Important events second quarter
During the quarter, 335 apartments were completed and occupied, of which 96 were in the Gothenburg region and 239 in the Stockholm region.
Construction started of 421 apartments in four different projects in Gothenburg, Härryda, Uppsala and Österåker.
During the quarter, Wallenstam obtained a land allocation in Central Nacka, comprising approximately 11,500 square meters for residential and approximately 2,000 square meters for commercial.
Wallenstam has purchased land in Uppsala during the quarter, and vacated three commercial properties in central Gothenburg; two properties that were sold to SBB and one property that was sold to Hammarvikens Fastigheter.
On April 28, the Board of Directors decided to divest the company's 7,000,000 treasury B shares. The shares were sold through a so-called book building process to Swedish and international institutional investors, including AMF and AMF Fonder, Öhman Fonder and Mertzig Asset Management AB, among others. The net proceeds from the sale are intended to further strengthen the balance sheet in light of the company's investment program and to enable further land acquisitions.
During the quarter, Wallenstam's synthetic options scheme directed towards all permanent employees, fell due for redemption. After a positive development of the share price, the options scheme's ceiling of a closing price of SEK 140 was reached on May 24.
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, 2021, the net asset value per share was SEK 104.50, which represents an increase of SEK 6.20 per share during the first half of 2021 and SEK 25.30 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 34,497 million (31,746) on closing day. Deferred tax liability refers mainly to differences between carrying amounts and fiscal values of the Group's properties. A net deferred tax liability of SEK 5,707 million (5,811) is recognized in the balance sheet, which consists of a deferred tax asset of SEK 721 million (377) and a deferred tax liability of SEK 6,428 million (6,188).

Comments by the CEO

Further strengthened balance sheet
During the quarter, we have worked to further strengthen our balance sheet. Both the loan-to-value ratio and the equity/assets ratio are now 45 percent, which means even greater opportunities and freedom of action regarding our ambitious investment program with land acquisitions and new construction. For example, we carried out a number of property sales, and also divested the 7,000,000 repurchased shares that we held in treasury. Over the years, many interested parties have been “tugging at” these shares, and now we decided to divest them. AMF acquired the majority of the shares – they have been with us as a major shareholder for a long time and it feels great that they have confidence in us and wanted to invest further.
Satisfied with the result
I am very satisfied with the result in the first half of 2021, where all the numbers are pointing in the right direction! Our income from property management increased by 11 percent and net operating income by 10 percent. Apart from this, we have created further value of approximately SEK 400 million in our new construction.
During the quarter, our share price reached an all-time high, SEK 148.80, which means that our synthetic options scheme that is directed towards all personnel fell due for redemption at SEK 140 per share. This feels very good, particularly after this year, which was extra challenging and where everyone has given their utmost. I want to express a warm THANK YOU to all my co-workers who are doing a fantastic job!
Strong commercial letting
Our letting is going absolutely brilliantly and we have strong demand, particularly for offices. During the quarter, we have let just over 15,000 sq m of commercial floor space, and the occupancy rate in the commercial holdings has increased and is back at 95 percent. It is noticeable that the city has an attractiveness, and this makes me happy. The number of stores will decrease in line with changing consumption patterns, where e-commerce is growing, but I am convinced that the ground floors will find their businesses and that mingling in the city will return. I do not believe at all in the death of the office as has been speculated about. The way we work is changing perhaps, that we will more naturally spend some of our working hours working from home, but I believe that offices will become more important than ever before. If you think it is important for a company to have a strong corporate culture then the office is absolutely necessary. For creativity and common values we are required to meet. We are also social beings that feel good when we meet!
Cellink will be the anchor tenant in Kallebäcks Terrasser
We were able to recently announce the excellent news that the biotech company Cellink will be the anchor tenant in our newly constructed office property Entré Kallebäck. Occupation will occur in January 2022. This impressive property is located just beside the E6 motorway and commands a view over the whole of Gothenburg. It is a fantastic location in our urban development project Kallebäcks Terrasser, where we will also have constructed 1,800 apartments when the area is ready in a few years.
Strong demand for our rental apartments
Also in this quarter, we have had many occupations in our newly produced apartments. All apartments are let upon completion, and the majority of the new tenants come from our own housing queue where almost 150,000 people have now registered. It is great that interest in residing with us is so strong – while at the same time it is tragic because it suggests that so many people lack a home.
We are doing our best to provide new homes to the market. During the pandemic, several construction starts were delayed due to longer processing times at municipalities and courts concerning, for example, building permits and appeals. These processes are also long normally and unfortunately in the past year they have been even longer. Now I hope that they can catch up and that we can soon return to a more normal situation for Wallenstam of approximately 1,500 apartment construction starts per year.
Increased property values
Residential properties in particular are highly sought-after in the market at present. They are regarded as a secure investment with a lower risk, which is also reflected in our yield requirements. During the quarter, yield requirements for some of our residential properties were adjusted downwards.
Increase in net asset value of SEK 25 per share at half-time
With this second quarter closing, we have reached half-time in our business plan, where our goal is to achieve an increase in net asset value of SEK 40 per share through 2023. To date we have achieved an increase of SEK 25.30 per share, which feels fantastic, especially in light of what we as a company and a society have gone through in the past year. When we established our business plan, it was very challenging – we would deliver very much in terms of net asset value. And we have done it! Our business model is working and is creating stability and value, and we will also continue to deliver going forward.
I have also reached half-time personally speaking – in May I celebrated 30 years as CEO of Wallenstam and now I am aiming for the next 30 years!

