CEO´s comments

2016 was the strongest year in the history of Wihlborgs. 2017 has started even stronger and Wihlborgs can again report positive results and a stronger balance sheet for the first quarter.

Rental income grew to SEK 540 million and income from property management to SEK 261 million, up nine and ten percent respectively.

The rental market remains very strong. Net lettings were up SEK 23 million for the quarter. We have leased about 60 percent of the new-build project Sirius 3 in the Nyhamnen area in Malmö. 70 percent of the Posthornet 1 project, which we are building in Lund, is leased and we have noted strong demand in both of these projects, which will be complete and fully let at the end of 2017 and in early 2018 respectively. The project portfolio was expanded during the quarter by the acquisition of the Bure 2 property in

Hyllie, Malmö, where we plan to build approximately 6,800 m2 of office space. We will also extend the Dockan property in Malmö, where Tyréns has its office. Add to this the 9,000 m2 we are building at the Gimle 1 property in Hyllie, where tenants will include the Swedish Customs, and the 4,000 m2 we are adding to Helsingborg's district court at Polisen 4 in Helsingborg, then we have the foundation for continued healthy growth.

The average interest expense is largely unchanged compared with the previous year end. In January, we raised SEK 500 million via Svensk FastighetsFinansiering with a fixed-interest rate of 0.50 percent for two years and in March we issued our own two-year bonds for SEK 400 million with a variable interest rate at 1.10 percent over Stibor. We feel that access to financing remains good, both via the banking system and via the capital market.

By virtue of our lettings, our investments and acquisitions, the value of our properties increased to SEK 33.2 billion. Our improved results are also evident in an even stronger balance sheet. At the end of the quarter, our equity/assets ratio amounted to 34.8 percent and the loan-to-value ratio to 53.0 percent. A strong balance sheet offers us both stability and an opportunity to leverage future business opportunities. Our EPRA NAV per share is now SEK 199.

I am also pleased to see that our sustainability work is yielding results. Despite growth, our CO2 emissions are decreasing in absolute terms, and per square metre these fell by 35 percent in 2016 compared with the preceding year.

With the continuing positive economic development in the Öresund region, an attractive project portfolio and a stable financial base, we also see excellent opportunities to generate profitable growth moving forward.

Anders Jarl, CEO

Market comments

Globally, there are signs of a stronger economic upturn in developing economies. Global growth is expected to reach 3.4 percent for 2017 and 3.6 percent for 2018 according to the Swedbank Economic Outlook from 6 April 2017. Risks are primarily political and geopolitical. Growth in emerging markets is supported by commodities and reforms, and though inflationary pressure is on the increase, it will remain low in many regions. Sweden's growth is expected to slow slightly and reach 2.8 percent for 2017 and 2.4 percent for 2018. The labour market is strong with a high level of employment growth. Sweden has strong government finances but its structural policy is inadequate and in considerable need of long-term structural reform. In Denmark, growth is expected to reach 1.6 percent for 2017 and 1.3 percent for 2018.

Lower central wage agreements will limit the rise in inflation and mean the Riksbank remains in a difficult situation. A tentative increase in interest rates has begun as foreign central banks slowly retreat. This will support the Riksbank in initiating its cautious turnabout. Swedbank expects the first raise in interest rates to take place in spring 2018 and that a zero rate will not be reached until the end of 2018.

According to Datscha, transaction volume in the property market for the first quarter exceeded volume during the same period in 2016 by as much as 18 percent. Metropolitan areas account for almost two-thirds of transaction volume. There are plenty of active buyers and volume is limited by market supply, with a shortage of objects to acquire. There is no sign of a slackening in the flow of capital as the Riksbank's signals indicate continued low interest-rate levels. The inflow of foreign capital increased to 31 percent from 25 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Uncertainty in European markets, not least in the euro area and the UK, strengthens the perception among foreign investors that Swedish properties are a safe haven.

Income, expenses and profits, Jan–Mar 2017

Rental income

Rental income was SEK 540 million (497). Other revenues from property management was SEK 1 million (1) relating to payments for early lease termination.

Property costs

Assets

Property portfolio as of 31 March 2017

The summaries below are based on Wihlborgs' property portfolio as of 31 March 2017. Rental income relates to contracted rental income on an annual basis as of 1 April 2017.

The surplus ratio is based on the properties' earning capacity on an annual basis based on rental income for April 2017, operating and maintenance costs, property administration on a rolling twelve-month basis, property tax and leasehold rent.

Wihlborgs' property portfolio consists of commercial properties in the Öresund region, located in Malmö, Helsingborg, Lund and Copenhagen. The property portfolio 31 March 2017 consisted of 286 properties (282) with a lettable area of 1,858,000 m2 (1,849,000). Ten of the properties (10) are leasehold rights. The properties' carrying amount was SEK 33,217 million (32,755), which corresponds to the estimated market value. The total rental value was SEK 2,358 million (2,349) and the contracted rental income on annual basis SEK 2,155 million (2,137).

