Heba continues to strengthen results

We willingly accept our responsibilities at Heba and are taking action to contribute in our areas of expertise

  • safe and secure homes, sustainability and stable finances. In recent weeks, Heba has carried out all pre- viously announced sales. In so doing, we have freed up nearly SEK 2bn in capital that we will use to reduce our leverage. We have gathered the strength to withstand a protracted period of high interest rates with no need to raise additional capital. In addition, we have deliv- ered income from property management of SEK 222.9m for the first three quarters of the year, an improvement by 20.4% compared to last year.

In uncertain times, we believe it is essential to be transparent to the market. Accordingly, we set new financial targets in the third quarter for the period of 2023-2025. After 2025, we will focus on new growth targets designed for a more stable market. Until that time, Heba will deliver income from property management of SEK 200m or better, adjusted for income from commonhold apartments; maintain LTV below 50%; ensure an NOI margin above 70%; increase the share of consolidated NOI generated by public buildings; and distribute minimum dividends of 40% of income from property management adjusted for tax. Our strategy for the past five years is working. Even though we sold nearly 25% of our residential properties in 2023, we can still deliver income from property management on par with the best Heba has ever achieved. The underlying key figures show that we are a stronger company with greatly improved earnings capacity. In addition, almost 25% of Heba's NOI is generated by our senior living facilities.

The bottom line for income from property management was SEK 222.9m, an improvement by more than 20% over the same period last year. The property management margin was 51.0% (49.7).

With its strong financial position, Heba will stand firm in times of economic uncertainty.

HEBA FASTIGHETS AB

Business environment

Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine and the war that has now broken out between Hamas and Israel are causing indescribable human suffering. In Sweden, callous and cold- hearted gang crime is out of control. Inflation and interest rate hikes, punishing increases in tariffs and tax increases starting in 2024 are having serious impact on businesses and consumers alike. Who is taking responsibility for what is happening in our society? As a landlord, we are working actively with matters related to safety and security and the results are illustrated by Heba's security index of 87.4%. The police must take responsibility for putting criminals behind bars and society must show restraint in matters of taxes and fees.

Property owners must shoulder tremendous responsibility, considering that rent increases do not cover all cost increases. Once again this year, the Swedish Union of Tenants is asking all property owners to exercise restraint in their demands. Even before the steep increases in costs, residential property was a stable, low-margin business. It is thus important that we are able to work under reasonable commercial terms and condi- tions. The Union of Tenants' monopoly on negotiations and subsidised rent-setting on older residential properties need to stop. The system is currently leading to housing shortages, lock-in effects and longer waits in housing queues.

Heba in the first three quarters

Heba generated net operating income of SEK 315.3m for the period, an increase of 19% compared to the same period last year. The NOI increase is primarily attributable to an increased number of properties, which generated growth of 17% in rental income. The NOI margin ended at a record-high for Heba of 72.2% (71.2). Income from property management for the period was SEK 222.9m (195.2). A comparison to the corresponding period last year shows that the explanation is found in the positive trend in income from commonhold apartments, which has outweighed the steep increase in interest expenses. If income from commonhold apartments is excluded, however, income from property management has decreased by 9% compared to the same period in 2022.

New builds and renovations at Heba

We completed Älvdansen in Enköping, a property of 154 rental apartments, in Q3. Tenants also moved into the 40 apartments at the climate-friendly renovated Penn­ teckningen property on Gullmarsplan during the quarter.

When the economy turns around Heba, with its long-term approach and low risk, is a company to be reckoned with.

Our renovation project in Huddinge, comprising about 400 rental apartments, will be completed in 2024. Following our property sales within the renovation programme, we have only 100 apartments in two properties left to be renovated. In addition, we have one new build project in the planning stage that will be started if finances permit.

Market value

The total market value of the company's properties as at 30 September 2023 was SEK 14,331.9m, as compared to SEK 15,718.2m at the same date in 2022. The change in value is due to a combination of property sales and a negative change in value due to the market situation. The change in value for the first three quarters of the year was -6.4%, of which almost 1% is attributable to a change in the value of properties for which sales have been agreed but not yet closed. There have been few deals closed due to market con- ditions, which makes it difficult to pin down the yield requirements on which property valuations are based.

Financing

We maintained strong focus on financial matters. The average rate of interest for our current borrowings is 2.57% (1.85) and we have interest rate-hedged 83% (61) of our total interest -bearing liabilities of SEK 6.9bn (7.3). We received about SEK 1,045m in proceeds of our property sales in October and our current focus is to reduce our interest-bearing liabilities.

Sustainability

Energy use remains low at Heba. Energy use for the first three quarters of 2023 was 85 kWh/m2.

In partnership with the contractor, Husab, we have tested solutions and methods for reducing climate impact in connection with renovations in our Pennteckningen pilot project. When we compare the project with an earlier renovation

project­ for which a climate estimate was performed, the improved choices of materials and methods reduced climate impact by 30%. In addition to choosing the optimal products and materials, we focused on waste management, especially increasing recycling of plastics. We were able to recycle a full 47% of plastic materials generated in the project - far above the industry average of 2.5%. A report on the project will be published this autumn.

