Strong end to 2024

Rental income for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1.059 million, up 9 percent year-on-year and a new record high for income in a single quarter. Operating surplus increased 14 percent to SEK 752 million during the quarter, corresponding to a surplus ratio of 71 percent, a strong figure for a fourth quarter. Income from property management increased a full 23 percent to SEK 452 million now that we are seeing the effects of falling market interest rates. These figures once again demonstrate Wihlborgs' capacity to generate a strong cash flow.

We could also post positive net lettings of SEK 13 million for the most recent quarter. Out of 135 newly signed agreements, I would especially like to mention:

  • BPC Instruments signed a 15-year lease for a new 3,600 square metre warehouse, production and office building in Lund.
  • Thule has chosen to move their headquarters to Dockan in Malmö, where they will lease 3,400 square metres at Dockporten 1 in an eight-year agreement.
  • Smurfit Westrock OnWell signed a five-year lease for 5,200 square metres at Värjan 13 in Helsingborg, a location that was vacated quite suddenly last summer following a bankruptcy.

In my opinion, these examples demonstrate the scope of our business and how we can meet very different needs when it comes to workplaces in our region. This is one of our strengths.

Strong financial position

While we are pleased about our thirty-ninth consecutive quarter of positive net lettings, the occupancy rate has fallen slightly. As is evident in our newly-signed and terminated leases in recent quarters, our tenants are undergoing some major transitions. This can lead to a temporary gap between

terminations and move-ins. Many of the major leases we signed in the past year will not generate full income in 2025. Instead, occupancy will take place gradually throughout 2025 and into 2026. We were also impacted somewhat by more bankruptcies than normal, which did not lead to major rent losses but did lead to vacant premises. While we are expecting a lower occupancy rate than usual in the first half of the year, it should recover towards the end of the year.

"This means being aware of our operating environment, being prepared for the transition and otherwise focusing on what we can influence. "

We had all of our properties externally valued at the end of the year, as usual, the valutation resulted in positive changes in value of SEK 514 million for the quarter. The changes in the yield requirement were minor, but it is gratifying to see that our projects are once again making positive contributions.

The strength of our earnings improved our financial position and the net debt in relation to EBITDA is now at a multiple of 9.9, which is its strongest level since 2012. EPRA NRV (long-term net asset value) amounted to SEK 93.58 per share at the end of the year, up 8.5 percent year-on-year, adjusted for dividends paid. In light of healthy earnings and strong balance sheet, the Board proposes a dividend of SEK 3.20 per share.

Certification target achieved by margin

Progress was made during the year in terms of our energy consumption and CO2 emissions, which declined thanks to initiatives like operating optimisation, energy savings projects and transitioning to energy sources with lower climate impact. I am also pleased to note that we achieved our certification

target of 90 percent one year early. Nonetheless, the certification work will continue apace, for example by certifying additional existing properties in various segments in Sweden as well as Denmark according to Miljöbyggnad iDrift and DGNB Bygninger I drift, and by having Miljöbyggnad Gold as the standard for all of our new production.

Patience a few more quarters

One look at the news and it is clear that we are living in uncertain, changing times of great political turbulence. But not everything in our operating environment is negative, and opportunities arise even in times of change. Market interest rates fell significantly during the year and access to capital is good, from banks as well as the bond market. At the same time, the economic recovery is weak and we need to have patience for a few more quarters before we can expect a boost from a stronger economic growth.

This means being aware of our operating environment, being prepared for the transition and otherwise focusing on what we can influence. Through diligent work with lettings and continued project investments we will give our tenants the conditions to grow. This strengthens our region and builds Wihlborgs for the future.

Of course, the occasional transaction helps. At the time of writing this report, we have just signed an agreement to acquire eight properties from Granitor, which strengthens our clusters in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. Good locations, good content in the management portfolio and development properties right next to some of our latest successful projects.

We look forward to an even stronger 2025!

Ulrika Hallengren, vd

Market comments

According to the Swedish Economy Report (December 2024) from the Swedish National Institute of Economic Research, the Swedish economy will remain in recession throughout 2025 and into 2026. Household consumption is slowly recovering after a period of high inflation and reduced purchasing power. Predictions point to households becoming less cautious in 2025, but considerable uncertainty prevails regarding how they will prioritise between savings and consumption. The service sector is showing a solid recovery, primarily in business-related services, while export-dependent industries are impacted by weak demand in Europe. While sentiment remains gloomy in the construction sector, a turnaround in housing construction is expected in the second quarter of 2025.

