Increased efficiency in a recovering market

The European property market is showing signs of cautious recovery and a slight increase of transaction market activity due to improved credit terms and lower interest rates. Macroeconomic conditions are also improving with inflation now under control and lower interest rates. During the quarter, Investment Management generated balanced in and outflows, along with new asset management mandates, which is encouraging in a relatively subdued transaction market. Our stable liquidity and capital position, coupled with strategic organisational adaptations, enhances our preparedness as the market rebounds.

CEO COMMENTS Increased efficiency in a recovering market

The outlook on the transaction market improved slightly in the third quarter, although completed transactions did not increase notably on the European markets. The underlying sentiment is positive and there are indications that that the gap between buyers and sellers' expectations is closing, supporting increased transaction volumes going forward.

The main reason behind a brighter outlook is improved financing conditions and lower capital costs. Although transactions still take a long time to complete, market sentiment suggests that we can expect more and larger transactions looking ahead, as the market slowly but surely prices in lower capital costs.

At macro level, the outlook is also brightening with inflation under control in Europe and the US, and with key central banks in the midst of interest rate cuts. However, the outlook is not as bright in all markets, where some economies, such as Germany, continue to face challenges. In addition, the continued political uncertainty and ongoing conflicts that, besides human suffering, could lead to new inflationary pressure, increased oil prices and disruptions in logistics.

The European property market is showing signs of recovery, with some segments experiencing stabilization or even decreases in yields. This indicates that the negative trend observed over the past two years and the decline in property values may be near a turning point. Given the positive impact of increased transaction market activity across all Catella's business areas, we are encouraged by indications from current dialogues we have across our European markets that a recovery is underway, with sellers' and buyers' price expectations increasingly aligning.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the property fair Expo Real in Munich with other colleagues. In comparison to just six months ago, the sentiment within the sector is markedly more positive, with a notable increase in discussing transactions based on well-founded and genuine interest.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 19 M (32), the decrease attributable to non-recurring costs of SEK 13 M. Adjusted for this, profit was in line with the previous year, despite decreased revenue excluding commissions, assignment and production costs of almost SEK 10 M. The outcome is the result of our initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency and digitalising operations, thus reducing costs.

Balanced capital flows

The Investment Management business area takes pride in having successfully balanced in- and outflows in the core business during challenging times. The majority of capital inflows were generated in Asset Management through the growth of new mandates, where investors appoint us to manage and develop property portfolios and to reposition them in the current and future market. This demonstrates that our business model continues to generate growth opportunities even in a weaker and more hesitant market. The work associated with new investment products continued successfully in the quarter, and we are now moving out of the product development phase and towards actively seeking investments alongside new and high-profile investment partners.

During the quarter, the initiative to merge our two fund management companies – Catella Residential Investment Management (CRIM) and Catella Real Estate AG (CREAG) continued. Theultimate goal is to create a stronger, more efficient and larger fund platform in Investment Management. The merger will result in a more efficient capital raising function, improved coordination of investor relations, and stronger management and analysis capabilities.

Investment Management's assets under management totalled SEK 151 Bn in the quarter, which represents a decrease of SEK 1 Bn compared to the end of the second quarter, primarily driven by exchange rate differences.

Planned divestments

In Principal Investments, the focus continues to be on developing and completing existing projects for divestment. In the fourth quarter, we expect to divest the French development project Polaxis. The divestments will further strengthen our liquidity and open up for new investment opportunities that meet our return requirements.

At the end of September, Kaktus Towers was awarded the prize "Europe's Best Tall Building" by an international jury of architects at CTBUH's (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) conference in London. The award recognises both the building's innovative architecture and its contribution to modern and sustainable residential concepts that satisfy the needs of today and tomorrow. We continue active dialogues with potential investors of a sale of this landmark in central Copenhagen.

Looking ahead, we are evaluating potential investments in both development projects and several European aggregation mandates with capital partners. With valuations stabilizing, we see attractive investment opportunities.

Signs of transaction market recovery

As previously mentioned above, we are beginning to see a brighter transaction market in Corporate Finance, although this has not yet translated into a notable increase in the number of transactions.

While transaction volumes in Europe were up slightly year-onyear, they remain well below the levels seen two years ago, when the downturn began. We are optimistic that the number of transactions will pick up on several markets in the fourth quarter, as this is the most transaction-heavy quarter in historical terms.

Green investments

In support of future green investments in the real estate industry, we established a Medium Term Note-program (MTN) in the quarter. In September, we issued new senior unsecured green bonds at a total amount of SEK 600 M, which attracted significant interest. The new green bonds are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm's list for sustainable bonds. The issue is the first under our green bond framework.

