CEO's statement

"As we have communicated before, as a shareholder in Logistea you should expect continued growth. We see many interesting deals and projects that holds potential to create shareholder value."

An eventful 2024 is behind us and we can present a significantly larger and more financially stable company than before. Net operating income for the year amounted to SEK 601 million (276), which corresponds to an increase of 118 percent compared to 2023. Profit from property management amounted to SEK 211 million (107). Excluding items affecting comparability, connected with the repurchase of the Norwegian bond loan of NOK 900 million, profit from property management increased by 153 per cent to SEK 271 million in 2024. The earning capacity on the balance sheet date, which shows a forward-looking income statement based on current net operating income and input costs, amounts to a profit from property management of SEK 476 million, or SEK 1.00 per share. Including signed but not yet closed property transactions as of the reporting date, profit from property management amounts to SEK 506 million, or SEK 1.07 per share.

Greatly improved financing situation

One of the key objectives of the transaction with KMC was to identify savings in our overall financing portfolio. During the fourth quarter, we have succeeded in implementing several measures with the aim of reducing our interest expense. The most important measure was to redeem the senior secured bond of NOK 900 million with a 5.0 per cent interest margin and replace it with a combination of an unsecured bond of SEK 600 million with a 2.75 per cent interest margin and bank loans. Furthermore, during the autumn, we have carried out a number of interest rate hedges at good levels and we have also been successful in renegotiating credit margins with our existing banks. Finally, short-term market interest rates have come down in the second half of the year, which, despite our high interest rate hedging ratio, has helped to lower interest costs.

Since the combination with KMC, at the end of the second quarter, we have managed to lower the average interest rate from 5.87 per cent to 5.03 per cent at the end of the fourth quarter. As of 1 January 2025, net financial items in the earning capacity amount to SEK 341 million, compared with SEK 402 million per at the time of the acquisition of KMC – reflecting an annual saving of as much as SEK 61 million. This is despite a larger loan volume. The work is far from finished, and we have continued savings to make in the finance portfolio.

Recently, long-term interest rates have fluctuated sharply. A pattern that we have seen in recent years. For a company like Logistea, the fluctuations have created interesting opportunities for interest rate hedging. Today, we have an interest rate hedging ratio of 67 percent, and as short-term interest rates fall, our net financial items will continue to improve.

Our properties have an average valuation yield of 7.0 per cent, which means that the yield gap, meaning the difference between our new average interest cost and the return on the properties, amounts to 2.0 per cent.

An important parameter with our growth and the merger was to improve the liquidity of the Logistea share. Now we can compare the first with the second half of the year and gratifyingly, turnover has increased from SEK 362 million to almost SEK 2.6 billion, a close to seven times as high turnover in six months. Better liquidity is a prerequisite for attracting more Nordic and international institutions and equity funds.

Continued growth

As we have communicated before, as a shareholder in Logistea you should expect continued growth. We see many interesting deals and projects that holds potential to create shareholder value.

During the quarter, we signed an agreement for the development of a new central warehouse for Intersport, which has signed a 15-year lease agreement with us. The first sod was cut in January and the building will be completed in 2025. The building will be approximately 31,000 square meters and the property yield on the investment amounts to 7.25 percent.

After the period end, we signed an agreement to acquire a property in Nyköping for SEK 429 million (net). We are adding approximately SEK 44 million in revenue and the property is fully leased to Nyköping Municipality with leases running for an average of 6.1 years. A high initial return combined with favourable bank financing means that profit from property management per share, in earnings capacity, increases by seven per cent from this transaction alone.

Performance analysis

Income

Full-year 2024 rental income, excluding rent supplements, increased 108 per cent to SEK 645 million (306) and total rental income amounted to SEK 706 million (357). The increase in income is mainly due to the acquisition of KMC. A breakdown of revenues can be found in Note 2.

In the like-for-like portfolio, rental income excluding rent supplements increased by 4.5 percent as a result of index increases, and was negatively impacted by lower income due to higher vacancy.

Of the period's rental income increase excluding rent supplements of SEK 339 million, SEK 8 million is related to the organic growth, and SEK 331 million is related to acquired properties.

Property costs

Property costs for the year amounted to SEK -112 million (-95). Costs have increased as a result of an increased property portfolio, sustainability work, maintenance of properties, rental losses and adjusted classification of management fees of SEK 2 million between property costs and central administration.