The demographic change, with declining population growth in Sweden, is also impacting Skåne according to the Skånsk Konjunktur economic report (November 2024). The population increase in Skåne until 2033 is expected to be one third of the last decade's level of approximately 15,000 people/year. Malmö and Lund, however, remain strong and are expected to contribute half of the growth. In Lund, housing construction is already increasing and accounted for more than 40 percent of all new construction in the county in the first half of 2024. Lund is unique, with employment growth and Skåne's lowest unemployment rate. There are challenges in northwest Skåne, where the labour market is under pressure as a result from cutbacks in the construction and transportation sectors.

The Silf Purchasing Managers' Index for the service sector increased from 51.0 in November to 51.4 in December. The index indicates a higher level of activity in the service sector, with an improvement in order intake, but the recovery is dragging its heels without picking up speed despite lower interest and inflation.

The Swedish Central Bank lowered the policy rate to 2.25 percent in January 2025 and Danmarks Nationalbank lowered the rate to 2.35 percent in the wake of the ECB's interest-rate cut.

The rental and property market

According to SEPREF's (the Swedish Property Research Forum) consensus forecast for the fourth quarter of 2024, the prime rent in Malmö increased SEK 75/m² from the third quarter to SEK 3,375/m². The yield requirement in prime locations remained unchanged at 5.0 percent.

In the Greater Copenhagen area south/west (Hvidovre, Glostrup, Herlev and Ballerup), Colliers reported increased office rents of DKK 1,300/m² (+50) for the fourth quarter. The vacancy rate increased from 6.2 to 6.8 percent, while the investment yield remained unchanged at 5.75 percent.

Turnover in the Swedish real estate market amounted to SEK 134 billion for 2024 (Colliers), up 52 percent year-on-year. In Denmark, the transaction volume amounted to DKK 52 billion, up 37 percent year-on-year.

Several structural transactions were completed in Skåne in the end of 2024, with Balder acquiring commercial investment properties in Hyllie from Doxa for SEK 2.4 billion and Brinova also purchasing housing from K-fastigheter for SEK 10.8 billion. In Varvsstaden, Peab acquired four commercial investment properties of 15,000 m² for approximately SEK 52,000/ m² from Centur, its joint venture with Balder.

Rental value per property category Rental value per area Rental value per property category Rental value per area In the valuation as of 31 December 2024, all properties have been valued externally. The valuation has meant that the property value has increased by SEK 585 million (-1,212). Since the turn of the previous year, the assumptions about future indexation, market rent development, long-term vacancy, operating cost development and yield requirements have been largely unchanged. Positive net leasing and completion of projects have had a positive impact on valuations, while maintenance investments and certain relocation risks have had a negative impact.

The value is deemed to correspond to the yield value calculated from, normally five-year, cash flow analyses. Ongoing new construction is valued as if the project had been completed reduced by the budgeted remaining project cost. Undeveloped land and other development objects are valued according to the local price method. The valuation methodology is unchanged compared to before. In the Annual Report for 2023 pages 82-83 and 106-107 there is a detailed description of the valuation of the investment properties.

Sustainable business

Results for the quarter

Wihlborgs' sustainability targets concerning energy consumption, direct CO2 emissions, environmental certification and supplier evaluations are followed up and reported each quarter. Other sustainability targets are reported an annual basis.

Energy consumption

Wihlborgs' target is to reduce energy consumption so that by 2025 it amounts to less than 85 kWh/m² Atemp annually. In the long term, by 2030 the annual energy intensity is to be less than 75 kWh/m² Atemp. For comparisons to be relevant, actual consumption has been normalised using national degree days data for heating and, starting in 2024, for cooling in Sweden.

At the end of the year, the energy intensity was 80.0 kWh/ m², compared with 83.3 kWh/m² for the previous year. The decrease is due to reduced use of landlord electricity, district cooling and gas. Wihlborgs' absolute energy consumption decreased approximately one percent year-on-year. At the same time area has increased, primarily in properties with a relatively low energy intensity, which also positively impacted intensity values. Switching from standardised data to actual energy measurements from the properties during the year also led to a lower intensity value due to the conservative nature of the standardised figures applied.

