AKADEMISKA HUS2INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1–SEPTEMBER 30, 2013: STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Statement by President Kerstin Lindberg Göransson: In the Budget Bill for 2014, a clarified assignment is proposed for Akademiska Hus:

“Akademiska Hus Aktiebolag will own, develop and manage properties for universities and colleges where the pri-mary focus will be on education and research and it will carry on operations compatible therewith. Operations will be run on a commercial basis and will gen-erate a yield that is line with the market by setting rents that take into account inherent operating risks. Akademiska Hus Aktiebolag will work to promote the long-term, sustainable development of university and college campuses.”

The prerequisites presented in our reformulated assignment support our long-term strategy. The focus is on development to achieve greater customer- perceived value and working together with our centres of education to pro-mote their success. Highlighted areas include the importance of greater trans-parency, the focus on sustainability, reinforced interaction with customers and the key role played by Akademiska Hus in reinforcing Sweden as a nation of knowledge.

One of the factors for success is even closer interaction with our customers in project planning and management. Our ambition is to be at the forefront in sus-tainability issues, particularly in the use of energy, where we have considerable scope to make a difference. That is why we are raising the level for one of our energy goals. Our previous energy goal was to reduce purchased energy by 40 per cent to 2025. We are now raising the bar and the new target is a reduction of 50 per cent. At the end of last year we had reached the halfway point.

The new Student Building in Stock-holm, opened in September, has extre m-ely low energy use – just 20 kWh per square metre per year – which is an

excellent example of how we have suc-ceeded in building sustainably.

The investments being made by the major centres of education and research and innovation mean that Akademiska Hus continues to maintain a large project portfolio, which is now worth SEK 25.5 billion. It is still in the Stock-holm and Uppsala regions that the most extensive new construction projects are taking place in research-intensive oper-ations. The largest decided project is Biomedicum in Solna for the Karolinska Institute. The groundbreaking cere-mony on September 24 attracted a great deal of attention in the media. During the period, Aula Medica was commis-sioned on behalf of the Karolinska Insti-tute, which is one of the reasons why the project portfolio has fallen slightly com-pared with the second quarter. No new major projects were added during the period.

A crucial factor in the implementa-tion of the entire project portfolio is the potential to secure financing. In this respect, the ownership situation, the good financial standing and the stable tenant structure put Akademiska Hus in a very good position.

Property management results remain stable. Rental revenue totalled SEK 4,005 million (3,937) and net oper-ating income was SEK 2,721 million (2,765). The net operating income has fallen slightly, due mainly to an increase in operating and maintenance costs. Profit after tax for the period was SEK 2,257 million (1,776). The improvement in profit can be attributed to a positive change in property values and improved net interest income and expense. There has been no change in the properties’ yield levels and this is expected to continue for the remainder of the year.

AKADEMISKA HUS3INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1–SEPTEMBER 30, 2013: SUMMARY AND COMMENTS

Comments on items in the statement of Comprehensive inCome and the statement of finanCial positionThird quarter 2013Rental revenue during the third quarter of the year amounted to SEK 1,319 million (1,288), which can be attributed mainly to commissionings. Operating and maintenance costs increased slightly, amounting to SEK 357 million (320). Net operating income increased by SEK 40 million to SEK 957 million.

Changes in property values totalled SEK 48 million (-35) and net financial income/expense improved to SEK -136 mil-lion (-258), mainly due to changes in the value of financial instruments. Profit for the period was SEK 684 million (449).

Rental revenue Rental revenue amounted to SEK 4,005 million (3,937). The increase can be attributed mainly to the commissioning of newly constructed properties in the Stockholm region, such as the Public Health Building, the Wallenberg Laboratory, Red Cross, Engineering Sciences and the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. The sale of the entire holdings in Kalmar during 2012 and 2013 will have a negative impact on rental revenue to the amount of SEK 42 million on an annual basis.

Rental and vacancy levelsProperty holdings as at September 30, 2013 amounted to 3.2 million square metres of rentable space (3.2), of which 77,000 square metres (82,000) were vacant, resulting in a vacancy level of 2.4 per cent (2.6). The largest individual blocks of vacant space are Mathematical Sciences in Gothenburg total-ling 5,666 square metres, Stora Institutionen, Ultuna hamn in Uppsala totalling 5,351 square metres, and the F–J Buildings

on the Konradsberg Campus in Stockholm totalling 4,498 square metres. The vacant space has a distinctly lower rental value than the average for the holdings. In terms of value, vacant space accounted for only 1.0 per cent (1.0).

LeasesA characteristic feature of Akademiska Hus is long leases with universities and colleges. The average term of a newly signed lease is ten years. At the period-end, the average remaining lease term was 5.1 years (5.2 at the turn of the year). In the case of the large, complex specialist buildings for laboratory and research work, a lease is normally required where a large proportion of the investment is repaid during the term of the lease, which means a lease of ten years or longer.

