Invitation to Fabege´s presentation of the Interim report Jan-Mar 2026

Fabege will publish its interim report Jan–Mar 2026 on 23 April 2026 at 07:30 CET and will host an audiocast and teleconference at 09:00 CET where President & CEO Bent Oustad and VP & CFO Åsa Bergström will present in English followed by Q&A. The audiocast link is provided and dial-in details will be distributed separately. This is a routine investor-relations event; market impact depends on the report contents rather than the event itself.

Analysis

Focus your read-through on three forward-looking line items rather than headline GAAP metrics: (1) re-leasing spreads and new-signed rent levels in Stockholm CBD micro-markets, which determine cashflow trajectory over 6–18 months; (2) development completions and project capitalization timing—one quarter of delivery slippage can push capex into a higher rate environment and compress near-term FFO by mid-single digits; (3) debt maturity profile and interest-cost repricing windows through 2027, which are the single biggest toggle for NAV sensitivity when rates move.

Second-order winners if the report surprises positively are contractors and specialist office refurb players focused on transit-oriented assets; losers are peripheral landlords with older stock because tenant flight-to-quality accelerates faster than headline occupancy numbers suggest. Watch indexing mechanics (CPI-linked clauses) and timing of pass-throughs: a positive CPI print will lag cash receipts by one to two quarters but materially improve NRI on rolling basis.

Tail risks live in covenant and refinancing cliffs — a covenant waiver or larger-than-expected debt discounting would be a binary negative over weeks, whereas a modest operational beat (higher retention, lower vacancy) tends to re-rate within 30–90 days as capital recycles to defensive urban core assets. The immediate market reaction will be driven by guidance clarity on leasing velocity and explicit commentary on near-term funding plans; absent that clarity expect headline volatility and relative-value opportunities vs Nordic RE peers.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Event-driven tactical: Buy a small size long equity position in Fabege (FABG.ST) equal to 2–4% portfolio weight ahead of the release, paired with a 25–35bp cost protective put (30-day, ~3% OTM) to limit downside. Target 15–25% upside on a meaningful operational beat; loss limited to ~3–4% if guidance disappoints.
• Relative-value pair: Long FABG.ST / Short CAST.ST (Castellum) for 3 months — overweight Stockholm transit-oriented exposure vs broader Swedish industrial/suburban portfolio. Aim for 200–400bps of relative outperformance; cut if FABG misses re-leasing metrics by >150bps QoQ.
• Credit hedge: If report signals funding stress (widening guidance on interest costs or LTV), buy 1–2 year protection via corporate bonds of higher-quality Nordic RE names or increase cash bond shorts in Fabege’s 2–5y tranche. Expected payoff: asymmetric if refinancing narrative triggers >100bp spread widening within 3 months.
• Re-rate capture: If management gives clear funding path and leasing beat, scale into 6–12 month call exposure (or add to core long) to capture re-rating versus NAV — planned take-profit at 20% absolute or 300bps contraction in yield; stop-loss if occupancy declines >200bps or declared covenant breach.