In the like-for-like portfolio, costs have increased by 9.1 percent, with most of the increase related to rental losses. The cost increase excluding rental losses was 1.1 percent. Most of the operating costs for the period have been charged to the tenants in accordance with the lease agreements. More information on how much costs have been re-invoiced to tenants can be found in Note 2.

Net operating income

The acquisition of KMC is the main driver for the net operating income increase of 118 per cent to SEK 601 million (276) for the year. In the like-for-like portfolio, net operating income increased by 1.0 per cent compared with the previous year. Excluding electricity subsidies received and damages in 2023, the increase in net operating income in the like-for-like portfolio amounted to 5.1 percent.

For the past twelve months, the surplus ratio was 85.1 percent (77.3) and the adjusted surplus ratio was 93.2 percent (90.2). A breakdown of net operating income can be found in Note 2.

Central administration

Costs for central administration amounted to SEK -81 million (-36) for the full year. Of these costs, SEK -69 million are attributable to Group-wide functions and SEK - 12 million are related to external transaction costs for the business combination with KMC.

Net financial income

During the fourth quarter, Logistea continued its work to optimise the debt portfolio. During the period, the average borrowing rate was reduced from 5.6 per cent to 5.0 per cent through refinancing of the Norwegian bond originally issued by KMC and renegotiation of existing bank loans. This compares to an average interest rate was of 5.9 per cent after the merger with KMC at the end of the second quarter 2024. The full effect of these measures will become visible the coming quarters. See the earnings capacity for Logistea's forward-looking financials.

Net financial items increased to SEK -309 million (-133) for the full year and to SEK -137 million (-31) for the fourth quarter. Net financial items were negatively impacted by a SEK -48 million cost related to the repurchase of the NOK 900 million bond loan in December 2024, with a all-in interest rate of 9.75 per cent, at 103.3 percent of nominal value. This is a one-off cost and is classified as an item affecting comparability. Net financial items, excluding costs affecting comparability, amounted to SEK -261 million for the full year 2024 and SEK -89 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Interest-bearing debt at the end of the period amounted to SEK 6,772 million. More information on net financial items can be found in Note 3.

Profit from property management

Profit from property management for the year amounted to SEK 211 million (107). Profit from property management, excluding items affecting comparability, including transaction costs linked to the operating combination of KMC and refinancing costs during the fourth quarter, amounted to SEK 271 million for the year and to SEK 102 million for the fourth quarter. The increase is mainly related to rental income from newly acquired properties and cost savings in net financial items.

Changes in value

For the year, changes in the value of the property portfolio amounted to SEK 261 million (-63), of which the realised change in value amounted to SEK 2 million (-8). Of the unrealised change in value, SEK 146 million is based on changes in net operating income, SEK 90 million is due to changed assumptions regarding the yield requirement and the assumed discount rate during the contract period. The required rate of return has been adjusted upwards by an average of 0.25 percentage points during the year. Furthermore, SEK 10 million of the unrealised change in value is based on project profit and SEK 12 million of the unrealised change in value is based on deferred tax rebate on acquisitions. More information on changes in the value of properties can be found in the property section and in Note 7.

Logistea's interest rate derivatives are marketed at the end of each quarter. For the full year 2024, changes in value linked to interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -25 million (-36).

Tax

Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -108 million (-16). The tax consists of current tax of SEK -22 million (-9) on profit for the year and deferred tax of SEK -86 million (-7).

Profit for the year

Profit for the year amounted to SEK 331 million (-9), primarily due to higher unrealised changes in the value of properties and improved profit from property management. Profit from distributed operations amounted to SEK -1 million (-1).

Comments on the cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7, which means that only the net purchase price for the shares in acquired companies, less acquired cash, is recognised under acquisitions of assets via subsidiaries. Amortised loans include the Group's amortisation of existing debt and refinancing of acquired debt.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents increased from SEK 29 million to SEK 376 million during the period. The largest influencing factors for the increased cash and cash equivalents during the year, apart from cash flow from operating activities, are the completed directed share issue, issue costs in the first quarter, which raised SEK 250 million before issue costs, and the acquisition of KMC, which raised SEK 97 million.

