HANS WALLENSTAM, CEO

Wallenstam generates results through its own work

"The results so far in 2020 shows that Wallenstam's business is performing very well. Thanks to our business model, we can also generate results in more uncertain times through our own work. We are continuing to deliver and can be proud of what we do. We are gradually continuing to create value, for society, our customers and our shareholders."

"Our new construction in progress has essentially not been impacted at all by the pandemic but is proceeding as planned. Demand for housing is still enormous in the locations where we operate. At present, just over 120,000 people are in our own queue for our newly produced rental apartments. In the commercial holdings, there is uncertainty regarding the most exposed sectors. For us, it is shops and restaurants in the ground floors of our properties that are facing the toughest situation, while there is strong demand for our office space."

Important events third quarter

The quarter 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. See more on page 4.

During the quarter, construction started of 85 apartments in Kv. 10 in Kallebäcks Terrasser in Gothenburg, which means that about 800 apartments are now under construction in the urban development project. Of the 85 apartments in Kv. 10, 12 units consist of so-called co-living apartments with a total of 121 rooms for rent.

In total, 145 apartments were completed and occupied during the quarter. In the Parkstråket 1 project, which involves 154 apartments, of which 17 are co-living apartments with 85 rooms for rent, 36 apartments were completed and occupied. Of the Söra Kvarter project's total of 305 apartments, 109 units were completed and occupied during the quarter.

On September 1, the property Österåker Hagby 1:98 was taken into possession, which consists of land for future new production.

In September, Wallenstam issued a green bond, consisting of SEK 300 million with a maturity of two years and with a fixed interest rate of 0.695 percent. The bond is unsecured.

On September 30, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held in Wallenstam, where a resolution was passed on a dividend of SEK 0.50 per share for the 2019 financial year.

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 September 30, 2020, the net asset value per share was SEK 95.10, which represents an increase of SEK 3.80 per share during the first three quarters of 2020 and SEK 15.90 per share 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 30,715 million (29,501) 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 5,589 million (5,322) is recognized in the balance sheet, which consists of a deferred tax asset of SEK 360 million (387) and a deferred tax liability of SEK 5,949 million (5,709).

Results through our own work

The results so far in 2020 shows that Wallenstam's business is performing very well. Thanks to our business model, with efficient management, successful letting and cost-efficient new construction, we can also generate results in more uncertain times through our own work. During this very unusual time with the pandemic, all employees have contributed in a fantastic way! We are continuing to deliver and can be proud of what we do.

New production that creates value

Demand for housing is still enormous in the locations where we operate. At present, just over 120,000 people are in our own queue for our newly produced rental apartments.

Our new construction in progress has essentially not been impacted at all by the pandemic but is proceeding as planned. What has been affected in the new production process is the municipalities' processing times. These have become longer, which for us has meant that we were not able to start many of our projects at the rate we had wanted. No projects have been cancelled, but the starts have been brought forward as a consequence of this.

We are still not making any changes in the value of our existing holdings. It is our new production that is showing value growth – once again a confirmation of how our business model generates value even in more uncertain times.

Demand for office space in the inner city

In the commercial holdings, there is uncertainty regarding the most exposed sectors. For us, it is shops and restaurants in the ground floors of our properties that are facing the toughest situation, while there is strong demand for our office space.

There have been many discussions about how the pandemic has changed the way of working and how it will look in the future. My experience after these months is that many, yes, nearly everyone actually, appreciates the office as a workplace, particularly as a social meeting point. But for the individual, it is also very nice to have the flexibility to be able to work from home when needed.

Office rents in inner city locations in Gothenburg, unlike Stockholm, are on a par with renting newly produced office space. In such a situation, many choose the inner city. One possible scenario is that developers will choose to pause larger planned new construction projects of office space in the Gothenburg region, rather than the inner city losing tenants.

In the case of ground floor premises, it is important for us to be as active as possible. We work close to our customers and keep in close contact with them in order to follow their business so we can respond quickly in the event of changed circumstances. We also work on a long-term basis with plans for every property, where we identify different solutions that can be realized over time, for example, to convert the second floors of shops into offices or transform retail space into housing.

