CEO Statement: Finally in place!

It's a privilege to be able to lead and be part of such a strong and admirable company as Diös. Our goal is clear; ensure predictable profitability over time and create long-term shareholder value.

We are leaving an intensive year of transactions behind us. For the first six months we focused on strengthening the balance sheet by divesting non-core properties, and then for the second

half of the year we concentrated on growth through acquisitions in strategic locations and cities.

Stable performance adjusted for transactions and one-offs

Property management income was good this quarter, taking into account the year's transactions and non-recurring items. Net financial items increased slightly linked to restructuring and maturities in the derivatives portfolio. In terms of the net operating income, SEK 6 million of the decrease is related to transactions and projects. The remainder is due to an item affecting comparability of SEK 12 million for electricity subsidies received, as well as abnormally low maintenance costs in the comparison period.

Lettings are still going strong, with net leasing this quarter amounting to SEK 10 million (1) and totalling SEK 32 million (19) for the year. The occupancy rate went down to 91 per cent (93) mainly linked to transactions and new builds, which is as expected. We have divested fully leased residential properties during the year which has a negative impact on the occupancy rate, while we and other stakeholders have completed projects in Luleå, Umeå and Östersund, which resulted in some temporarily vacant space. We believe that these vacancies will be reduced due to underlying growth, and that no further new major office projects are currently planned for the coming years. Despite the downturn, we are only seeing minor effects on tenants wanting to down-size spaces. At the same time both our rent losses and rent discounts remain at a low, stable level. In comparable portfolios our rental income has increased by 1.6 per cent.

Rising rent levels

The largest leasing transaction in the fourth quarter was with the Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency in Umeå, with a total area of 4,000 sq.m. with rent of more than SEK 3,300 per sq.m. and occupancy from May 2026. This deal illustrates the strong rental growth we have in Umeå. Five years ago the peak rents were SEK 2,400 per sq.m., that's growth of almost 40 per cent.

At the moment, Umeå, Luleå and Gävle are leading the way with good demand and rising rent levels. In spite of the tough economic circumstances recently, with high inflation and higher interest rates, there is a willingness and ability to pay for the right premises, of a high standard, in the right place. In all markets we have renegotiated leases to rent levels that align with the index development of recent years.

Office working promotes innovation and company culture

Hybrid working and its impact on how premises are used is a hot topic. Our tenants tend to be cautious in making too many changes based on trends in ways of working. Given the market rent levels in our markets, the cost of changing premises does not outweigh the potential option of lower rental payments. The pendulum has already started to swing back again and looking forward we see employers increasingly preferring that employees return to the office to reduce mental health issues, increase effectiveness, strengthen the company culture and bring about innovation.

Margin rate on debt coming down

The policy rate has continued to fall, as have the margins in both banking and capital markets. At the end of the period, the average interest rate was 4.3 per cent (4.5) and margin costs for new borrowing are lower than the average across our portfolio. We have a good supply of capital from several sources, which gives us security, while our strong cash flow allows for potential investment. Net debt to EBITA is a steady 10.1 (10.4), which is one of the strongest in the Swedish listed property sector.

Continuous energy optimisation

It is very satisfying to see that we have reached our energy-saving target for the year, with a saving of 3.2 per cent in comparable portfolios versus the target of at least 3 per cent. Continuous optimisation and awareness along with investments in making properties more efficient has paid off and we are determined to pursue these efforts, as they are important in so many ways and also lead to good

financial returns. Our property portfolio is well prepared for upcoming regulations such as EPBD

Fundamental factors for growth remain

The result of the American presidential election is creating uncertainty with the threat of tariffs and lower taxes, affecting inflation expectations and thus longterm interest rates. This has a knock-on effect on the sentiment for investing in real estate and real estate shares. But the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the subsequent inflationary shock all demonstrate that Diös is equipped to deal with the unexpected, both operationally and financially. Our focus on high-yielding, central and modern properties in multiple cities, that gives us differentiation, has proven right even in turbulent times.

In Sweden the falls in interest rates have started to have a positive effect on the economy as a whole. Despite the setbacks that have hit companies in the green transition, we have solid grounds for continued growth in northern Sweden. The fundamental factors, the competitive advantages of fossil-free energy, raw materials, ample supply of land and a stable and transparent governance structure, have not changed. Our market will carry on growing over the long term and we invest in the growth potential of the cities, not in the business plans of single companies.