Climate risks were inventoried for all properties in Q3. Planned activities for the next year are based on the annual climate inventory.

A stable market participant

Heba is a stable company that will, thanks to its dynamic capacity and proactive measures, demonstrate its strength over upcoming years. Heba takes social responsibility by providing safe, secure and economical housing and taking strong action to protect the environment. With its strong financial position, Heba will stand firm in times of economic uncertainty. It is only reasonable to briefly pause growth, but when the economy turns around Heba, with its long-term approach and low risk, is a company to be reckoned with.

Heba is the safer, more secure landlord!

Increased profitability through growth while maintaining financial stability

Four reasons to invest in Heba

New financial targets

Heba's annual financial targets, 2023-2025:

  • Income from property management above SEK 200m excluding income from commonhold apartments.
  • LTV ratio below 50%.
  • NOI margin above 70%.
  • Increase the share of consolidated NOI generated by public buildings during the period.
  • Annual dividend of at least 40% of income from property management, adjusted for tax.

1Desirable properties in attractive locations with potential

With its concentrated holdings of residential rental properties in the Stockholm-Mälaren Region, Heba is in prime position continue increasing earnings capacity in the existing portfolio by means of efficient management and a total concept for renovation, rebuilds and additions.

Modernisation and maintenance of the properties are oriented towards sustainabil- ity, with additional focus on saving energy and opportunities to create new housing units in existing buildings. This is also expected to generate rising property values over the long term.

2Increased share of new builds and public buildings with higher property yield

Heba is maintaining its focus on new builds and public buildings. Total investment volume for ongoing rental property and senior housing projects is about SEK 1.6bn, including ongoing and planned projects in 2023-2030. If all projects are carried out, it will generate NOI of about SEK 76m p.a. The number of geographical areas within the Stockholm-Mälaren Region will increase over time. Demand for public buildings is rising steadily for reasons including the ageing population in Sweden. Heba is targeting an increase in the share of consolidated NOI generated by public buildings during the period of 2023-2025.

3Strong financial position and cost-effective borrowing provide scope for profitable growth

Heba has stable underlying cash flow and a good financial position. As the company is listed and has access to a range of cost-­ effective financing options, Heba has the capacity to sustain long-term growth without its growth ambitions being limited by the target of long-term LTV below 50%.

4Stable dividend level

Heba will achieve growth while maintaining value growth and financial performance that safeguards dividends to shareholders. The company's target is for an annual dividend of at least 40% of income from property management adjusted for tax during the period of 2023-2025. Over the past ten years, the dividend has been at 39-73% of income from property management after estimated tax.

Long-term and sustainable corporate citizen

Sustainability is reflected in everything Heba does, today and in the future, proceeding from our responsibility as an employer, our social responsibility and our environmental responsibility. The ESG programme is meant to ensure that the company meets its long-term ESG objectives in alignment with the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Future-proofing the business is intertwined with successful enterprise.

Overall ESG targets

Our targets are:

  • Heba shall be committed to an active sustainability programme that is reflected in everything the company does. In the day-to-day work as well as the company's long-term approach to property development and management. Property manage- ment shall be climate-neutral by 2030 and all operations by 2045.
  • Heba shall have satisfied tenants with a service index on par with our above the median value for privately owned housing companies in large cities.
  • Heba shall be perceived as an attractive employer that encourages skills develop- ment and cooperation among its employees.

Our three focus areas

1Our organisation

2Our role in society 3Our environment

Our employees are our most important resource. Making sure that each and every one of our employees can thrive and develop ensures long-term sustainability. Heba is working actively to be an equal and inclusive workplace that creates the conditions for a sustainable, customer-oriented com- pany. Our working environment shall be safe and secure from the physical, psychological and social perspectives. Heba takes a proactive approach to avoiding occupational accidents and illness and preventing risks.

The foundation of our role in society is running Heba's business in an ethically, socially and environmentally responsible manner. We offer an opportunity for a safe, secure and suit­ able home to people of all ages and with a variety of needs for social care and service. We are also committed to social initiatives through partnering with and donating to charity organisations whose work is compatible with our business.

Heba's long-term sustainability target is for property management to be climate-neutral by 2030 and for the entire organisation to be climate-neutral by 2045. Heba supports the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement. Limiting the indirect emissions of the business is the most important component for attaining that goal. It is also important to ­prepare the organisation for various scenarios caused by climate impact.

Bredäng

Heba and Åke Sundvall Byggnads AB are running a com- monhold apartment project in Bredäng through a partnership agreement. Construction of the project began in Q4 2020.

The total impact on profit from investments in jointly controlled entities is SEK 52.1m. An agreement with Resinova Bostads AB on the sale of the third building, which includes 56 rental apartments, was signed in June 2023. The deal was executed as a corporate transaction in which Resinova will acquire the shares and thus, indirectly, the properties. The planned exit date is 30 November 2023.
