elected Lars-Åke Bokenberger as new Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mikael Söderlund as a new member of the Board. Agneta Wallenstam, Anders Berntsson and Karin Mattsson were re-elected as Board members. Fees to be paid to the Board of Directors were approved of SEK 740,000 to the Chairman of the Board, SEK 260,000 to the Vice Chairman and SEK 160,000 to each of the other Board members. The sums include compensation for committee work.

  • Dick Brenner (chairman), Lars-Åke Bokenberger, Anders Oscarsson and Hans Wallenstam were elected as members of the nomination committee ahead of the 2021 AGM.

Other information

OPPORTUNITIES & RISKS

Wallenstam’s opportunities and risks, and how we manage them, are presented in the 2019 Annual Report on pages 34–39. No significant changes have taken place since then.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

As of June 30, 2020, the estimated market value of the properties amounted to around SEK 55 billion. A change in value of plus/minus 10 percent is thus equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 5.5 billion. A general change of plus/minus 0.25 percentage points in property yield requirements is equivalent to about SEK -3.2 billion or SEK +3.8 billion, while a general change of revenue of 5 percent is equivalent to about plus/minus 2.9 billion (2.8).

A change in the interest rate of plus/minus 50 points is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 72 million (63).

A change in the electricity price of 1 öre per kWh is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 41 million (43) during valuation of wind turbines, while a change in the renewable energy certificate price of 1 öre per kWh is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 21 million (23) during valuation of wind turbines.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Wallenstam’s related parties consist chiefly of Group companies. Board members, company management and their families and the companies they control are also related parties. Transactions with related parties mainly consist of administrative fees and the renting of premises between Group companies. Individuals related to Board members and Group Management rent apartments. Insurance services are purchased from companies where members of Wallenstam’s Board of Directors are Board members, for a total equivalent to about SEK 5 million in net expenditure for the year. The CEO is a joint owner (50 percent) of Aranea Holding AB. Aranea Holding AB owns 48 percent of Renew Group Sweden AB, a floorball equipment manufacturer. Aranea is a tenant of Wallenstam with an annual rental value equivalent to SEK 0.6 million.

A member of Wallenstam’s Board, through his own consulting company, sold consulting hours to Wallenstam for SEK 0.4 million.

In June, an agreement was signed on the divestment of Wallenstam’s new construction project New York in Stockholm. The buyer is a Group company where a member of Wallenstam’s Board of Directors is a board member. The agreed property value amounts to approximately SEK 420 million and the property is scheduled to be taken into possession in December. As part of the agreement, Wallenstam will be responsible for the technical management for a period of two years from the date of taking possession.

Wallenstam’s involvement in environmental and social responsibility issues is described in more detail on pages 27–33 of the 2019 Annual Report. As part of its social responsibility work, the Wallenstam Group not only contributes financially to a number of organizations but also gives its time in the form of e.g. board work. As a result of such board positions, related party status arises in the case of the Rescue Mission in Gothenburg and Barn i Nöd (Swedish International Help for Children). During the year, the Rescue Mission in Gothenburg received contributions and discounts equivalent to SEK 1.6 million. The Rescue Mission in Gothenburg and Barn i Nöd rent premises from Wallenstam equivalent to annual rental income of about SEK 4.8 million and SEK 0.1 million, respectively.

All transactions take place on market-related terms.

ROUNDING OFF

As a result of rounding off, figures presented in this report do not, in some cases, sum up exactly to the total and percentages may differ in order for them to correspond to the actual numerical data.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting principles are unchanged compared to the 2019 Annual Report. The Parent Company’s accounting principles comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 2.

New and amended standards and principles that entered into force on January 1, 2020 or subsequently are not expected to have any material impact on the Wallenstam Group’s financial statements.

Recognition of government support

Government support is recognized in the financial statements when there is reasonable certainty that the company will be able to fulfil the conditions associated with the grants and that these grants will be received. Wallenstam has given discounts to commercial tenants, which are in the categories defined by the government where it is possible to apply for support. As the Group’s discounts have mainly not been conditional on us receiving this support ourselves and as there is uncertainty about how this support will be allocated, possible remuneration will be recognized when it can be calculated with greater certainty.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

No events of material importance for the company’s position have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