A hand in the market

Diös' strength is our local presence coupled with the size of a company that creates economies of scale in the form of expertise, good financing conditions and a solid capacity to invest. This gives us a competitive edge that few other companies in northern Sweden have.

I believe in the development and growth of northern Sweden. The green transition has only just begun, and we haven't even started to see the expected impact of Sweden's membership in NATO. But fundamentally, there is underlying growth driven by an active business community, forward-looking municipalities, good education, a vibrant cultural life, sports, proximity to nature, and at the same time urban qualities. Fantastic features for living a secure, simple and sustainable life.

I look forward to continuing to drive the development of our cities based on the strengths of each city. This development creates value for our tenants, for our cities and of course for our owners.

This is Diös

We are the real estate company that invests in northern Sweden. With a unique position in our 10 growth cities, we create sustainable growth through commercial property development for our tenants, shareholders and for us as a company. Our offer is commercial premises – in the right location for the right tenant. A third of our rental income comes from tax-financed activities and just over half of our total rental income comes from offices.

Sustainability

Through clear sustainability goals, we operate responsibly and create long-term business value to our company and stakeholders.

Climate targets

Our goal is to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2030, compared to the base year 2018, and achieve net zero by 2045. Scope 2 and category 3.3 emissions are based on actual energy consumption.

Green properties

For 2024, we adjusted the requirement to classify our properties as green by aligning energy standards with the EU Taxonomy. From year-end, properties must meet the Swedish Property Federation's threshold for the top 15 per cent of buildings in the national portfolio to be classified as green. Our ongoing efforts in climate risk assessments, as well as environmental certifications, enable us to expand the number of green properties in our portfolio.

Energy

Energy and power requirements in properties are largely influenced by external factors such as temperature, wind and sun, as well as comfort requirements within buildings. Since both external and internal conditions are constantly changing, we must actively focus on optimization to minimize both costs and emissions. During the period, energy consumption in the like-for-like portfolio decreased by 3.2 per cent. Signing green leases with tenants engage both parties and creates incentives to contribute to more efficient energy solutions.

Projects and investments

New construction and renovation result in direct and indirect emissions, as well as significant use of resources. To reduce the climate impact of our projects, we conduct life cycle assessments (LCA) in the early stages to identify necessary measures and make informed choices. Through this work, we aim to minimize our climate footprint and develop comparability between projects. With increased level of knowledge, we can set stricter material requirements to further reduce our environmental impact.

Employees

We actively promote the well-being and skills development of our employees, recognizing that skill enhancement is essential for fostering drive and commitment. Our employees' willingness to recommend us, measured by eNPS surveys, remains high, with a score of with 501 points in the latest survey.

EU Taxonomy

We voluntarily report in accordance with the EU Taxonomy for enhanced transparency and comparability within the industry and report indicative figures on a quarterly basis. Our entire business falls under the Taxonomy, as it primarily involves acquisition and ownership of properties, activity 7.7. These economic activities are exposed to environmental goal 1, climate change adaptation.

INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE¹

OPERATING SURPLUS AND SURPLUS RATIO

Rounding can cause columns/rows to not add up.

Earnings analysis July-December 2024

Note 1 Income

Income for the quarter amounted to SEK 632 million (646) and the economic occupancy rate was 91 per cent (93). The lower occupancy rate is explained by property sales. In a like-for-like portfolio, contracted rental income increased by 1.61 per cent in the quarter compared with the previous year. Other income from property management amounted to SEK 11 million (22) and consisted of, among other things, re-invoicing to tenants for work carried out in leased premises. The change compared with the previous year is mainly explained by the electricity subsidy received of SEK 12 million. Of our commercial leases, 97 per cent have indexations, where 94 percent run according to CPI adjustment and 3 per cent with a fixed mark-up.

1 The figure for Q3 2024 has been adjusted to 3.6 percent.

Note 2 Property costs

Property costs for the quarter amounted to SEK 219 million (206). The change is mainly explained by normal maintenance costs compared to the same period last year, which were low. Of the property costs, SEK 9 million (7) accounted for costs for work in leased premises, which are re-invoiced to tenants.