In the quarter, we also continued the process associated with the implementation of CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) - a new EU Directive aimed at increasing transparency and responsibility relating to corporate sustainability reporting.

Outlook

I am humbled by the confidence the Board has placed in me to lead Catella into the future during the recruitment of a permanent CEO. As indicated above, I am optimistic about the near future after more than two challenging years.

We have done and continue to do the right things. During the period of reduced activity, we have worked diligently to improve efficiency and adapt the organization. We have maintained a strong liquidity and a strong capital position and are now well-positioned to take advantage of the upturn. Our upcoming divestments will further strengthen our position. As the market improves, Catella is in a strong position to capture and capitalize on the opportunities arising, and continue to create value for our customers and shareholders in the future.

Daniel Gorosch, interim CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 7 November 2024

Group net sales and profit/loss Third quarter 2024

The Group's total income decreased by 150 SEK M, totalling SEK 383 M (534). A majority of this change, SEK 136 M, was derived from Principal Investments' accrued income from logistics projects Metz-Eurolog and Barcelona in 2023. No projects were recognized for profit in the current period. The Investment Management business area's income was just below last year's level, fixed management fees decreased slightly, while transaction-based income increased in the period. Corporate Finance's income was also in line with the previous year, driven by increased transaction volumes in the Spanish and Swedish operations, at the same time as low transaction volumes in France brought down business area income.

The Group's operating profit was SEK 19 M (32) and included non-recurring costs related to redundancies totalling SEK 13 M (2) and fair value adjustments rate differences on fund holdings of SEK -6 M (5).

Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 7-11.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -50 M (-42) and included exchange rate differences of SEK -11 M (- 37), a deviation of SEK 27 M compared to the previous year. Interest expenses in the period increased by SEK 14 M to SEK 55 M (41) , partly due to interest expenses attributable to completed phases of ongoing projects being recognised in the income statement to a higher degree than in the corresponding period of the previous year, rather than being capitalized in the Group's financial position. Furthermore, the Group's interest expenses increased as a result of increased borrowing and transaction costs in connection with the partial buy-back of an older bond. The previous year's net financial income/expense included profit from the divestment of the Infrahubs platform of SEK 28 M.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK -31 M (-9) and profit/loss for the period was SEK -23 M (- 22), which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.26 (-0.25) attributable to

Parent Company shareholders.

Significant events in the quarter

On 6 September, Catella AB issued new senior unsecured green bonds totalling SEK 600 M with a term of 3.5 years at variable interest of 3 month Stibor plus 390 b.p. In connection with this, Catella AB repurchased SEK 307.5 M of the older bond, with an outstanding amount of SEK 1,250 M, at a price of 100.95 percent of the nominal amount. The transactions raised SEK 282 M for the Group in cash and cash equivalents after transaction costs.

On 10 September, Catella announced that President and CEO Christoffer Abramson was leaving the company after 3.5 years in the role. During the recruitment of a new CEO, Daniel Gorosch, CEO of Catella Corporate Finance Sweden, has been appointed interim President and CEO.

Group net sales and profit/loss Nine-months period 2024

The Group's total income decreased by SEK 539 M to SEK 1,254 M (1,793), of which SEK 300 M was attributable to Principal Investments' divestment of the Infrahubs platform in 2023. In addition, Principal Investments' income from logistics projects Metz-Eurolog and Barcelona decreased, where profit is recognized at a pace with completion of the projects.

Investment Management's income mainly decreased due to absent performance-based fees and lower management fees caused by reduced NAV in funds under management. Corporate Finance's income was impacted by significantly lower transaction volumes on the French Market, which were partly offset by higher income

in the Danish, Spanish and Swedish operations.

The hesitant market and associated lower income for the Group resulted in an increased focus on the Group's costs which, excluding depreciation and amortization and negative fair value adjustments on fund holdings, decreased by SEK 90 M to SEK 819 M (909) in the period. The Group's operating profit was SEK 58 M (122) for the nine-month period.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -88 M (-26) and included interest expenses of SEK 161 M (114) and positive exchange rate differences of SEK 22 M (24). Increased interest expenses were largely due to factors such as interest expenses attributable to completed phases of ongoing projects being recognised in the income statement rather than being capitalized in the Group's financial position.

The higher interest expenses were also due to Catella AB's bond loan which accrues variable interest, increased borrowing and transaction costs associated with the partial buy-back of older bond loans. The previous year's net financial income/expense also included profit from the divestment of a subsidiary of SEK 37 M.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK -30 M (96) and profit/loss for the period was SEK -29 M (54) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.33 (0.60) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 1 M (15). The lower profit compared to the previous year was mainly attributable to the divestment of Infrahubs in 2023.