Transactions

During the fourth quarter, the acquisition of an investment property in Borås with a leasable area of 2,175 square meters was closed. The property has an annual rental income of SEK 4.0 million and a remaining contract length of six years. In addition, a 15-year lease agreement has been signed with Intersport AB for the development of a new central warehouse of 31,000 square meters in Nässjö. The investment is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 202 million and the annual rental income based on the final project cost is estimated to amount to SEK 14.7 million. In connection with the signing of the lease agreement with Intersport AB, a land plot of approximately 42,650 square meters was acquired from Nässjö municipality, on which the new central warehouse will be built.

During the quarter, two properties in Norway were divested in a step to optimise the property portfolio. The properties, which were divested at a book value of NOK 171 million, had a lettable area of a total of 18,250 square meters, of which 8,000 square meters were vacant. The divestments entailed a liquidity injection of a total of NOK 106 million, which will be used for further investments.

Property yield

The average weighted property yield for Logistea's cash-flow-generating properties at the end of the period was 6.8 percent (6.3) and the average valuation yield was 7.0 percent (6.6).

Valuation

At the end of the fourth quarter, 74 percent of the cash-generating properties, corresponding to 72 percent of the total portfolio in terms of value, were valued by external authorised and independent valuation agencies. Other properties have been valued internally. To assess the market value of the properties, Logistea has used Newsec, Savills, Norion, CBRE, Colliers and Cushman & Wakefield as independent valuation firms.

For the fourth quarter, the change in value amounted to SEK 117 million, of which the unrealised change in value amounted to SEK 115 million (-83) and the realised change in value to SEK 2 million. Of the unrealised change in value, SEK 25 million is based on an increase in net operating income, mainly as a result of completed lettings and renegotiations, and SEK 10 million is due to increased project profits in ongoing projects. SEK 80 million is due to changes in assumptions regarding the yield requirement and imputed interest rates during contract periods, where the weighted required rate of return has been adjusted upwards by an average of 0.01 percentage points during the period.

As a general rule, cash flow calculations are used in the value assessments, in which net operating income, investments and residual value are calculated at present value. The calculation period is adjusted based on the remaining term of each property's existing lease agreement. The valuation technique is unchanged from the previous year and more information about valuations can be found in Note 4 in this report and in Note 10 in Logistea's Annual and Sustainability Report 2023.

Tenants

Customers and rental agreements

Logistea's vision is to be the natural long-term partner to companies that demand sustainable and modern premises for warehousing, logistics and light industry by offering sustainable and efficient premises in good operating locations adapted to the needs of tenants. Together with the tenants, the properties are developed for the benefit of both parties.

Logistea primarily signs triple net lease contracts with full CPI adjustment, where the tenant pays the cost of operation and maintenance in addition to the contracted rent. Examples of these costs are heating, electricity, water, property tax, property maintenance and maintenance of the properties. This means that Logistea has a limited risk of increases in these types of costs.

Logistea's acquisition strategy focuses on and prioritises properties in good locations with financially stable tenants and long-term leases. As of December 31, 2024, the average remaining contract length for Logistea's tenants was 9.7 years (7.9). Logistea prioritises a well-diversified customer base in terms of the tenants' business areas and industries, which is expected to reduce the risk of rental losses and vacancies and stable cash flow over time.

On 8 October, Logistea entered into a five-year lease agreement with Gina Tricot AB for 6,300 square metres within the Viran 8 property in Borås. After the rental, the property is fully let.

BLL Lager & Logistik, which leases warehouse space on three properties within Logistea's portfolio with a total annual rent of approximately SEK 14.3 million, filed for bankruptcy in October. During the fourth quarter, Logistea has managed to lease out some of the space that BLL previously leased.

Net lettings

For the fourth quarter, net lettings amounted to SEK 2 million (-1) and for 2024 net lettings amounted to SEK 5 million (9). The bankruptcies during the fourth quarter are the absolute majority attributable to the tenant BLL. In addition to the lease to Intersport in November 2024, where the annual rental value amounts to SEK 15 million, parts of BLL's areas, corresponding to an annual rental value of SEK 2 million, have been leased.

Projects

To maintain satisfied and long-term tenants, Logistea continuously works to develop, refine, modernise and adapt its properties based on the tenant's needs. Together with its tenants, Logistea develops new properties, modernises and expands existing properties, and drives further development of the surrounding environment adjacent to the properties. Through good and close cooperation, Logistea can grow together with the tenants.