Optimisations and energy savings projects led to lower energy consumption. For example, switching from direct electric heating to air source heat pumps at Grytan 3 reduced energy consumption with 40 percent. At Skrovet 6 and Torrdockan 6, Wihlborgs' own innovation "the Janne solution" reduced energy consumption 24 and 10 percent, respectively. Through adjustments and repairs to one of the heat pumps at Värdshuset 2, which was acquired in 2024, energy consumption decreased 23 percent.

CO2 emissions

Wihlborgs has set a target maximum value for Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 1 kg CO2e/m² NFA by 2025. These emissions declined to 1.02 kg CO2e/m² NFA by the end of the period.

CEO´s comments Market comments Income, expenses and profit Assets Sustainable business Liabilities and equity Financial reports Key figures Definitions Calendar Contact

The majority of Wihlborgs' Scope 1 and 2 emissions stems from energy consumption in the Danish portfolio. Emissions are reduced by lowering energy consumption and converting to energy sources with a lower climate impact. Converting the heating system at Slotsmarken 10–18 and Baldersbuen 5 from gas to district heating helped lower emissions.

Another reason for reduced CO2 emissions is that Wihlborgs' primary district heating supplier in the Danish portfolio

Wihlborgs hållbarhetsrapportering Wihlborgs sustainability reporting

Wihlborgs compiles an annual sustainability report prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act, GRI Standards, EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR) and TCFD guidelines for reporting climate-related risks.

More information about our sustainability agenda: www.wihlborgs.se/en/about-us/sustainability/

adjusted its calculation method for emissions from own productions, leading to a significantly lower emissions factor. To further reduce emissions, Wihlborgs is dependent on energy suppliers reducing their emissions in addition to its own energy-saving initiatives.

Certifications

During the year, a total of 26 buildings on 24 existing properties were certified and the proportion of certified Swedish office space increased from 71 to 90 percent (read more about this on p. 15). All new Wihlborgs production is certified according to the Sweden Green Building Council's (SGBC) certification system, Miljöbyggnad. During the year, six new production projects were certified and three new production certifications were verified.

Supplier evaluations

To ensure that work performed by suppliers on behalf of Wihlborgs is aligned with the company's sustainability ambitions, we set requirements linked to areas such as environmental impact and social conditions. We are currently evaluating suppliers with whom the company has framework agreements and those believed to belong to industries that could involve greater risks. At the end of the period, 87 percent of these suppliers were approved on all ESG requirements. Another 3 percent were under assessment.

Focus in the quarter

The components of the ESG area – Environmental, Social and Governance – are to be integrated throughout Wihlborgs' business. Here we provide current examples of how we approach changes in our own operations and positively impact the value chain and the sector.

Workplace controls for better insight in the value chain

The construction and property supply chain can be long and complex. Around 7,000 people are involved in Wihlborgs' projects annually and great emphasis is placed on good partnerships with contractors. Wihlborgs' supplier assessment means that all suppliers covered by framework agreements are evaluated for environmental impact and social conditions, and ensuring that suppliers meet legal requirements, and Wihlborgs' values and requirements as well as essential industry requirements.

To further strengthen this area, Wihlborgs introduced expanded workplace controls in 2024. The controls ensure that the parties comply with agreements and regulatory requirements. Examples are controls to ensure that those working on the site have logged in and provided identification, that they have the right protective equipment, that there is a work environment plan and that hazardous waste is correctly processed. The goal is to strengthen relationships with suppliers, acquire better insight into the entire chain and ensure that fair terms and conditions, and healthy competition prevails in projects.

Approximately 20 unannounced controls were carried out in 2024 through external parties. The outcome of the workplace controls indicates that deviations at the construction sites visited are few – below the national industry average. At Wihlborgs' collaboration forum for dialogues and experience exchange with suppliers, participants have received information about the process for workplace controls and their outcomes.

Certification target achieved

At the end of the period, over 90 percent of office space in Wihlborgs' Swedish portfolio was certified. The target of 90 percent was thus achieved one year early. A total of nearly

1,000,000 square metres net floor area was certified at the end of the period. This corresponds to 63 percent of the total space in the entire Swedish portfolio or 45 percent of the Group's entire floor area.

CEO´s comments Market comments Income, expenses and profit Assets Sustainable business Liabilities and equity Financial reports Key figures Definitions Calendar Contact

Wihlborgs is continuing its certification work by certifying additional existing properties in various segments according to Miljöbyggnad iDrift. In the fourth quarter, Wihlborgs certified its first logistics property according to Miljöbyggnad iDrift.