The dominant customer group, universities and colleges, are stable, creditworthy customers that generate approxi-mately 90 per cent of revenue. All customers that are centres of education, apart from Chalmers University of Technology, have the Swedish government as principal and thus have the highest credit rating.

Operating and maintenance costsOperating costs for the period amounted to SEK 643 million (619), of which media provision amounted to SEK 450 million (429). New buildings were commissioned during the year, which meant an increase in energy use. Akademiska Hus has a large proportion of laboratories, accounting for 34 per cent of the property holdings, which means relatively high operating costs. Several new and redeveloped premises that have come into use in recent years are large laboratories that are more resource- intensive than normal teaching premises. This applies both from an energy point of view and in terms of inspection and mainte-

nance. The very snowy winter has resulted in an increase in costs for snow clearance of approximately SEK 11 million.

Maintenance costs amounted to SEK 462 million (372). The rise can be attributed to increased investment in preventive maintenance, SEK 162 million (113) and project maintenance, SEK 143 million (102). We will continue to implement mainte-nance measures to gradually raise the standard of our prop-erty holdings.

Market developmentThe focus in the property market is on properties with stable cash flows and a low rental risk (long leases, tenants with a good credit rating), which is to our advantage. The geographi-cally diverse Akademiska Hus portfolio offers a good risk spread that can benefit from the growth in strong regional markets, such as university and college towns and cities. There is a strong demand for high-quality properties and these are regarded as a relatively safe form of investment, offering a sta-ble yield in both good times and bad. The majority of Akadem-iska Hus tenants are only affected to a limited extent by tem-porary fluctuations in the economy. The market assessment is that there will be no change in yield requirements during the remainder of the year even if the risk of a rise in yield require-ments cannot be dismissed entirely.

Sweden as a nation of knowledge is changing and larger centres of education are growing as a result of government investment in research and development. They are upgrading their use of premises to achieve greater efficiency and at the same time increase their attractiveness, which is reflected in the very extensive Akademiska Hus project portfolio. Along-side major investments in larger university and college towns and cities, the number of students will fall over the next few years. The number of applicants for places, however, continues to be high. Continuous investment in new production at Akad-emiska Hus, and in particular maintenance and modernisa-tion of existing properties, are taking place to ensure the attractiveness of the property portfolio to tenants. A focus on premises suitable for more general use reduces operating

vulnerability and broadens the range of potential uses, making the campuses more attractive. The majority of Akademiska Hus campuses are in prime locations in attractive towns and cities and the risk to Akademiska Hus in these locations is limited by access to an active, highly efficient rental market.

Through the new Research Bill, the higher education sector will continue to receive a substantial increase in funding in the future, which could counterbalance a possible downturn in education activities. At the smaller centres of education, research grants will not compensate for a possible fall in the number of students and there is greater uncertainty in the long term regarding the need for premises.

Properties (property valuation)The fair value of properties was SEK 57,105 million (54,677). The fair value also includes properties under construction amounting to SEK 4,674 million (4,007). All property assets are reported at fair value. The fair value has been set by means of an internal property valuation of all properties. The unreal-ised change in value totalled SEK 639 million. The fair value per square metre is SEK 16,012, excluding properties under construction (15,495).

There has been no change in the yield requirement or cost of capital during the period. The average yield requirement was 6.4 per cent (6.4) and the average cost of capital was 8.5 per cent (8.6). An external valuation of yield requirements, cost of capi-tal and other valuation variables has been made by DTZ and NAI Svefa. Apart from financial parameters, the property value is affected by factors such as rent levels, net operating income, lease term, property category and type of customer.

The profit-impacting change in fair value for the period is positive, amounting to SEK 491 million (256). The change in fair value includes a realised change in value of SEK 33 mil-lion following the sale of the Rostad and Falken properties in Kalmar and a realised disposal totalling SEK -181 million in respect of demolition at the Department of Bacteriology in Stockholm to allow construction of Biomedicum.

projeCts, investments and salesThe project portfolio totals SEK 25,517 million, of which SEK 21,679 million refers to decided and planned projects and SEK 4,185 million refers to concept projects. ‘Concept pro-jects’ are projects that are considered likely but which remain uncertain in terms of time and scope. SEK 4,674 million of the project portfolio has already been invested. The project portfolio covers future investments over several years and the emphasis is on Stockholm and Uppsala, where there are sev-eral major new construction projects. For further information about major projects, reference can be made to the 2012 Annual Report.