Investment Management

Net sales and profit/loss Third quarter 2024

Total income was SEK 259 M (263), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 221 M (221).

Property Funds' income decreased by SEK 5 M year-on-year. Fixed net income decreased by SEK 8 M, driven by a slightly lower level of total assets under management (AUM).

Variable net income in Property Funds increased by SEK 2 M. The marginal increase in transaction-based fees was an effect of the still subdued transaction market. Asset Management generated stable income in year-on-year terms. Operating expenses for the segment decreased by SEK 7 M, primarily driven by lower fixed personnel expenses and consultancy costs. Operating profit was SEK 33 M in

the quarter, primarily comprised of Property Funds.

Nine-months period 2024

Total income was SEK 762 million (883), and operating profit was SEK 101 million (167). The reduced profit was mainly driven by lower performance-based fees in Property Funds.

Investment Management

Assets under management by service area and country

Total assets under management (AUM) were SEK 151 Bn, of which SEK 111 Bn related to Property Funds and SEK 40 Bn to Asset Management. Germany is Property Funds' largest market with the highest proportion of invested capital, primarily

through Catella Residential Investment Management and Catella Real Estate.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY SERVICE AREA ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY COUNTRY

Change in assets under management

Assets under management decreased from SEK 158.8 Bn to SEK 151.4 Bn in the latest 12-month period, down by SEK 7.3 Bn, mainly derived from negative value changes and exchange rate effects, where changes in the EUR/SEK rate made the main contribution, but also low net outflows. Inflows of SEK 12.2 Bn mainly comprised inflows to Property Funds, and to the Asset Management operations in Finland which won new mandates. Outflows of SEK 12.8 Bn mainly comprised outflows from Catella UK linked to the completion of the Hollborn Island mandate, as well as divestments of assets in various portfolios. Assets under management decreased by SEK 1.2 Bn in the third quarter, from SEK 152.6 Bn in the second quarter. Inflows for the quarter of SEK 3.1 Bn were primarily driven by the Property Funds and Asset Management operations in France, which won new mandates. Outflows of SEK 2.9 Bn were mainly derived from Catella UK which saw a number of divestments and terminations of mandates, but also from

outflows from Property Funds. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, decreased AUM by SEK 0.5 Bn in the quarter. In Property Funds, assets under management increased by SEK 0.2 Bn compared to the second quarter, and decreased by SEK 0.5 Bn in year-on-year terms. In Asset Management, assets under management decreased by SEK 1.4 Bn compared to the second quarter, and by SEK 6.8 Bn year-on-year.

Principal Investments

Net sales and profit/loss Third quarter 2024

Income amounted to SEK 35 M (177), mainly comprising rental income from the residential project Kaktus and Catella Project Management and its project companies.

Both development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit for the segment was SEK 3 M (21) primarily driven by Kaktus. As of 30 September, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK 1,851 M in residential, logistics, of- fice and retail projects in Europe.

Nine-month period 2024

Income was SEK 243 M (640), and operating profit was SEK 18 M (43). Operating profit was mainly driven by residential projects Kaktus and Catella UK Salisbury.

Corporate Finance

Net sales and profit/loss Third quarter 2024

The transaction market remained hesitant in the third quarter.

Nine-month period 2024

Total income was SEK 238 million (265), and operating profit was SEK -48 million (- 47). The transaction market in Europe has been in a declining trend since 2022, and continued uncertainty affected all operations in the Corporate Finance business area, leading to a reduction in income and associated profit.

Other financial information

The Group's financial position Third quarter 2024

The following information relates to the Group formal accounts.

In the third quarter, the Group's total assets increased marginally, amounting to SEK 5,721 M as of 30 September 2024. Changes in individual Balance Sheet items such as Development and projects properties, Cash and cash equivalents and Bond loans were significant due to factors such as continued investments in the projects Metz-Eurolog, Polaxis and Köningsallé, and the refinancing of Group borrowing.

Group equity decreased by SEK 22 M to SEK 1,967 M as of 30 September 2024. In addition to profit/loss for the period of SEK -23 M and repurchases of warrants from the former President and CEO of SEK -3 M, equity was mainly affected by realized profit from the sale of Visa shares of SEK 9 M, which was recognized under Other comprehensive income. Translation differences in the period were negligible. As of the Balance Sheet date, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 34 percent (35 percent as of 30 June 2024).