Wallenstam's contribution to a green restart

For a long time, Wallenstam has had challenging environmental goals for the operations where we reduced our carbon footprint, among other ways, through being self-sufficient in renewable energy since 2013. We have now drawn up four new climate targets that we will focus on in our business plan:

  • Wallenstam shall reduce $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions from its construction operations by 10 percent per square meter.
  • Wallenstam shall reduce $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions from the properties' energy consumption by 15 percent per heated square meter.
  • Wallenstam shall reduce the properties' residual waste by 10 percent per square meter.
  • Wallenstam's business trips shall be carried out using electric car, train or via completely carbon-neutral and biofuel-based air travel.

In addition to these four climate targets, we have decided that all bonds that we issue in the future must be green bonds.

The future looks bright despite the pandemic

The pandemic is by no means over and we are all facing a period of continued change. Despite the many clouds that remain on the horizon, I am optimistic and confident about the future for Wallenstam. Our properties are found exactly where we want to have them – in attractive locations in our selected regions Gothenburg, Stockholm and Uppsala. Our business model where we create value through our own work is functioning well. We have huge demand for our apartments.

In addition, we replenished our pipeline with exciting new projects during the year, where we are driving forward our plans in order to provide the market with even more new homes. We are gradually continuing to deliver value, for society, our customers and our shareholders.

3 WALLENSTAM | INTERIM REPORT JAN 1-SEP 30, 2020


Property structure, new construction and financing

Wallenstam entered the crisis early in the year with a strong position both in terms of 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 capital market. In order to provide security and ensure that we can continue our operations with investments in new construction as planned, we chose early on, already in the first and second quarters, to secure our financing for the rest of the year. Our bond maturities during 2020 are matched 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 could be better assessed. In September, an Extraordinary General Meeting was called, where a resolution was passed on a dividend of SEK 0.50 per share for the 2019 financial year. Wallenstam has major investment plans in new production of residential properties and wants to be prepared for the business opportunities that may arise in the near future. In combination with these opportunities, it is positive to also be able to give the shareholders a balanced dividend in view of the fact that the pandemic is still underway.

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. However, the municipalities' processing times have become longer, which for us has meant that we were unable to start our planned projects at the rate we had wanted. No projects have been cancelled, but the starts have been brought forward as a consequence of this.

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. During the third quarter, we were able to complete a number of new lettings, primarily office space.

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 place, 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 total, we provided 15,000 lunches and 4 tons of drinks, energy bars and various small snacks in this way. 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 the third quarter, we mainly offered deferrals, and also provided support to some more tenants, which are covered by the government's expanded list of exposed sectors. In total, the year's rent discounts and other support related to Covid-19 amount to about SEK 33 million.

During the third quarter, we applied for support for the commercial tenants defined by the state which we provided different kinds of discounts to. Up to and including closing day, we received just over SEK 2 million which was also recognized as income, while the remaining part is being processed by the County Administrative Board.

The payment of the rents for the fourth quarter is in line with a normal quarter. To date, we have not noticed any increases in bankruptcies among tenants as a consequence of Covid-19.

Employees

Wallenstam is following the Public Health Agency of Sweden's recommendations and holds regular pulse meetings with experts from within the healthcare system in order to prevent, handle and limit the risk of spread of infection. From the middle of March until August, both of Wallenstam's offices were closed for external visits. Our offices are currently open for pre-booked visits. Wallenstam is flexible regarding the possibilities for employees to work from home, depending on the employee's needs and wishes in relation to both the work situation and commuting possibilities. Many business trips have been replaced by digital forms of meeting, however, we began to allow certain business trips after the summer. In June, our personnel were invited to take a test for antibodies. The digital, virtual viewings prior to letting of our new construction projects that we introduced during the second quarter will continue in the future.