Net investment in properties during the period amounted to SEK 1,695 (2,025) million. The Rostad and Falken properties in Kalmar were sold during the period for SEK 138 million.

finanCinGGlobal economic recovery is taking place at a modest rate. Despite this, the financial markets are weighed down by uncertainty regarding the approach that will adopted by the central banks. On the one hand they have attempted to guide the market in how to adapt to the recovery by adjusting short-term interest rates, on the other hand information regarding the winding down of US bond purchases has generated uncer-tainty. At the same time, the markets have been reminded very tangibly that finance policy and structural problems remain unresolved. This has resulted in rising risk premiums and the forcing up of long-term interest rates.

The Swedish economy has shown some bright spots although overall growth in GNP continues to be low and industrial production has yet to return to pre-finance crisis levels. The global rise in interest rates since the late spring, particularly long-term interest rates, has filtered into the Swedish interest market. Previously anticipated cuts in inter-est rates by the Swedish Riksbank have evaporated. The main

reason is an unequivocal statement by the Swedish Riksbank that household debt and the subsequent long-term effects are the pivotal underlying cause for concern.

Since 2011, there have been issues in Swedish kronor at a fixed rate of interest and with terms of between 15 and 30 years, totalling SEK 3,305 million. The reason for the issues is to ensure very long-term financing of the substantial invest-ment portfolio. Bonds with a maturity and fixed interest period in excess of 15 years are handled within a separate portfolio and with a separate mandate.

Three bond issues have taken place on the Swedish market to date this year:

Net interest income and expense Net interest income and expense was SEK -274 million (-561), which can be attributed mainly to changes in the value of financial derivatives. This is equivalent to an interest cost of 2.4 per cent (4.6) during the period. Changes in value, which were largely unrealised, correspond to a decrease in the cost of capital of 0.3 per cent (-1.3). The interest coverage ratio, calcu-lated on the cash flow impact of net interest income and expense, amounted to 1,162 per cent (670).

Effect of financial derivatives on profitInterest swaps are entered into with the aim of securing the desired fixed interest period in the liability portfolio. The interest and currency risks that arise in conjunction with financing in foreign currency are hedged throughout the whole of the term through currency swaps. There is thus no real exchange rate risk.

The instruments should be reported at fair value (market value) with changes charged to profit or loss. These represent a current value of future cash flow-impacting positions at the interest and exchange rates prevailing at the time of the report. Variations in market values could entail substantial changes in reported net financial income/expense. However, the changes in value for each instrument will decrease gradu-ally as time passes and will be eliminated completely by the maturity date.

Comparison of the present financing cost with the previous calculation base The graph on the previous page shows a comparison between the financing cost that is reported according to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (IFRS) and a calculation where the effect of financial derivatives on profit is allocated to a specific period over the term of the underlying instrument. The com-parison is calculated at annualised percentage rates of inter-est. This rate of interest concurs better with the cash flow impact of financial transactions.

risK manaGementThe Akademiska Hus property portfolio has a strategic risk: campuses have a specific purpose and are not general in the broad sense. Purchases and sales of properties take place to handle the strategic risk in the property portfolio.

Each year, the Akademiska Hus Board decides on long-term development, the strategic plan, the competitive situation and total risk exposure. The Board has routines and processes in place to check how the organisation handles the risks that can arise in business operations. This means that risks can be identified, analysed, assessed and handled effectively. Major disputes are reported on an ongoing basis to the Board of Directors.

An Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in, among other things, matters concerning financial risk, reporting and control as well as property valuation. In addi-tion, a Finance Committee follows and prepares in more detail the handling of the financial risks.

As regards changes in value, reporting according to IFRS means that the properties are recorded at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position and that changes in value affect the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The value of the properties is determined by general market factors such as risk premiums as well as availability and demand on the prop-erty market and specific changes in the properties.

Rental revenue is assured through leases that are long in comparison to the industry in general. The average term for a newly signed lease with Akademiska Hus is ten years and the average remaining lease term is 5.1 years. Rents from state customers account for approximately 90 per cent of the rental revenue and these do not represent a credit risk. Compared to other property companies, the level of vacant space is very low. Specialist buildings for research and development frequently have leases of 10 years or longer that repay the whole of the investment and there is very good potential for extending the lease. In other respects, the aim is to have general premises that can be easily readjusted for alternative uses.

Around half of the cost of media provision is passed on to tenants. The use of power is price hedged and purchase takes place directly through Nord Pool. The property holdings are well maintained and maintenance planning takes place for each individual building.

Akademiska Hus carries on financing operations with well-adapted strategies, striking a balance between financial risks and a low financing cost. The Finance Policy lays down the long-term strategic orientation, allocation of responsibility, the Group’s approach to financial risks and the mandates that are in place to handle these risks. The Financial Risk Manage-ment Plan includes authorisations and mandates as well as concrete financing plans. The handling of the interest risk in the liability portfolio takes place within a separate fixed inter-est mandate.

For a more detailed description of Akademiska Hus’s risk management, reference can be made to the Annual Report for 2012.

oBjeCtives and profitaBilitYThe owner’s financial objectives have been set as follows:• The return on average equity should be equivalent to the

average five-year government bond interest rate plus four percentage points viewed over a business cycle.