Ongoing projects

Nässjö (Tryggarp 1:30) - Sweden

During the fourth quarter, a 15-year green triple-net lease agreement was signed with Intersport AB for the construction of a new central warehouse of approximately 31,000 square meters. The investment is estimated to amount to SEK 202 million and the rental income, which is based on the final project cost, is estimated to amount to SEK 14.7 million. In connection with the signing of the lease agreement with Intersport AB, the land property Tryggarp 1:30 amounting to approximately 42,650 square meters was also acquired from the municipality, on which the new central warehouse will be built. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 and access to the premises is expected to take place on 1 January 2026.

Completed projects

Alingsås (Bulten 1) - Sweden

In August 2023, Logistea signed a 20-year lease agreement with NKT HV Cables AB regarding the construction of a production and test facility on the Bulten 1 property in Alingsås. The investment amounted to SEK 160 million. The building was completed in December 2024 and the tenant moved in. The lease is a green triplenet lease.

Future projects

Vaggeryd Logistics Park - Sweden

Vaggeryd Logistics Park is an extensive development area located south of Jönköping. In addition to an excellent logistics location, there is also a railway connection in the area. The logistics park comprises a total land area of 380,000 square meters and approximately 150,000 square meters of developable building rights, excluding the first completed construction phase.

In the logistics park, battery storage with an output of 9 MW has been installed and commissioned in stages during the second and third quarters of 2024. No investments are linked to this project.

Fåglabäck in Vaggeryd - Sweden

With proximity to the Båramo Terminal, a combined terminal connected by rail from the Port of Gothenburg, the area is one of the largest inland nodes in the railway network. Here, Logistea plans to build modern warehouse and logistics buildings of approximately 55,000 to 60,000 square meters on a land area of approximately 100,000 square meters. The Båramo intermodal terminal is part of the European rail corridor ScandMed, established by the EU.

Lockryd Industrial Park in Svenljunga - Sweden

The detailed plan for the area is expected to gain legal force during the first half of 2025. Logistea still has an option to acquire the land from the municipality. Logistea is also evaluating potential establishments within the industrial park and is in dialogue with stakeholders.

Vision of the new construction for Intersport in Nässjö Completed test and production hall in Alingsås in December 2024

Market – Warehousing, logistics and light industry

The logistics markets in the Nordic region showed a positive development in 2024, with increased international interest and investments as key drivers. At the same time, the markets were characterised by regional differences in vacancy rates, demand and construction activity. A general trend in the Nordic region, on the other hand, has been a continued robust rental market – despite increased vacancy in some locations, partly as a result of high new production volumes and a somewhat weaker economy.

For Sweden, the total transaction volume in the segment amounted to SEK 25.4 billion, which is a decrease of approximately 8 per cent from 2023. The Swedish logistics market is predicted to recover after a weaker period. A total of approximately 1.39 million square meters of logistics space was completed during the year. The vacancy rate is 8.8% nationally, but there are clear regional differences. Higher vacancy rates are noticeable in the northern Stockholm region, Mälardalen and Jönköping, while the Gothenburg region continues to have low vacancy rates.

Norway has seen strong growth in transaction volumes for logistics and industrial properties, which amounted to NOK 16.5 billion in

Transaction volume Logistics/Industry, SEK billion

2025.

2024, an increase of 37% from 2023. At the same time, vacancy rates have increased among older properties, while modern premises continue to be in demand.

In Denmark, high construction activity combined with a slowdown in demand has led to increased vacancy rates, especially in Zealand. The market is dominated by 3PL companies, driving demand for central locations and smaller unit sizes, while increasing the need for external spaces for parking and storage. The total transaction volume for the segment landed at DKK 10.7 billion, which is an increase of as much as 52% from 2023.

In Finland, the logistics market started strongly during the year, with volume in the second quarter 2024 being 128% higher than the same quarter in 2023. In contrast, the market was slower in the second half of the year and the total volume for the segment in 2024 reached EUR 549.5 million, down 11% from 2023.

Sustainability

New goals and continued development of sustainability work

During the fourth quarter, Logistea continued its sustainability journey and took important steps to strengthen its work on both internal sustainability goals and external reporting requirements. An updated double materiality analysis (DMA) has been developed. Such DMA resulted in an update of sustainability goals and guidelines for continued sustainability work.