Group financing

In September 2024, Catella AB issued new senior unsecured green bonds totalling SEK 600 M with a term of 3.5 years and maturity in March 2028. Transaction costs for the new bond amounted to 8 SEK million and are initially reported as a reduction of the loan liability in the group's financial position, and subsequently as a financial expense in the consolidated income statement over the loan's term. The bond loan accrues floating-rate interest at 3-month Stibor plus 390 b.p. Financing is conditional on a minimum Group equity requirement of SEK 1,000 million from time to time. In addition, there are restrictions on dividends. The bond is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm's list for sustainable bonds.

In connection with the issue of the new green bonds, Catella AB repurchased SEK 307.5 M of the existing older bond with an outstanding nominal amount of SEK 1,250 M. The existing bond matures in March 2025 and accrues floating-rate 3-month Stibor plus 475 b.p.

In addition, the Group's property development company received loans from credit institutions relating to ongoing property projects. As of 30 September 2024, these loans totalled SEK 1,310 million (SEK 1,521 M as of 30 June 2024). A majority of these relate to the financing of Kaktus, where loans accrued variable interest averaging 5.4 percent (4.9) in the nine-month period 2024. In September, Kaktus repaid loans from credit institutions at a net amount of SEK 216 M. In connection with this, all guarantees issued by Catella AB to credit institutions, comprising security for Kaktus' borrowing, were terminated.

Group cash flow Third quarter 2024

Group cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was in line with the previous year and amounted to SEK -19 million (-24) Cash flow from property projects amounted to SEK -125 M (-152), and mainly relates to investments in Metz-Eurolog, Polaxis and Königsallé. The comparative period in the previous year includes payments of SEK 87 M from projects sold through forwardfunding agreements with investors. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK -23 M (37), and includes repayments of retained tax at source on dividends from subsidiaries SEK 50 M.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK 22 M (-164) and included SEK 33 M related to divestment of Visa shares. Catella acquired Aquila Group and additional shares in APAM Ltd In the comparative period of the previous year, which affected Group cash and cash equivalents by SEK -147 M.

Cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK 65 M (-41) and includes several major transactions in the period. In September, Catella AB issued new bonds totalling SEK 600 M, and repurchased SEK 307.5 M of an older bond at a price of 100.95 percent of the nominal amount. The transactions raised SEK 282 M in cash and cash equivalents after transaction costs for the Group. Furthermore, Kaktus repaid loans from credit institutions totalling SEK 266 M, while also extending financing from

Kaktus' main lender by SEK 50 M. In addition, Polaxis extended its external financing by SEK 21 M.

Cash flow in the period was SEK -81 M (-344) and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 869 M (1,001), of which cash and cash equivalents relating to the Group's Swedish holding company amounted to SEK 205 M (236).

Nine-month period 2024

Group cash flow in the nine-month period was SEK 58 M, against SEK -824 M in the previous year, a departure of SEK 882 M. The main explanation for this relates to increased borrowing through the issue of new bonds and loans from credit institutions in order to finance increased investments in property projects during a period of reduced profitability in the company's operations. In the corresponding period of the previous year, Group borrowing decreased as a result of Kaktus' repayment of loans from credit institutions of SEK 373 M.

Parent Company Third quarter 2024

Parent Company income was SEK 11.9 M (13.7), and operating profit was SEK -14.7 M (-5.3). The reduction in profit was mainly due to non-recurring costs related to severance costs for the former President and CEO.

Net financial income/expense for the period totalled SEK -31.9 M (-28.2), where the reduction in the period was mainly due to the repurchase of an older bond at a nominal amount of SEK 307.5 M, which was subject to a premium of SEK 2.9 M (100.95 percent of the nominal amount).

The number of employees at the end of the period was 20 (21).

Nine-month period 2024

The Parent Company's operating profit deteriorated by SEK 2.2 M and amounted to SEK -38.8 M (-36.6) in the nine-month period 2024. Increased costs for severance pay to the former President and CEO were partly offset by lower fixed payroll costs.

Higher market interest rates, increased borrowing, and transaction costs in con-

nection with the partial buy-back of older bonds led to increased interest costs yearon-year.

Employees

At the end of the period, there were 486 (529) employees, expressed as full-time equivalents.

Risks and uncertainties

Macroeconomic conditions relating to inflation and interest rates affect transaction levels and assets under management, impacting results of operations in Investment Management and Corporate Finance. Lower transaction volumes can also affect Principal Investments' ability to divest projects at acceptable prices. These uncertainty factors may affect future returns.

Catella AB is indirectly exposed to the same risks as the Group through its holding of shares in subsidiaries and associated companies.