Note 1 – 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

JULY 1-SEPTEMBER 30

Rental income during the third quarter amounted to SEK 536 million (510), an increase of 5 percent. New construction and net acquisitions and divestments generated SEK 19 million in increased revenue. In comparable holdings, revenue increased by SEK 7 million compared to the previous year. During the quarter, the first payments, of just over SEK 2 million, were received for rent support. We have also provided support of about SEK 2 million to some more tenants, which are covered by the government's expanded list of exposed sectors. As it is uncertain if, when and how much government support will be disbursed, we will recognize these items in line with receiving payment.

Operating expenses increased as a result of additional recently produced properties and higher charges. Net operating income increased by 5 percent to SEK 424 million (403), which corresponds to a surplus ratio of 79.1 percent (79.0).

Net financial items investment properties amounted to SEK -66 million (-56) and were affected negatively by higher interest-bearing liabilities. This was partly due to advance financing as a consequence of the prevailing situation as well as higher STIBOR rates and higher interest rates in the commercial paper market during the period.

Income from property management amounted to SEK 310 million (304). Changes in value of properties were positive and amounted to SEK 187 million (460) and came entirely from our new construction operations (198).

Swap interest rates have increased marginally during the third quarter. The development in value of interest rate derivatives was positive, SEK 11 million (-178).

Profit after tax for the third quarter of 2020 amounted to SEK 344 million (463), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 1.1 (1.4).

JANUARY 1-SEPTEMBER 30

Rental income

Rental income for the period increased by SEK 65 million, 4 percent, and amounted to SEK 1,576 million (1,511). Rental income growth during the period came mainly from occupations in our recently produced residential apartment buildings as the existing holdings were affected by 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 91 percent (91). 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 372 million (352) 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 6 million lower during the period compared to the same period in 2019. Net operating income increased by SEK 45 million or 4.0 percent and amounted to SEK 1,205 million (1,159). Added efficient new production accounted for this growth as the existing holdings were affected by temporary discounts. The surplus ratio was 76.4 percent (76.7).

Management costs and administrative expenses

Management costs and administrative expenses totaled SEK 181 million (185) and are distributed among property management, SEK 168 million (163), energy management, SEK 8 million (16) and property transactions, SEK 5 million (6).

Financial income & expenses

Financial income amounted to SEK 3 million (4) and financial expenses totaled SEK 196 million (166) and are distributed among property operations and other, which mainly consists of natural energy. Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 83 million (60).

The average debt for the year was SEK 3.3 billion higher

than the previous year, due to continued investments in new construction. The average interest rate on closing day, which reflects future interest to pay in relation to our loans, was 1.27 percent (1.23). This was higher compared to the previous year mainly due to a period of higher STIBOR rates and higher interest in the commercial paper market. At the end of the period, we noticed that the credit market has recovered, which was reflected in the average interest rate on closing day which was 13 points lower than at the end of the second quarter. During the period, the average interest rate amounted to 1.31 percent (1.20).

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, also generated annual dividends and a realized 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 57 million (90) 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 15 percent in total compared to the previous year, and amounted to 313 GWh (271). 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 616 million (1,009) and came entirely from gradual value growth in our new construction (505).

Unrealized changes in value, financial instruments

The unrealized change in value of financial instruments in the income statement includes changes in value of interest rate and electricity derivatives and holdings of listed shares.

The value of interest rate derivatives developed negatively during the period, SEK -238 million (-599). On closing day, the 10-year swap rate amounted to 0.29 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 increased during 2020. The unrealized development in value including costs connected to the scheme, amounted to SEK 44 million (35) during the period. To date, the total recognized obligation for the scheme amounts to SEK 97 million (52).

Taxes

The tax expense for the period, which consists in its entirety of deferred tax, amounted to SEK 266 million (248) 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 10 million (10) 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.

Development during the period

During the year, we invested a total of SEK 3,346 million (2,837), of which SEK 3,283 million (2,805) in investment properties and SEK 63 million (32) in development properties. New construction projects in progress involve 2,939 apartments. The total value of rental apartment and development projects in progress amounted to SEK 7.3 billion (5.8) on closing day.

The right of use value for land granted with site leasehold rights has been estimated at SEK 476 million (402) and is recognized as a part of the properties' value.