Automation of data collection and energy monitoring

To optimise our ability to monitor energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint, we are now actively working on automating data collection. An important part of this work is to connect the property portfolio to Metry, which will give us better insight into energy consumption and enable more precise calculations of our greenhouse gas emissions.

Training and skills development

During the fourth quarter of 2024, training was conducted for all employees regarding CSRD, the EU taxonomy and anti-corruption. This training is part of our continuous work to increase awareness and competence in sustainability and business ethics among our employees.

Code of Conduct and new routines

During the quarter, we continued to work on our Code of Conduct. This code will be adapted to reflect the conditions in Logistea after the merger with KMC. During the first quarter of 2025, we will update our Code of Conduct (both internal and Supplier Code of Conduct) and begin training our employees.

Scope 3 and climate impact

We have begun work on developing procedures and processes to be able to calculate Scope 3 emissions, which is an important part of Logistea's sustainability

work to map the entire company's climate impact. For Scope 1 and Scope 2, we have already implemented processes to report these emissions in a correct way, which will be reported in the annual report for 2024

Energy efficiency and energy performance certificates

In 2024, we have worked to produce energy performance certificates for all properties in our portfolio and we now have EPCs for 89 percent. In 2025, we will produce energy declarations for the remaining properties. Our ambition is to lift most of the properties within our portfolio to a significantly better energy class every year, and during the fourth quarter we have started such work for seven properties. This work is part of our long-term goal to ensure a sustainable and energy-efficient property portfolio.

Climate risk analyses and future work

We have carried out climate risk analyses for the majority of our properties in Norway and plan to carry out climate risk analyses for our entire property portfolio in 2025.

Growth and future sustainability work

During the quarter, we hired an interim sustainability consultant who will lead the work forward and ensure that our business continues to be aligned with the requirements of the CSRD and the EU taxonomy. From the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, we will have a full-time ESG manager resource who will work with Logistea's sustainability issues.

Financing

Interest-bearing liabilities

During the fourth quarter, the focus has been on implementing the measures identified in the third quarter aiming to lower the average interest rate and creating a better maturity structure and reducing the financial risk in the debt portfolio. Among other things, bank loans continued to be renegotiated, with lower margins as the main result. Furthermore, the NOK bond originally issued in KMC of NOK 900 million has been repaid and replaced by a new SEK bond loan of SEK 600 million and bank loans. The cost of repurchasing the NOK bonds amounted to SEK 48 million and was charged to net financial items for the fourth quarter of 2024.

There are still some identified measures to be implemented in 2025, where the majority of these measures are expected to be completed during the first half of 2025, which will further reduce the average interest rate.

Logistea mainly uses bank financing as a source of its debt financing as it is considered to create better stability and predictability over time. In addition to bank financing, the capital market is also used as a source to finance investments such as acquisitions, new construction and refinement of the existing portfolio, such as tenant adaptations and energy efficiency measures. Of the total interest-bearing debt, bank financing accounts for 91 per cent (96), bond loans 9 per cent (3) and promissory notes 0 per cent (1). At the end of the period, Logistea has an outstanding bond loan of SEK 600 million. The bonds carries a floating rate of three-month STIBOR plus 2.75 per cent interest margin with a tenor of 3.25 years which reflects a maturity date at March 9, 2028.

Logistea's interest-bearing net debt, interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, amounted to SEK 6,357 million (2,449) on the balance sheet date, which corresponds to a loan-to-value ratio of 48.1 percent (45.5) of the properties' market value. See Note 5 for a breakdown of interest-bearing liabilities.

The interest coverage ratio was 2.1 times (1.9). The secured loan-to-value ratio at the end of the period was 43.6 percent (42.8). Of the interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 5,159 million (1,453) are long-term and SEK 1,574 million (1,025) are short-term.

The average fixed income and capital tied up amounted to 3.1 years (2.8) and 2.9 years (1.9) respectively at the end of the period. The average interest rate on the balance sheet date was 5.0 percent (4.7), including the effect of interest rate derivatives, compared with 5.6 percent at the beginning of the third quarter and 5.9 percent after the merger with KMC.