For more information, see the section Risks and uncertainties in the Directors' Report of the Annual Report for 2023.

Seasonal variations

Seasonal variations are significant in the Corporate Finance business area. Transaction volumes and income have historically been highest in the fourth quarter.

Accounting principles

This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU, the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Complementary Accounting Rules for Groups issued by RFR, the Swedish Sustainability- Financial Reporting Board. Information according to IAS 34.16A also appears, in addition to in the financial reports and associated notes, in other parts of the Interim Report.

From 2024 onwards, the assessment is that income from divested and profit-recognized property projects in Principal Investments is included in Catella's core operations, given the business segment's progress where this income is recognized as net sales. These were previously recognized as Other operating income. Comparative figures from earlier periods have not been adjusted in a corresponding manner.

The Parent Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities from the Swedish Sustainability and Financial Reporting Council.

The Group's and Parent Company's key accounting principles are presented in Catella's Annual Report for 2023. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Catella AB (Publ)

Corp. id. 556079-1419

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Catella AB (Publ) as of 30 September 2024 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

* Profit/loss attributable to non-controlling interests for each business area has not been included, in order to clarify the operating profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company by business area. This is consistent with the internal reports provided to management and the Board of Directors. This information has, instead, been included in the column for Group eliminations so that the Group operating profit is consistent with the Group's formal Income Statement prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting principles.

The business areas covered in this report, Investment Management, Principal Investment and Corporate Finance, are consistent with internal reporting submitted to management and the Board of Directors and thus represent the Group's operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Parent Company and other holding companies are presented under the category "Other". Acquisition and financing costs and Catella's trademark are also recognized in this category. Group eliminations also include the elimination of intra-group transactions between the various business areas. Transactions between the business areas are limited and relate mainly to financial transactions and certain onward invoicing of expenses. Such transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis.

Note 3. Summary of Catella's loan portfolios

The loan portfolios comprise securitised European loans with primary exposure in housing. The performance of the loan

portfolios is closely monitored and remeasurements are continuously performed. The loan portfolios are

recognized under the category Other.

* The discount rate recognised in the line "Total cash flow" is the weighted average interest of the total discounted cash flow.

** Catella's loan portfolio also includes the portfolios Pastor 3, 4 and 5 as well as Lusitano 4 whose book value have been attributed a value of SEK 0.

Pastor 2

In the sub-portfolio Pastor 2, the underlying loans are below ten percent of the issued amount and Catella expects the issuer to utilise its clean-up call. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below ten percent of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. Catella considers the credit risk in the portfolio to be low, although the precise timing of the exercise of the option is difficult to forecast due to various unknown factors relating to the issuer. Catella has made the assumption that a repurchase will take place in the fourth quarter of 2025. The portfolio is valued at the full repayable amount of EUR 5.0 M, discounted to present value with application of a discount rate for similar assets. This corresponds to a value of EUR 4.8 M.

Lusitano 5

The time call affects sub-portfolio Lusitano 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the sub-portfolio to be repurchased at a specific point in time, and subsequently from time to time. The option has been available since 2015. Catella evaluates that the time call will be exercised in the fourth quarter of 2024. The assumption is conservative due to this requiring no further cash flows other than the position's current capital amount of EUR 1.6 million plus the following quarter's cash flow when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued at EUR 2.0 million.

Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2023.

Note 5. The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Financial instruments valued at fair value are classified in one of three levels. Quoted prices on an active market on the reporting date are applied for level 1. Observable market data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices are used for level 2. Fair value is determined with the aid of valuation techniques. For level 3, fair value is determined on the basis of valuation techniques based on non-observable market data. Specific valuation techniques used for level 3 are the measurement of discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of financial instruments. Financial assets in level 3 include loan portfolios, loan receivables and unlisted share and

fund holdings. Financial liabilities in level 3 refer to contingent consideration for shares in the subsidiary Aquila. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2023.

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 30 September 2024 are stated in the following table.

Application of key performance indicators not defined by IFRS

The Consolidated Accounts of Catella are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which only defines a limited number of performance measures. Catella, applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) guidelines for alternative performance measures. In summary, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future profit progress, financial position or cash flow not

defined by or specified in IFRS. In order to assist corporate management and other stakeholders in their analysis of Group progress, Catella presents certain performance measures not defined under IFRS. Corporate management considers that this information facilitates analysis of the Group's performance. This additional information is complementary to the information provided by IFRS and does not

replace performance measures defined in IFRS. Catella's definitions of measures not defined under IFRS may differ from other companies' definitions. All of Catella's definitions are presented below. The calculation of all performance measures corresponds to items in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
