Wihlborgs Interim Report

January-June 2009

Business concept

Wihlborgs shall own, manage and develop commercial properties with a focus on well-functioning sub-markets in the Öresund region.

Overall objectives and strategies

Wihlborgs aims to be the leading and most profitable property company in the Öresund market.

Comments on the Öresund region market

The Öresund region has never before grown as quickly as it did in 2008. The population increased by 33,700. The largest growth in population was in Själland which increased by 18,300 whereas the population of Skåne increased by 15,400. To give comparisons of the increases, the population of Denmark excluding Själland and its islands grew by 17,400 whereas the population of the county of Stockholm grew by 31,700 in 2008.

The Öresund region is now in its first economic recession since the Öresund Bridge was opened in 2000. The Öresund Institute expects 85,000 jobs to disappear over the next two years – 62,000 on Själland and 23,000 in Skåne. But the figures for the region are falling from a high level. 115,000 jobs have been created over the last four years. This is why we expect the level of employment at the end of 2010 to still be higher than in 2005.

In April 2009, there were 40,000 unemployed people in Denmark and 25,500 in Skåne. The labour market in the Öresund Institute's principle scenario will normalise after a period of "over-employment". The region's growth potential will increase over a period of a few years. Structural change will contribute to a number of companies and parts of the labour force looking for growth regions with a future. This will mean that Malmö's and Copenhagen's business and commerce will eventually find it easier to recruit manpower.

The Öresund Institute is of the opinion that, in the middle of the crisis, there is evidence that the Öresund Region will cope relatively well and there are green shoots of an underlying faith in the future. This is confirmed by the population growing by more than ever before. The City Tunnel in Malmö will be officially opened next year and this will bind the two parts of the region together. The decision on the major materials research facility ESS in Lund and the synchrotron facility Max IV has been reached. This will make the region the centre for materials research in Europe. A metro ring will be constructed in Copenhagen. The Fehmarn Belt link will be officially opened in 2018. More companies and several Nordic head offices will be established in the region.

The transaction volume on the Swedish property market declined during the first quarter. The decrease was 76 per cent in the country as a whole. There is, however, a clear trend that the largest transactions in terms of volume take place in the three conurbations according to a report by Jones Lang LaSalle.

The previous strong growth in the labour market has had a positive effect on the vacancy level for offices. In the region's main urban areas there is now more or less a balance between supply and demand. However, the decline in employment will affect vacancy figures in the future. The vacancy level of offices in central Malmö and Västra Hamnen is currently 5-6 per cent.

A total of 58,000 m2 of offices will be completed during 2010 and 2011 in Malmö. This new production will have only a marginal effect on the vacancy level in central Malmö. The majority of the newly-built areas are already contracted by businesses that come from outside the central areas. And, in the case of premises that will become vacant, new lease agreements have already been signed.

Lease costs in Malmö remain stable and there is more or less a balance between supply and demand. The leasing costs of modern office premises in central Malmö are around SEK 2,000 per m2. At Västra Hamnen the level is still SEK 1,950 – 2,100 kronor per m2. Lease costs for other office premises in central Malmö are in the range of SEK 1,400 - 1,850 per m2.

Income, expenses and result

Comparision figures for income statement items relate to values for the same period as at 30 June 2008 and balance sheet items as at 31 December 2008.

Lease income

Lease income amounted to SEK 621 million (579). The sum includes SEK 3 million that relates to the final settlement for 2008 for supplementary debiting. Other increases in lease income can be explained by index linking, renegotiation, new leases, lease income from properties that were acquired during 2008, and properties that were completed. The total growth in lease income amounted to 7 per cent compared with 2008.

The leasing level is 93 per cent and remains unchanged compared with 31 December 2008.

Net leasing remains positive. During the period, the signing of new lease agreements on a full-year basis amounted to SEK 60 million (61). Notices of termination during the period were SEK 42 million (33).

Property costs

The total property costs were SEK 178 million (170).

Net operating income

The net operating income amounts to SEK 443m (409), which is a surplus ratio of 71 per cent (71).

Central administration

Costs for central administration was SEK 15m (15).

Property sales and changes in values

A total of three properties were disposed of during the period for a total purchase price of SEK 113m. The purchasers will take possession of the properties Altona 5, Altona 22 and Macken 12-14 during the third quarter of 2009.

The valuation of the properties as at 30 June 2009 has been carried out internally and has resulted in the property net value decreasing by SEK 7 million (30 June 2008 an increase by 55).

The changed accounting rules have meant that construction of properties in progress for future use as buildings held for investment purposes shall be shown at true value according to IAS 40. Buildings held for investment purposes were not given a market value during construction but were shown as accrued expenses. The completed project properties have therefore been valued at a total of SEK 201 million. In total, the value of buildings held for investment purposes have been adjusted downwards by a total of SEK 208 million.

The yield on office properties now amounts to 6.6 per cent and warehouses to 8.5 per cent.

Net financial items

The period's net financial items excluding changes of value in derivatives amounted to SEK -174m (-167), of which lease income amounted to SEK 4m (3).

Interest costs for the period, SEK -178m (-170), correspond to a borrowing rate of interest of 4.19 per cent. At the end of the period, the average interest amounts to 3.10 per cent including the effects of derivative instruments.

Agreements have been reached during the period on a higher loan margin with the company's lenders.

The parent company has made investments during the period amounting to SEK 276 million (12). These investments are primarily in shares in subsidiaries.

Income and balance statements for the parent company can be found on page 14 in this interim report.

Significant risks and and uncertainty factors

Wihlborgs' activities, financial position and profit are affected by a number of risk factors. The risks that represent a decisive impact on the company's profit growth are variations in lease income, changes in rates of interest, growth in costs, property valuation and taxes. To this is added the liquidity and borrowing risk. Refer to pages 48-49 and 63- 64 of Wihlborgs 2008 annual report for a detailed description of the company's risks. The described risks can be affected ahead by finance turbulence and business recession.

Accounting principles

Wihlborgs applies the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and the interpretation of these (IFRIC), adopted by the European Union.

The interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles and methods of calculations are the same as were applied in the last annual report unless stated otherwise below.

New accounting principles 2009

The revised IAS 1 on the presentation of financial statements came into force on 1 January 2009. The changes mean that income and costs that were previously shown directly against equity are now shown in a separate report directly after the income statement. In future, only transactions related to shareholders and overall result are shown in a separate section. A further change is new designations of the financial reports. These are not compulsory however. Wihlborgs has chosen to retain the previous designations.

The current building of properties for future use as buildings held for investment purposes shall, in the future, be classified as buildings held for investment purposes and therefore shown at true value according to IAS 40 if other buildings held for investment purposes are valued according to the true value method. Buildings held for investment purposes were not previously valued at market value while being built but were shown as accrued expenses.

Other new or revised IFRS and interpretation statements were not considered to have had any great effect on Wihlborgs' financial reports. The latest annual report gives further descriptions of new and amended accounting principles.

"They responded and wanted to help"

Sita is one of Sweden's largest companies in recovery and waste management. Around 90 people, including contract drivers, work in Helsingborg where Sita has its largest branch. The property houses a number of offices and about 50 vehicles and, regrettably, frequent burglaries and considerable vandalism were experienced over a number of years.

– On average we experienced two incidents a week in the form of break-ins and theft, tells Departmental Manager Michael Liverstam with hardly-concealed annoyance.

– It was Wihlborgs who took the initiative since they were aware that there were problems throughout the area. When they asked if I would like an electric fence around the property I jumped at the chance. We have not suffered a single incident since Wilborgs installed the fence in January 2008!