At the end of the period, certification of 36,000 square metres of existing buildings in the Swedish portfolio was ongoing. Of this, 70 percent was office space and 30 percent was logistics/production. Certification of 14 properties, or 271,000 square metres, of Wihlborgs' existing portfolio in Denmark was also ongoing. These properties will be certified according to the DGNB Bygninger i drift system.

It is Wihlborgs' own employees who are the driving force behind certifying existing properties. This helps raise internal competence and know-how about the properties' sustainability performance. It is also an advantage when properties need to be recertified after five years.

In addition to the existing portfolio, all of Wihlborgs' new production is certified according to the Miljöbyggnad Gold standard. A portion of the properties are also certified according to the supplementary certification NollCO2, meaning the building is to have a net-zero CO2 impact throughout its lifecycle. During the year, five properties were certified according to Miljöbyggnad. One of these, Bläckhornet 1, was also certified according to NollCO2 and WELL (a certification for health and well-being). A new build at Rausgård 21, Nederman's facility, was also certified according to the UK certification system BREEAM, at the Very Good level.

Wihlborgs will report in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for the 2025 financial year. Work is ongoing with preparing the business to meet the reporting requirement. Wihlborgs' double materiality assessment has been completed and the sustainability aspects that are material for operations have been defined.

A gap analysis of the datapoints is ongoing. Skiffern 2 in Lund and Svea 7 in Helsingborg are two of Wihlborg's properties that have been certified according to Miljöbyggnad iDrift.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Wihlborgs' future development and ability to reach its operational goals are influenced by numerous risks and uncertainties. By systematically reviewing, analysing and managing these risks and uncertainties, it is possible to limit them and concurrently create the prerequisites for continued growth.

The risks assessed as having a significant influence on the Group's earnings trend and cash flow are the variations in rental income, property costs and interest-rates. The properties are measured at fair value with changes in value in the income statement resulting in positive and negative impacts on earnings during the year. Property valuation also impacts Wihlborgs' financial position and key metrics. The extent of changes in value is partly determined by Wihlborgs' own capacity, through alteration and upgrading of properties, as well as by leases and client structures, to increase the properties' market value, and partly by external factors that affect supply and demand in the property markets where the company is active. Property valuation should take in to account an interval of uncertainty, which in a functioning market, typically consists of +/-5–10% to reflect the inherent uncertainty of assumptions and estimates.

In addition to the above, risks also include financing risks. Wihlborgs is dependent on external loans to meet its undertakings and complete transactions. Risks are managed using Wihlborgs' financial policy, which stipulates objectives, guidelines and risk limits for Wihlborgs' financial activities.In pages 84–89 and 101–102 in the Company's 2023 Annual Report there is a comprehensive description of the risks facing the Group, how these are handled and a grading with regard to the assessed impact on the business and the probability that the risk will occur.

No significant changes to the company's risk assessment are made compared with what is described in the annual report for 2023.

Accounting policies

Wihlborgs follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as endorsed by the European Union. The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Information under IAS 34 p.16A is submitted in the notes and elsewhere in the interim report.

The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the most recent annual report. Wihlborgs assesses that none of the new or amended standards approved by the EU, or interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee, that entered force after 1 January 2024, affect its results or financial position in any material sense. The Group applies the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups and the Parent Company applies RFR 2.

Events after the accounting period

On February 10, Wihlborgs signed an agreement to acquire properties in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg from Granitor. The six investment properties comprise a total of 51,000 square metres and the two development properties 82,000 square metres of land for businesses and 12,000 square metres GFA for offices. The underlying property value was SEK 2,425 million in total.

Definitions

Some of the financial metrics that Wihlborgs presents in the interim report are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Wihlborgs is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management, since they enable evaluation of the company's performance.

As all companies do not apply the same approach to calculating these financial metrics, they are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. Accordingly, these metrics should not be viewed as replacements for metrics defined under IFRS. On this page, definitions of metrics are presented that, with a few exceptions, are not defined in accordance with IFRS.

Key financial ratios

The key ratios are based on the statements of income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flow. Some of the historic data is compiled from the historical summary on page 21 in Wihlborgs' Interim Report.

Return on equity

Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding non-controlling interests. Average equity refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to shareholders' equity.

Return on capital employed (ROCE)

Earnings before interest expense, derivatives and taxes (EBIT) as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions. Average capital employed refers to the average of the opening and closing balances for each period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The metric shows the return on the capital provided by shareholders and lenders without regard to interest.

