Akelius Fastigheter AB is the parent company of the Group, with the properties owned directly by the parent company or through subsidiaries. Operating surplus of SEK 1,067 m The Group s rental income for the financial period increased by SEK 85 m to SEK 1,917 m (1,832). The rental market remains strong. The average residential rent for comparable properties in Sweden rose by 4.1 percent during the period, of which 2.75 percent is due to annual rent negotiations while the remainder is a result of upgrading of apartments. The average rent for new leases during the third quarter was SEK 1,097 per square metre and year, which is 14 percent higher than the average residential rent at the beginning of the year. At the end of the period the average residential rent was SEK 1,005 per square metre and year. The average residential cold rent for comparable properties in Germany rose by 5.6 percent during the period. The main part of the increase is due to new leases of upgraded apartments. The average cold rent for new leases for the period was EUR 9.74 per square metre and month, which is 42 percent higher than the average residential cold rent at the beginning of the year. At the end of the period, the average rent for residential properties was EUR 7.24 per square metre and month. 4 Interim report January to September 2011
By the end of September the vacancy rate for apartments was 2.0 percent, although 70 percent of these apartments were vacant due to upgrading. The real vacancy rate was thus 0.6 percent, which is unchanged compared to the vacancy rate at the end of December 2010. Property costs were SEK 850 m (877), corresponding to a reduction of SEK 27 m. Of property costs, SEK 175 m (176) comprised maintenance, corresponding to an average annual cost of SEK 88 (96) per square metre. The operating surplus for the period increased by SEK 112 m to SEK 1,067 m (955). The operating surplus margin was 55.6 percent (52.1). Revaluation of derivatives SEK -625 m Interest income for the period, including interest subsidies, was SEK 69 m (69) and financial expenses for the year were SEK -819 m (-793). This gives an interest coverage ratio of 1.27 (1.15). Revaluation of off-balance instruments, interest rate derivatives, totalled SEK -625 m (-527), which was due to decreased interest rates. Property revaluation of 2.9 percent Revaluation of properties was SEK 830 m (254). This represents an increase in value during the period of 2.91 percent (0.91). Of the revaluation of properties SEK 101 m was realised through sales of properties. The total sales price of SEK 657 m was 18 percent above the market valuation of 31, December 2010. Aside from the value growth due to sales, the remaining growth is due to increased rental income, since the required yield for the assessed market values has remained unchanged. Profit SEK 371 m After-tax profit for the period increased by SEK 329 m to SEK 371 m (42). Acquisitions SEK 3,189 m During the period, properties were acquired at a value of SEK 3,189 m (260), of which SEK 1,265 m was attributable to properties in Sweden and SEK 1,924 m to properties in Germany. The average initial yield was 4.9 percent in Sweden and 4.7 percent in Germany. The average acquisition price per square metre was SEK 13,483 in Sweden and SEK 12,372 in Germany. Investments SEK 774 m Investments in the properties totalled SEK 774 m (632), which corresponds to SEK 305 per square metre. During the period approximately 1,800 apartments were upgraded during tenant fluctuation to the standard of Akelius Living, which was 45 percent of all vacated apartments. The upgrade cost was SEK 383 m, or SEK 0.2 m per apartment. Another SEK 229 m was invested during the period in the complete upgrade of properties. One of the larger projects is in southern Stockholm, where a property with 479 apartments is being upgraded. The complete upgrade entails measurements such as new balconies, new bathrooms and kitchens, new roofs and façades, and a new heating system. Other major upgrades, totalling SEK 162 m, included converting commercial units to residential, attic extensions, densification projects, and water and energy saving projects. 5 Interim report January to September 2011
Market valuation of property holdings As of closing day, the market value of all properties was assessed by internal valuation. The valuations are based on a cash flow model for each individual property, with individual assessments of future earning ability and required yield. The cash flow model is based on actual income and expenses adjusted for a normalised future cash flow. Over the space of a year, CB Richard Ellis examines and verifies one third of the internally estimated values. The average required yield in the assessment of residential properties was 4.9 percent in Sweden and 4.8 percent in Germany. For commercial properties, the average required yield was 6.6 percent in Sweden and 6.4 percent in Germany. The average required yield for the total portfolio was 5.1 percent, which is slightly lower than at the beginning of the year. This is due to more rapid growth of the market values in Germany, which has a lower required yield. The required yield for each property remained unchanged during the year, however. The assessed market value of the Group s property holdings as per closing day was SEK 32,734 m (28,394), which corresponds to SEK 12,357 per square metre. The market value has increased by SEK 830 m due to revaluation, corresponding to 2.9 percent, and by SEK 204 m due to exchange rate fluctuations, corresponding to 0.7 percent. Aside from SEK 101 m earned through the sale of properties above market value, the revaluation of SEK 729 m is otherwise completely down to increases in rental income. Changes in property holdings have increased the market value by SEK 3,306 m. Investments and purchases amounted to SEK 3,963 m and properties were sold for a total of SEK 657 m. Of the total market value, SEK 23,248 m (21,502) comprises properties in Sweden and SEK 9,486 m (6,892) properties in Germany. Residential properties represent 90 percent (88) of the market value, which is in line with the Group s goal of residential properties comprising at least 90 percent. 6 Interim report January to September 2011

Of the interest-bearing liabilities without security, SEK 240 m comprised loans from the parent company Akelius Apartment Ltd.

Of interestbearing liabilities with security, SEK 3,520 m (683) had an interest rate fixed for less than one year and SEK 9,858 m (10,274) had an interest rate fixed for more than five years.