Note 3 Operating surplus

The operating surplus amounted to SEK 414 million (439) and the surplus ratio to 67 per cent (70). In a like-for-like portfolio, the operating surplus decreased by 5,5 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year.

Note 4 Central administration

The costs for central administration amounted to SEK 26 million (26). Central administration includes Group-wide costs for staff functions, IT, annual reports, audit fees, legal advice and so forth.

Note 5 Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -193 million (-184). The higher cost compared to the previous year was mainly related to expiring derivatives with low fixed interest rates, restructuring of derivatives as well as lower capitalization of interest. Interest expenses for the quarter, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, correspond to borrowing at an average annual interest rate of 4.7 per cent (4.6).

Note 6 Income from property management

Income from property management for the quarter amounted to SEK 194 million (229). This was a decrease of 16 per cent compared to the previous year. In a like-for-like portfolio, income from property management decreased by 6.0 per cent compared with the fourth quarter last year.

Note 7 Changes in value, properties

The average yield requirement in the valuation at the end of the quarter was 6.14 per cent (6.11). The unrealised change in value for the quarter amounted to SEK 19 million (-496). The realized change in value amounted to SEK -8 million (1), mainly affected by transaction costs and deductions for deferred tax.

During the quarter, 7 properties (0) were acquired, while 5 properties (0) were divested.

Investment properties 33 -477
Project properties -10 -19
Development rights -4 -
Unrealised change in value 19 -496

Note 8 Changes in value, derivatives

The interest rate derivative portfolio has been measured at fair value. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market rate, a surplus or deficit arises in the value of the interest rate derivatives. The change in value is unrealised and does not affect cash flow.

During the quarter, unrealized changes in value amounted to SEK 197 million (-505) and realized changes in value to SEK -17 million (0), which is attributable to early redemption of derivatives, which have been recognized in full in the income statement. The unrealized change in value is attributable to higher market interest rates.

Note 9 Profit/loss before tax

Profit before tax amounted to SEK 385 million (-770). The change in earnings is mainly due to unrealized changes in the value of properties and derivatives.

Note 10 Tax

The corporate tax rate in Sweden is nominally 20.6 per cent. There are loss carryforwards in the Group of SEK 18 million (0) and there are untaxed reserves of SEK 503 million (482). The fair value of the properties exceeds its value for tax purposes by SEK 16,294 million (15,865). Deferred tax has been calculated at SEK 11,242 (10,718). The difference of SEK 5,052 million (5,146) is attributable to deferred tax on asset acquisitions. Diös has no ongoing tax disputes.

Property value

All properties are valued in connection with each quarterly financial statements with the aim of determining the individual value of the properties in the event of a sale. Any portfolio effects are therefore not considered. As of 31 December, 91 per cent of the property value was externally valued by CBRE. The valuations are based on a cash flow model with an individual assessment for each property of both future earnings capacity and the market's required rate of return. The yield requirement for the assessment of residual value was 6.14 per cent (6.11). When assessing a property's future earning capacity, inflation of 1 per cent in 2026, a long-term inflation of 2 per cent, estimated market rents at contract maturity, occupancy rate and property costs have been considered. The market's required rate of return is determined through an analysis of completed real estate transactions for properties of similar standards and locations. Building rights have been valued based on an estimated market value of SEK/sqm GFA for approved building rights. The average value of the building rights in the valuation is approximately SEK 1,300/sqm GFA. The valuations have been carried out in accordance with IFRS 13 level 3.

Investments

During the quarter, SEK 930 million (1,631) was invested in our properties. Properties worth SEK 1,892 million (160) have been divested and properties worth SEK 1,101 million (0) have been acquired.

Ongoing projects and investments are proceeding according to plan. Demand for tenant adaptations remains good. The economic situation means that the decision-making time has become somewhat longer for our tenants.

Note 12 Equity

Shareholders' equity as of 31 December amounted to SEK 11,659 million (10,968). The equity/assets ratio was 36.2 per cent (34.6). The 2024 AGM resolved that dividend would not be paid to shareholders.