At year-end, the share of the total loan portfolio consisting of green loans was 24 per cent (8).

Net borrowing during the year amounted to a total of SEK 348 million (-152). During the year, the Group raised SEK 4,053 million (378) in new loans and amortised or repurchased interest-bearing debt of SEK 3,718 million (538). At the end of the period, Logistea had cash and cash equivalents amounting to SEK 376 million (29).

Interest rate risk management

On the balance sheet date, the nominal amount of the company's interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 4,538 million. At the end of the period, 67.0 percent of Logistea's debt portfolio was interestrate hedged, including fixed-rate loans of SEK 462 million. The company owned interest rate swaps with a nominal amount of SEK 4,076 million with an average interest rate of 2.6 percent, performance swaps with a nominal amount of SEK 900 million in total, where the barrier in performance swaps with a nominal amount of SEK 800 million amounts to 4.50 percent and a nominal amount of SEK 100 million has a barrier of 4.25 percent. The average interest rate, the fixed rate, for the performance swaps was 2.4 percent, which is paid as long as the variable interest rate (Stibor 3-months) is below the respective barrier level. Furthermore, Logistea held an interest rate cap with a nominal amount of SEK 20 million with an interest rate cap of 1.5 percent.

At the end of the quarter, the nominal value of Logistea's interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEK 4,076 million (4,402) and consisted of derivatives maturing during the period 2025–2031. The net market value of the derivatives portfolio at the end of the period amounted to SEK 27 million (-12). The change in market value for the year amounted to SEK -25 million (-36) and is due to falling market interest rates.

Derivative instruments

On the balance sheet date, Logistea has derivatives in a nominal amount of SEK 4,938 million, including currency derivatives of SEK 400 million. The average interest rate on has an average maturity of 3.1 years.

Notes

Not 1. Accounting principles

Accounting principles and calculation methods have remained unchanged compared with the annual report for the previous year, except for the following adjustments regarding business combinations and hedge accounting. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are provided both in the notes and elsewhere in the report. Comparative figures for profit and loss items in text are for the corresponding period of the previous year. Comparative figures for balance sheet items in text are from the balance sheet date 2023-12-31.

Valuation of receivables and liabilities

The Group's and the parent company's financial receivables and liabilities are recognised at amortised cost less loss reserves or fair value through profit or loss. For financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost, the carrying amount is considered to be a good approximation of the fair value as the receivables and liabilities either run over a shorter period of time or, in the case of a longer period, run with a short fixed interest rate.

Business combinations

The acquisition of KMC HoldCo AS in July 2024 is classified as a business combination according to IFRS 3.

Hedge accounting

Currency effects for foreign operations and currency hedging are reported in comprehensive income for the period. Other currency effects are recognised in the income statement.

Segment reporting

As the internal reporting is not divided into different segments, the company does not report segment reporting in accordance with IFRS 8.

Risks and risk management

Through its operations, the Group is exposed to risks and uncertainties. In September 2024, Logistea updated its financial targets and risk limits. More information on these can be found on page 3 of this report. A description of the Group's other risks can be found on pages 59–63 and in Notes 10 and 18 in the Annual Report for 2023. The Annual Report 2023 can be found on Logistea's website.

Valuation of the property portfolio

The property valuation is based on observable inputs such as current leases, market rents, actual outcomes for operating and maintenance costs, planned investments and current vacancy rates, as well as unobservable inputs such as yield requirements and future vacancy levels. The calculation period has been adjusted according to the remaining term of existing leases and varies between 10 and 20 years. The calculation period is usually 10 years. The cash flow calculations are based on inflation assumptions made by the rating agencies. The level of annual future inflation for 2025 is estimated to be 1.0–1.5 per cent and for 2026 and onwards to 2.0 per cent.

The basis for assessing future operating net is an analysis of current lease agreements and of the current rental market. The lease agreements have been taken into account individually in the calculation. Normally, the existing leases have been assumed to be valid until the end of the leases. In cases where the lease terms have been assessed as market-based, they have then been assumed to be possible to extend on unchanged terms or alternatively be possible to rent out on similar terms. In cases where the outgoing rent has been deemed to deviate from the current market rent, this has been adjusted to the market level. The maximum and best use of the properties has been assumed in the property valuations. The cash flow statement takes into account the market situation, rent level, the tenant's assessed ability to pay, other use and the long-term vacancy rate for each property. The long-term vacancy rate for each property is assessed based on location, micro-location, area of use and assessed alternative use, among other things.