• The dividend target is 50 per cent of the profit after financial items, excluding unrealised changes in value with a deduc-tion for current tax.

• The equity ratio should be between 30 and 40 per cent.

Over the past five years, the average return on equity has been 5.9 per cent whilst the target was 6.4 per cent.

Events after the reporting periodNo events of a material nature occurred after the end of the reporting period.

AKADEMISKA HUS13INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1–SEPTEMBER 30 2013: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

PARENT COMPANYAkademiska Hus AB is the Parent Company in the Akademiska Hus Group. Operations comprise mainly owning and managing university and college properties. In December 2012, a merger took place with the subsidiaries that owned and managed the properties within the Group.

Revenue and profit/lossThe Company’s revenue totalled SEK 4,086 million (87). Of this figure, income from regional companies amounted to SEK 0 million (87). The profit/loss before financial items was SEK 1,698 million (-17) and net financial income/expense was SEK -369 million (1,004). The profit after financial items was SEK 1,330 million (987).

InvestmentsInvestment in machinery and equipment amounted to SEK 2 million (2) and in properties SEK 2,070 million (0).

EquityEquity totalled SEK 5,929 million compared with SEK 6,243 million at the turn of the year.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLESAkademiska Hus complies with the EU-endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations made by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). This Interim Report for the Group has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the recommendation of the Financial Report-ing Board, RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

Unless stated otherwise below, the accounting principles and computation methods are the same as the accounting prin-ciples used in the most recent Annual Report.

Revised IAS 19: Employee Contributions – Defined Benefit PensionsThe revised IAS 19 (IAS 19R) is applicable from 2013. IAS 19R contains guidelines on how taxes payable on pension benefits must be reported and consequently the statement from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council, UFR 4 Accounting for Special Employer’s Contribution and Tax on Returns, is no longer applied. A new statement from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council for account-ing for tax on returns is applied – UFR 9 Accounting for Tax on Returns.

The revised IAS 19 means that actuarial gains and losses must be reported directly in Other Comprehensive Income. In accordance with the transitional rules, Akademiska Hus has recalculated the comparison figures and adjusted opening equity. The effect as at January 1, 2012 was SEK -89 million after account was taken of deferred tax and the special employ-er’s contribution. As at December 31, 2012, the effect was SEK -85 million and previously reported amortisation of an actuar-ial loss of SEK -4 million has instead been reported in Other Comprehensive Income as the corresponding positive effect of reported net profit for the 2012 financial year (after tax and the effect of the special employer’s contribution). It is also stated in

IAS 19R that when calculating the defined benefit pension cost in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, expected yield on plan assets is no longer an assumption that must be reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. In the light of the fact that Akademiska Hus only has unfunded defined benefit pen-sion schemes, this change will not have any material impact on the financial result for Akademiska Hus.

The revised IAS 19 has also resulted in amended principles for reporting of termination benefits. However, this change has not had any effect on the Akademiska Hus financial state-ments.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires further information in Other Comprehensive Income with the result that items in Other Comprehensive Income are grouped into two categories: a) items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss and b) items that will be reclassified to profit or loss if certain criteria are satisfied. The application by Akademi-ska Hus of the amendments introduced in IAS 1 can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Profit of Loss and Other Compre-hensive Income. These changes have only affected the presenta-tion of items reported in the Profit or Loss and Other Compre-hensive Income but have not had any effect on reported profit or loss or financial position for 2012 and nor are they assessed to have any effect on future reporting of profit or loss.

Revised IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: DisclosuresIn accordance with IFRS 7, financial assessments valued at fair value must be placed into different value hierarchies. They are classified in a hierarchy comprising three different levels based on the information used to measure their fair value. The categorisation is the same as stated in the Akademiska Hus Annual Report for the 2012 financial year, Note 35.

IFRS 13 Fair Value MeasurementThe new IFRS 13 standard replaces previous guidelines on fair value measurement included in each standard. The standard applies in conjunction with fair value measurement of both financial and non-financial items, i.e. mainly properties and financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (“exit price”). IFRS 13 has been applied on a future-oriented basis with effect from January 1, 2013. The impact of the introduction of IFRS 13 has not had any material effect on the valuation of assets and liabilities reported at fair value.

Other IFRS amendmentsWith the exception of the above, no new or amended IFRS or interpretations from IFRIC have been applied or had any material effect on the financial position, financial results or disclosures at the Group or Parent Company. Akademiska Hus has opted not to apply IFRS 10–12 or the amended standards IAS 27 and IAS 28 in advance and will instead apply these with effect from January 1, 2014.

The proce-dures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assur-ance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. An opinion based on a review therefore does not have the certainty of an opinion based on an audit.