Equity/assets ratio

Equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. The ratio provides a measure of the financial strength of the company.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management, plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. The ratio measures the degree to which earnings can decline without jeopardising interest payments or, alternatively, how much interest expense can increase before income from property management becomes negative.

Loan-to-value ratio, properties

Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.

Surplus ratio

The operating surplus, shown as a percentage of rental income. The ratio illustrates the proportion of rental income that remains after deducting property management costs.

Debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing liabilitites relative to equity. Interest-bearing liabilities include borrowings, lease liabilities and any other interest-bearing liabilities.The ratio illustrates the relationship between borrowings and equity and, thereby, the gearing and financial strength.

Investment yield

The operating surplus shown as a percentage of the properties' average carrying amount. The average carrying amount refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the yield is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio illustrates the yield on the property portfolio without taking account of its financing costs.

Net Debt / EBITDA

Borrowings minus liquid assets in the financial statements, measured at five measurement occasions (quarterly) in the last twelve months, divided by operating surplus minus central administration, rolling twelve months. The key figure shows the company's earning capacity relative to borrowings, net.

Exchange rate changes on rental income

When calculating the period's revenue increase, comparable currencies are used. As each period is converted to current exchange rates, exchange rate differences arise on rental income in comparison between two periods.

Share-related key ratios

Earnings per share for the period

Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Earnings per share are the same before and after dilution. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share before tax

Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA EPS

Income from property management less the estimated tax payable on taxable income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Taxable income from property management is defined as income from property management less fiscal depreciation/amortisation, direct deductions and none deductible interest rates. The effect of loss carryforwards is not taken into consideration.

Cash flows from operating activities per share

Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA NDV - Net disposal value, per share

The closing balances for equity divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

EPRA NRV - Net reinstatement value, per share

The closing balances for equity following the reversal of interest-rate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

EPR LTV

The group's long- and short-term interest-bearing liabilities plus net working capital (if negative) minus cash and cash equivalents, in relation to the properties' reported value plus net working capital (if positive). With the addition of the group's share of corresponding items in associated companies.

Dividend yield per share

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.

Total yield per share

Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.

P/E ratio I, multiple

Market price per share divided by earnings per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

P/E ratio II, multiple

Market price per share divided by EPRA RPS per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

Average fixed interest period

Time remaining until the interest on all interest bearing debts in average has been adjusted.

Average loan maturity

Time remaining until an average of all interest bearing debts has been refinanced.

Property-related key figures*

These key figures are based on the property table on page 9. The table shows the estimated rental value, rental income and property expenses on an annualised basis with an unchanged property portfolio, based on the contract stock on the first day after the end of the period.

Rental value Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.

Estimated investment yield

Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.

Rental income per m2 Rental income on an annualised basis divided by lettable area.

Operating surplus per m2 Operating surplus divided by lettable area.

Economic occupancy rate Rental income as a percentage of rental value.

Estimated surplus ratio Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.

Net Lettings

New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.

Like-for-like

Excludes properties that both current and comparative period are classified as projects/land, aquired or sold.

Four reasons to invest in Wihlborgs

Operating in an attractive region

Our home region of Öresund has strong population growth, a young and well-educated demographic, world-class technological development, good commuting possibilities and shrinking distances to the continent through, for example, the coming Fehmarn Belt connection. At the same time Copenhagen Airport strengthens its position. These are the factors that make businesses grow and attract global corporations to locate their regional headquarters here. 1

Building value-generating clusters Wihlborgs' properties are located in selected sub-markets that provide growth and development potential. We create dense clusters of properties, industries and networks that enable tenants to relocate, grow and develop within our portfolio. We know the market and the region well and can quickly identify new needs and trends. Wihlborgs is the leading property company in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. 2

Long-term and responsible owner

Wihlborgs is a long-term owner that develops and manages properties under its own auspices with a high level of service and local suppliers. We invest in flexible premises that can be adapted according to tenants' changing needs, with stringent requirements for quality and sustainability, while also ensuring low operating costs. We take the economy, people and the environment into account in all our decisions, and have recognised low ESG risk. Our goal is to halve scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2030, and to have net zero CO2 emissions by 2045. 3

Stable growth and financing

Wihlborgs has grown robustly for many years and raised the dividend for 18 consecutive years. This was made possible by our focus on continuously improving cash flow. Our strong operating profit relative to our borrowing creates good financial stability, which allows us to maintain an attractive portfolio of ongoing and planned projects, and to capture new business opportunities as they arise. 4