Investment properties are reported at fair value according to level three of the fair value hierarchy with changes in value in the income statement. The Group's properties consist mainly of warehouse and logistics properties, which have a similar risk profile and valuation methodology. The average lease period on all contracts on the balance sheet date was 9.7 years (7.9).

The discount rate, the estimated required rate of return for each property plus inflation, constitutes a nominal required rate of return on total capital. The starting point for the discount rate is the nominal interest rate on government bonds with a five-year maturity with a general risk premium for real estate and an object-specific supplement. The chosen yield requirement for the residual value assessment has been taken from market information from the relevant submarket and has been adjusted with regard to the property's phase in the economic life cycle at the end of the calculation period. The discount rate for the calculation of present value of cash flows and residual value is in the range of 5.5 - 10.8 per cent and is based on analyses of completed transactions and on individual assessments of the risk level and market position of each property. On 31 December 2024, the weighted discount rate for discounting cash flows and residual values was 7.9 per cent (8.4). The weighted yield requirement was 7.0 per cent (6.6), of which all yield requirements were in the range of 5.4 – 11.0 per cent. This means that if Logistea's property portfolio were theoretically to be regarded as a single property, the market value of SEK 13,221 million corresponds to a property yield requirement of 7.0 per cent and a discount rate of 7.9 per cent for cash flow and present value discounting of the residual value. The table below presents the sensitivity of property values to changed assumptions.

The fair value of the Group's building rights is based on local price analyses from transactions in the area with similar building rights. Costs incurred for earthworks, for example, are included in the fair value.

More information about Logistea's values can be found in Note 10 in the Annual Report 2023.

Not 6. Related party transactions

In December 2023, Logistea entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of two properties in Nybro and Karlstad from Ilija Batljan Invest AB. The transaction was considered a related party transaction according to IAS 24. ABL due to the fact that Sanja Batljan at the time was a member of both Logistea's and Ilija Batljan Invest AB's boards. The transaction was approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 25 January 2024 and the transaction was closed on 30 January 2024.

In May 2024, Logistea entered into an agreement with a fund managed by Slättö Förvaltning regarding the acquisition of a property in Åmål, as well as an agreement with Holdingaktiebolaget Knut Hansson regarding the acquisition of a property in Borås. The transactions were considered related party transactions in accordance with IAS 24 due to the fact that Logistea's then board member Erik Dansbo is the CIO of Slättö and that Logistea's then board member Stefan Hansson is the owner of Holdingaktiebolaget Knut Hansson. The two transactions were approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 29 May 2024. The property in Åmål was closed of on 4 June 2024 and the property in Borås was closed on 12 December 2024.

The tenant BEWI ASA is classified as a related party according to IAS 24, as they through their parent company BEWI Invest AS own significant shares in Logistea. During the year, BEWI ASA, through subsidiaries, brought rental income of SEK 139 million to Logistea.

Not 7. Business combinations

On 11 July 2024, the Group acquired all shares in KMC Properties ASA's wholly-owned subsidiary KMC Properties HoldCo AS ("KMC HoldCo"). Logistea acquired the controlling interest in KMC HoldCo through the acquisition. KMC Properties ASA is a real estate company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with a property portfolio in warehousing, logistics and light industry. The acquisition has increased and diversified Logistea's business, improved its growth prospects and access to capital, and improved internal capacity.

Logistea paid the purchase price through newly issued shares in Logistea. To reflect Logistea's share structure with two classes of shares, KMC Properties received both ordinary Class A and Class B shares in Logistea, distributed pro rata in relation to the split of Class A and Class B shares in Logistea at the time of acquisition. Following the completion of the acquisition and KMC Properties' receipt of the newly issued Logista shares, all consideration shares have been distributed to shareholders in KMC Properties. The purchase price was paid through the issue of 16,263,577 ordinary A shares and 214,551,706 ordinary B shares in Logistea, which means that shareholders in KMC Properties, provided that they retained their shares between the dividend dates, received approximately 0.04 ordinary A shares and approximately 0.51 ordinary B shares in Logistea for each (1) share they held in KMC Properties. The total purchase price amounted to SEK 3,449 million based on the fair value of Logistea's shares at the time of control on the closing date.