day, which reflects future interest to pay in relation to our loans, was 1.20 percent (1.40). During the period, the average interest rate amounted to 1.21 percent (1.31).
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 Exeger Sweden AB (publ), which was sold for SEK 119 million during the first quarter of the year.

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 lower than the previous year. Production of electricity decreased, by 26 percent in total compared to the previous year, due to less wind, and amounted to 171 GWh (232). The price of electricity has increased, however.
Changes in value, investment properties
Yield requirements for a small number of existing residential properties were adjusted downwards by 10 points during the second quarter. Changes in value of investment properties during the period totaled SEK 1,019 million (429), of which SEK 389 million (429) came from gradual value growth in properties under construction and from
the newly produced properties that have been in operation for a shorter period than a full calendar year.
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 positively during the period, SEK 267 million (-249), as a result of rising interest rate levels. On closing day, the 10-year swap rate amounted to 0.76 percent, compared to 0.37 percent at the start of the year.
Changes in value, synthetic options
The Annual General Meeting on April 24, 2018 resolved to introduce a synthetic options scheme directed to all personnel. At the start of the scheme in May 2018, personnel were invited to acquire the allocated number of options at a market price. The term of the scheme was until May 31, 2024 unless the option ceiling of a share price of SEK 140 at the close of trading was reached earlier, which occurred on May 24, 2021 and resulted in the options falling due for redemption. Total costs for the year amounted to SEK 90 million, of which SEK 13 million was recognized as Unrealized changes in value, synthetic options and SEK -103 million was recognized as Realized changes in value, synthetic options. The total cost of the options scheme is estimated to amount to SEK 182 million.

The tax on other comprehensive income was SEK 0 million (1). Income tax was impacted by the period's sales of properties that were put into companies and the possibility to utilize tax depreciation and make direct deductions for some reconstructions of properties. In the second quarter, deficits from acquired companies were measured for the first time as a result of the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court's ruling (7005--7007-19, 7009--7011-19), which had a positive effect on the Group's tax expense of SEK 321 million (-) in total.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet
OUR PROPERTIES
Development during the period
During the year, we invested a total of SEK 2,032 million (2,419), of which SEK 1,988 million (2,372) in investment properties and SEK 44 million (48) in development properties. New construction projects in progress involve 2,186 apartments. The total value of rental apartment and development projects in progress amounted to SEK 5.7 billion (6.4) on closing day.
The right of use value for land granted with site leasehold rights has been estimated at SEK 460 million (476) and is recognized as a part of the properties' value.
Investment properties
Changes in value affected the value of investment properties positively by SEK 1,019 million (429) in total, of which SEK 389 million (429) came from gradual value growth in properties under construction and from the newly produced properties that have been in operation for a shorter period than a full calendar year.
During the quarter, yield requirements for a small number of residential properties were adjusted downwards by 10 points. 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 60,441 million (57,933) at the end of the period.
Development properties
Development properties mainly consist of the co-op apartment project Bandhagen Centrum in Stockholm. The book value of Development properties amounted to SEK 155 million (126) at the end of the period.
Our markets
The cities in which we do business are characterized by 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. For example, we currently have approximately 150,000 people in our housing queue.
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 impacted by the current circumstances but is still stable and showing a positive trend.
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.

ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION AND SALES OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

DISTRIBUTION MARKET VALUE
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 38 million (38). Estimated value in use of land leases, based on minimum rents, amounted on closing day to SEK 15 million (16) and is recognized as part of the wind power value. On closing day, the consolidated book value of wind turbines amounted to SEK 995 million (1,033). The renewable energy certificate inventory and guarantees of origin amounted to SEK 0 million (1) on closing day.
FINANCING
Equity
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 28,069 million (25,558), equivalent to SEK 85 per share (79). During the quarter, Wallenstam sold the 7,000,000 B shares, which were held in treasury. The price amounted to SEK 127 per share, implying a total increase in equity of SEK 883 million, which is SEK 349 million above cost. The equity/ assets ratio was 45 percent (42).
Interest-bearing liabilities
On closing day, outstanding bond loans amounted to SEK 3,000 million (2,800), the outstanding volume of commercial paper, with a framework amount of SEK 4 billion, amounted to SEK 2,780 million (2,470), loans from the European Investment Bank totaled SEK 2,500 million (2,500) and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 27,958 million (27,785), of which lease liability amounted to SEK 476 million (493). Of this liability, SEK 7.6 billion (7.0) consists of green financing, of which SEK 5.5 billion (5.4) of green loans and SEK 2.1 billion (1.7) of green bonds.
All the bond loans of SEK 3,000 million (2,800) are
WALLENSTAM | INTERIM REPORT JAN 1 - JUN 30, 2021
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 40 months compared to 41 months at year-end. Of the loan portfolio, 52 percent (50) of the loans have fixed interest terms longer than one year. On closing day, the average interest rate on our loans was 1.20 percent compared to 1.40 percent on the same date in the previous year.
Financing of the loan portfolio is mainly secured by mortgage deeds for properties. The bond loans, commercial paper 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 476 million (493).
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 247 million, compared to a net indebtedness of SEK 515 million on December 31, 2020.
Of this, interest rate derivatives accounted for SEK -244 million (-512), electricity derivatives for SEK 0 million (0) and currency derivatives for SEK -2 million (-3).
During 2021, the Group has entered into new interest rate derivative contracts totaling SEK 0.6 billion. The total volume of outstanding interest rate derivatives, where Wallenstam pays fixed interest, amounts to SEK 12.75 billion.
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.
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 1,085 million (1,318). Approved overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 800 million (800), of which no portion was used on closing day. The Group's approved and unutilized credit facilities totaled SEK 3,000 million (3,000), excluding the overdraft facility.
On June 30, 2021, accessible liquidity totaled SEK 4,085 million (4,318), of which SEK 2,780 million (2,470) represents a credit commitment for issued outstanding commercial paper.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
As of June 30, 2021, the estimated market value of the properties amounted to around SEK 60 billion. A change in value of plus/minus 10 percent is thus equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 6.0 billion. A general change of plus/minus 0.25 percentage points in property yield requirements is equivalent to about SEK -3.6 billion or SEK +4.2 billion, while a general change in revenue of 5 percent is equivalent to about plus/minus 3.2 billion.
A change in the interest rate of plus/minus 50 points is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 66 million.
A change in the electricity price of 1 öre 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 öre per kWh is equivalent to about SEK +19 million or SEK -3 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 and premises. Insurance services are purchased from companies where a member of Wallenstam's Board of Directors is a Board member, 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.