Investment properties

Changes in value affected the value of investment properties positively by SEK 616 million (1,009) in total, of which the entire change during the period came from value growth in properties under construction (505).

The average yield requirements were impacted marginally since the previous report, due to changes in the property holdings which vary with projects in progress.

On closing day, the average yield requirement amounted to about 4.5 percent for the commercial holdings and to about 3.1 percent for residential properties in operation. The value of investment properties amounted to SEK 56,226 million (52,354) at the end of the period.

Development properties

Development properties include the co-op apartment project New York at Gärdet in Stockholm and three remaining apartments in the Vasagatan 33 project in Gothenburg. The book value of Development properties amounted to SEK 291 million (175) 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.

We see that demand for central office space in Gothenburg is still stable. Retail and restaurant space has been impacted to a greater extent by the ongoing pandemic, which has accelerated the shift, for example, for commerce.

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.

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 cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation for the period amounted to SEK 57 million (57). Estimated value in use of land leases, based on minimum rents, amounted on closing day to SEK 16 million (17) and is recognized as part of the wind power value. On closing day, the consolidated book value of wind turbines amounted to SEK 1,052 million (1,109). The renewable energy certificate inventory and guarantees of origin amounted to SEK 2 million (14) on closing day.

FINANCING

Equity

Shareholders' equity, including non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 24,766 million (23,794), equivalent to SEK 77 per share (74). The equity/assets ratio was 42 percent (44).

Interest-bearing liabilities

On closing day, outstanding bond loans amounted to SEK 3,785 million (3,950), the outstanding volume of commercial paper, with a framework amount of SEK 4 billion, amounted to SEK 2,090 million (3,993), utilized loans from the European Investment Bank totaled SEK 1,000 million (-) and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted

to SEK 27,011 million (24,302), 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 1.3 billion (1.0) of green bonds.

All the bond loans of SEK 3,785 million (3,950) 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.

The average remaining fixed interest term is 38 months compared to 40 months during the year-earlier period. Of the loan portfolio, 47 percent (42) of the loans have fixed interest terms longer than one year. On closing day, the average interest rate on our loans was 1.27 percent (1.23).

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 the loan from the EIB and for the credit commitment for the commercial paper program.

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 588 million compared to a net indebtedness of SEK 349 million on December 31, 2019. Of this, interest rate derivatives accounted for SEK -588 million (-350), electricity derivatives for SEK 0 million (2) and currency derivatives for SEK 0 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 on entry into the contracts. The total volume of outstanding interest rate derivatives, where Wal- lenstam 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 1,289 million (928). 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. During the quarter, we opted to reduce the backup facility for commercial paper from SEK 4,000 million to SEK 3,000 million, since we have a lower volume of outstanding commercial paper. The Group's approved and unutilized credit facilities totaled SEK 4,500 million (6,500).

On September 30, 2020, accessible liquidity totaled SEK 5,789 million (7,428), of which SEK 2,090 million (3,993) represents a credit commitment for issued outstanding commercial paper.

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 September 30, 2020, the estimated market value of the properties amounted to around SEK 56 billion. A change in value of plus/minus 10 percent is thus equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 5.6 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.

A change in the interest rate of plus/minus 50 points is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 71 million.

A change in the electricity price of 1 ore per kWh is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 39 million during valuation of wind turbines, while a change in the renewable energy certificate price of 1 ore per kWh is equivalent to about SEK +19 million or SEK -12 million 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 0.8 million.

In June, an agreement was signed on the divestment of Wallenstam’s new construction project New York in Stockholm. The buyer is a 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, Barn i Nöd (Swedish International Help for Children) and Bethlehem Church. During the year, the Rescue Mission in Gothenburg received contributions and discounts equivalent to SEK 3.3 million, and Bethlehem Church received SEK 0.2 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 there is uncertainty about how this support will be allocated, possible remuneration will be recognized when payment is received.

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.

WALLENSTAM | INTERIM REPORT JAN 1-SEP 30, 2020


Review report

To the Board of Directors of Wallenstam AB (publ)
Corp. id. 556072-1523

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Wallenstam AB (publ) as of 30 September 2020 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