The acquisition is classified as a business combination under IFRS 3. This means that acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

In connection with the acquisition of KMC HoldCo, goodwill of SEK 1,105 million arose in the form of a difference between the transferred remuneration and the fair value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill consists of two parts. The largest part consists of the full deferred tax on the temporary differences between the fair value and the tax residual value of the investment properties, which must be reported in the case of business combinations. For this accounting goodwill of SEK 588 million, there is a corresponding amount under deferred tax. In addition, goodwill consists of synergy effects in the form of streamlining of operating costs in property management and central administration, as well as financing synergies. This part consists of SEK 517 million. Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible.

Since the goodwill is attributable to foreign assets, the value of the balance sheet item fluctuates with exchange rates.

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of KMC HoldCo amounted to SEK 12 million, which have been expensed in the income statement under central administration and are recognised in cash flow from operating activities in the cash flow statement.

Other information

Earnings capacity

The table on page 3 presents the Group's earnings capacity on a 12 month basis. Earnings are calculated on the basis of the property portfolio that has been acquired on each balance sheet date. Net financial items are calculated on the basis of outstanding interestbearing liabilities and the current interest rate level on each balance sheet date.

In the earnings capacity overview, the earnings capacity on the day of publication of the year-end report is presented (13 February 2025). This includes effects from the signed property acquisition in Nyköping settled after the balance sheet date 31 December 2024.

Since the statement is not to be equated with a forecast, but is intended to reflect a normal year, the actual outcome may differ due to decisions that affect the outcome positively or negatively in relation to normal years as well as unforeseen events. The presented earning capacity does not include an assessment of changes in rent, vacancy or interest rates and only aims to highlight the actual conditions as of each balance sheet date for income and expenses given, for example, capital structure and organisation at each balance sheet date.

Logistea's income statement is also affected by changes in value and changes in the property portfolio. None of this has been taken into account in the current earning capacity. Net operating income is based on leases contracted as of the balance sheet date and normalised, non-recoverable, property costs for the current portfolio. In addition, the rental value, property costs and estimated financing costs on an annual basis for the ongoing projects that are planned to be completed in 2025, where lease agreements have been signed, are included.

Seasonality

The leases in the company's property portfolio are approximately 91 percent so-called triple net agreements, which means that the tenant is responsible for the absolute majority of operating and maintenance costs. In cases where the property owner is responsible for media costs, seasonal variations in property costs may occur, where, for example, costs for electricity and heating are higher during the colder months of the year.

Employees

At the end of the period, the Group had a total of 24 (15) permanent employees. The average number of employees during the fourth quarter was 24 (15).

Dividend

The Board's objective is to propose to the Annual General Meeting annually to resolve on a dividend corresponding to at least 30 percent of the company's profit. The Board of Directors intends to prioritise growth over dividends in the coming years, which may result in low or no dividends to ordinary shares. The Board of Directors has further decided to propose a dividend of 0,1 SEK per share to the upcoming Annual General Meeting in May 2025.

Auditor's review

The interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditor.

Extendable swap

A combination of a customary interest rate swap and a swaption where Logistea has bought an interest rate swap and sold or issued a swaption. At the end of the term, the counterparty, the bank, has the option (not the right) to extend the interest rate swap for a predetermined number of years. The counterparty may extend the interest rate swap if the market interest rate is below the fixed rate at which the interest rate swap was subscribed.

One party may exchange its variable interest rate for a fixed rate, while the other party receives a fixed rate in exchange for a variable rate. As Logistea's debt portfolio consists of variable bank and bond loans with a fixed margin, but with a variable component in the form of 3-month Stibor, Logistea has chosen to purchase interest rate swaps in order to pay a fixed interest rate and receive the Stibor 3-month interest rate. In this way, Logistea has fixed the interest rate for part of the loans.

Should the 3 month Stibor be at or above the respective barrier level prior to a new interest rate setting period, then the interest rate hedging for that interest period expires and Logistea pays the 3-month Stibor until the 3-month Stibor falls below the barrier level again, at which point Logistea will again pay the fixed interest rate in the current performance swap.

Project properties

Properties where ongoing renovation or extension affects the rental value by more than 40 percent.