The rental value for Office/Retail properties represented 76 percent and Industrial/Warehousing properties 23 percent of the total rental value.

The operating surplus from managed properties, excluding property administration and Projects & Land, is SEK 1,712 million (1,697) which with a carrying amount of SEK 31,628 million (31,449) corresponds to a direct return of 5.4 percent (5.4). Broken down by property category, this is 5.0 percent (5.0) for Office/Retail and 7.4 percent (7.3) for Industrial/Warehousing.

Changes in values of properties

According to an internal valuation, with external support from Malmöbryggan Fastighetsekonomi, of the properties on 31 March 2017, their value had risen by SEK 56 million (303).

Fair value is determined by a yield-based method. The value is considered to correspond to the yield value that is calculated from normally five-year cash flow analyses. The value of newbuild projects in progress is determined as the value as if the project were complete, less deduction of the remaining cost. Undeveloped land is valued according to the comparable sales method.

As of 31 March 2017, the carrying amount for the properties was SEK 33,217 million.

Basis for key ratios

The basis for the key financial ratios in ongoing use by Wihlborgs and for which established financial targets apply are shown below. The following financial targets have been established by the Board:

  • A return on equity that exceeds the risk-free interest rate* by not less than six percentage points, which means 6.0 percent for Q1 2017, 6.0 percent for Q1 2016 and 5.8 percent for the full year 2016.
  • The loan-to-value ratio is not to exceed 60 percent.
  • An equity/assets ratio of no less than 30 percent.
  • An interest coverage ratio of no less than 2.0.

*) Risk-free interest rate is defined as the rate on a 5-year Swedish government bond.

KEY FIGURES & DEFINITIONS

Some of the financial metrics that Wihlborgs presents in the interim report are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Wihlborgs is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management, since they enable evaluation of the company's performance. As all companies do not apply the same approach to calculating these financial metrics, they are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies.

Accordingly, these metrics should not be viewed as replacements for metrics defined under IFRS. On the next page, definitions of metrics are presented that, with a few exceptions, are not defined in accordance with IFRS.

Definitions

Key financial ratios

The key ratios are based on the statements of income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flow. Some of the historic data is compiled from the historical summary on page 14.

Return on equity

Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding noncontrolling interests. Average equity refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to shareholders' equity.

Return on total assets

Earnings before interest, value changes in derivatives and taxes (EBIT) as a percentage of average total assets. Average total assets refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to the total assets employed.

Equity/assets ratio

Equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. The ratio provides a measure of the financial strength of the company.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management, plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. The ratio measures the degree to which earnings can decline without jeopardising interest payments or, alternatively, how much interest expense can increase before income from property management becomes negative.

Loan-to-value ratio, properties

Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.

Debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing liabilities relative to equity. Interest-bearing liabilities correspond to borrowings in the balance sheet. The ratio illustrates the relationship between borrowings and equity and, thereby, the gearing and financial strength.

Surplus ratio

The operating surplus, excluding payments for early lease termination, shown as a percentage of rental income. In the income statement, the item "other income" is used for payments for early lease termination. The ratio illustrates the proportion of rental income that remains after deducting property management costs.

Investment yield

The operating surplus, excluding payments for early lease termination, shown as a percentage of the properties' average carrying amount. The average carrying amount refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In the income statement, the item "other income" is used for payments for early lease termination. In interim reports, the yield is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio illustrates the yield on the property portfolio without taking account of its financing costs.

Share-related key ratios

Earnings per share for the period

Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share before tax

Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Income from property management per share

Income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Cash flows from operating activities per share

Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Equity per share I

The relationship between the closing balances for equity and the number of shares at the end of the period.

Equity per share II

Calculated as Equity per share I, but not charged with deferred tax. Equity is increased by the addition of the carrying amount for deferred tax liabilities.

EPRA NAV (long-term net asset value) per share

Equity per share following the reversal of interest-rate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.

Dividend yield per share

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.

Total yield per share

Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.

P/E ratio I, multiple

Market price per share divided by earnings per share. The multiple is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

P/E ratio II, multiple

Market price per share divided by income from property management, charged with nominal tax at 22 %, per share. The multiple is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

Property-related key figures*

These key figures are based on the property table on page 10. The table shows the estimated rental value, rental income and property expenses on an annualised basis with an unchanged property portfolio, rental income and lettings portfolio compared with the end of the last quarter.

Rental value

Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.

Estimated investment yield

Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.

Rental income per m2

Rental income on an annualised basis divided by lettable area.

Operating surplus per m2

Operating surplus divided by lettable area.

Economic occupancy rate

Rental income as a percentage of rental value.

Estimated surplus ratio

Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.

*) These key ratios are operational and are not regarded as alternative key ratios according to ESMA´s guidelines.