Note 13 Interest-bearing liabilities

During the quarter, we issued new unsecured bonds of SEK 100 million and repurchased bonds with short maturities of SEK 70 million. The commercial paper market has been stable with reduced credit margins on issued commercial paper. We have ongoing dialogues with our banks and estimate that the maturities will be refinanced with the same volumes. The Group's nominal interestbearing liabilities amounted to SEK 17,032 million (17,102). The change is mainly due to divestments in the property portfolio and ongoing amortizations. Of the interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 11,785 million (13,911) consists of bank financing, SEK 1,156 million (556) of covered bonds, SEK 1,419 million (660) of commercial paper and SEK 2,673 million (1,975) of unsecured bonds. Upcoming refinancings are normally finalised 3–9 months before the due date. The loan-to-value ratio for the Group was 52.9 percent (54.4) at the end of the period. The secured loan-to-value ratio was 39.9 percent (46.0). The annual average interest rate, including the cost of derivative instruments and loan commitments, was 4.3 per cent (4.5) at the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the quarter was 2.0 (2.2).

Comments on the balance sheet, continued

Fixed-rate terms and loan maturities

The average fixed interest period, including derivatives, was 2.7 years (2.7) and the average fixed capital period was 2.2 years (2.3). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 4,322 million (1,720) are fixed-rate loans, of which SEK 1,419 million (660) pertains to commercial paper.

2 Annual average interest rate refers to average interest rate based on interest rate terms and current debt as of 31/12/2024.

3 The cost of unutilised credit facilities affects the annual average interest rate by 0.05 percentage points.

Derivatives

During the quarter, new derivatives were restructured and entered. This has led to a reduction in the remaining maturity to 4.0 years, compared with 3.7 years at year-end. The changes have been implemented to optimise fixed interest terms.

Bank funding Covered Bonds Unsecured bonds

Of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 9,250 million (11,250) has been hedged through derivative instruments. Market value of the derivatives portfolio amounted to SEK -254 million (-338) as of 31 December. The financial instruments limit the impact of any interest rate changes on our average cost of borrowing. All financial instruments are measured at fair value and are classified in level 2 according to IFRS 13, which means that the valuation is based on observable market data (see Note 19 in the Annual Report 2023). Changes in value are recognised in the income statement.

Note 14 Cash and cash equivalents and overdraft facilities

The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year amounted to SEK 405 million (98) and utilised overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 0 million (0). The approved credit limit on the overdraft facility amounted to SEK 600 million (600) and the total liquidity reserve less outstanding commercial paper amounted to SEK 1,947 million (829).

The operating surplus amounted to SEK 1,728 million (1,711), which corresponds to an increase of 1 per cent with a surplus ratio of 69 per cent (70). Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -752 million (-719). Profit before tax amounted to SEK 893 million (-963) and the increased profit is mainly due to changes in the value of properties. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 68 million (-481), with the effect mainly attributable to rising long-term market interest rates during the period.

Financial key ratios

The interim report presents key figures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. We believe that these measures provide valuable and complementary information to investors, analysts and company's management, enabling evaluation of relevant trends and performance. As financial measures are not calculated by same methodology by all companies, measures presented are not always comparable. Therefore, these financial measures should not be regarded as a substitute for measures defined under IFRS. The table below presents measures not defined according to IFRS, unless otherwise specified.

Risks and uncertainties

The business's material risks and uncertainties include market and operating environment, business model, properties, cash flow, financing and sustainability-related risks.

Global and Swedish economic activity, inflation and interest rates affect demand and price levels for the Swedish property market.

Our properties are reported on an ongoing basis at fair value, where the change in value is recognised in the income statement. The effects of changes in value affect the income statement and balance sheet and thus related key figures. The effects of greater negative impacts are managed through diversified holdings in central locations in cities with growth.

Cash flow consists of income and expenses and is mainly attributable to rent levels, property costs, occupancy rate and interest rate level. A change in these items affects cash flow and thus earnings. The effect of greater negative impacts is managed through a diversified tenant structure, good cost control and active interest rate risk management.

The accounting policies applied in preparing the interim report are consistent with the accounting policies applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements and annual accounts for 2023. Other amended and new IFRS standards that enter into force during the year, or in the coming periods, are not assessed as having any significant impact on the consolidated accounts and financial statements.
