Lingering geopolitical and economic uncertainty were the defining characteristics as 2025 began. The recovery has not progressed as swiftly as many of us hoped, and property values have remained relatively stagnant. Nevertheless, Heba continues to deliver strong key figures. Income from property management totalled SEK 55.0m (54.6) for the quarter. The occupancy rate remained high, above 99.9%, and the NOI margin was 72%.

We have successfully grasped the opportunities that have arisen in a volatile market. Heba has made several strategic acquisitions and bolstered its position in the elderly care segment. In April, we closed an agreement to acquire yet another elderly care facility, a new build located in Norrtälje. Community service properties are now generating 30% of NOI – a key strategic milestone. Heba is now a force to be reckoned with in the social care segment.

Stable in an unstable world Patrik Emanuelsson CEO Heba Fastighets AB

Strength in the capital market

We issued a new green bond of SEK 350m during the quarter. We retained our rating of BBB with stable outlook in the annual review of our credit score – a confirmation of our strength in a time when numerous industry players are confronting difficult financing conditions.

The green transition is continuing full force

In the absence of a widespread recovery, we have steadily focused on what we can actually affect. Our green transition is continuing full force – regardless if we are talking about the EU Taxonomy, CSRD, Omnibus or Trump – nothing is going to stop us from fulfilling our responsibility. We have cut emissions from energy use in half since 2018 and our energy use in Q1 was a record low of 73 kWh/m2 (80.0). We are progressing on our journey towards energy use of 40 kWh/m2 and climateneutral property management by 2030.

We have also explored opportunities for Heba to be designated a green equity on Nasdaq. A preliminary opinion from a third-party reviewer indicates that we meet the criteria – a key step in our ambition to be an ESG leader among property companies.

Digitalisation for smart property management

Our digitalisation project has moved into a new phase. We have been preparing for several years by developing technical solutions that give us the support we need in real time. Powered by digital twins, structured case management and access to real-time data for energy, finances and operations-critical products – such as lifts, washing machines and ventilation – we can analyse and manage our properties remotely from the office. This is smart property management in practice. It also improves customer satisfaction, the work environment and our capacity to meet standards including CSRD sustainability

reporting requirements. We will have documented control over our properties - in real time.

Attractive properties in an attractive market

Even as we recognise the continued uncertainty external to Heba, we are looking ahead with a keen sense of optimism. Our modern portfolio in the Stockholm and Mälaren regions is robust. The regional population grew by 18,500 people in 2024. In another key metric, the property value of Heba's residential rental portfolio is about SEK 52,000/m2 – as opposed to that for commonhold apartments in the resale market, which was SEK 68,000/m2 on average during the same period. This illustrates the potential of our holdings and strengthens the market valuation. In addition, the population of people aged 80+ in Stockholm is expected to increase significantly within five years, which is intensifying the need for the housing we offer.

With a strong financial position, low LTV and NAV of SEK 47.43 per share, along with a distinct ESG profile, Heba is primed to create long-term value – for our tenants, for society and for our shareholders.

Muscular organisation

On the strength of an outstanding organisation whose people deliver every single day with impressive expertise and genuine commitment, Heba remains stable in turbulent times. Together, we are not just building properties – we are also building trust, the future and sustainability.

The Heba investment case

Heba runs a responsible business on the leading edge. Our hallmarks are modern properties in attractive locations, financial stability and focus on sustainability. The company is in prime position to meet future needs for housing and elderly care facilities.

Modern property portfolio in attractive regions

Heba owns and manages a modern portfolio of residential properties and elderly care facilities that are in high demand. The properties are in attractive locations, primarily in the Stockholm region along with a few in Mälaren, where strong population growth and low vacancy rates generate stable income.

Low risk, high stability

NOI margin of 72% (Mar 2025) and nearly non-existent vacancies make Heba an eminently stable property company in the market. Long-term leases for community service properties and rents that are constantly trending upward promote predictable and secure cash flows.

Ambitious ESG targets

Heba is a clear ESG leader with a green financing framework that received top marks from Sustainalytics. Energy use in the property portfolio has decreased to 73 kWh/m2 (Mar 2025). The climate targets are clear-cut: climate-neutral property management by 2030 and full climate neutrality by 2045.

Strong financial position

Low average interest, carefully balanced financing and strong key figures combined with efficient in-house property management will generate dividends when property values rise again.

Definitive growth strategy

Heba has delivered growth through renovations, strategic acquisitions of community service properties and new builds of residential properties. The most recent acquisitions of elderly care facilities are strengthening the company's position in community service property, a sector characterised by stable demand and secure income. The project portfolio, including residential property in Källberga, is an aspect of the long-term ambition to grow sustainably.

Stable dividend producer for shareholders

Our strong financial position means that we can prioritise dividends to our shareholders, who make an essential contribution to running our business.

Positioning for the needs of the future

With its community service properties, Heba is in prime position to respond effectively to trends such as an ageing population and rising demand for elderly care facilities. The modern, sustainable property portfolio in attractive locations meets tenant demands.

Heba is the long-term choice

3 Enköping Modern properties in attractive locations in Stockholm and Mälaren

Heba owns and manages a modern property portfolio comprised of residential properties and community service properties used for elderly care facilities in attractive locations in the Stockholm and Mälaren regions. The properties are mainly located near railbound public transportation links.

We operate in 13 municipalities from Nynäshamn in the south to Uppsala in the north and Enköping in the west, all within one hour from Stockholm. Most of the properties are located in the City of Stockholm and neighbouring municipalities.

The majority of the properties are new builds or renovated. Only two properties comprising a total of 98 apartments are yet to be completed in the Heba renovation programme.

ESG targets 2025–2030

Sustainability is reflected in everything Heba does, today and in the future, proceeding from our responsibility as an employer, our social responsibility and our environmental responsibility. The ESG programme is meant to ensure that the company meets its long-term ESG objectives in alignment with the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Future-proofing the business is intertwined with successful enterprise.

Preparations for CSRD reporting continue

Heba's preparations for CSRD reporting are ongoing. We intend to forge ahead with this even if Europe passes the proposal to reduce the scope of reporting requirements and which companies are affected. Heba already has a structured approach to ESG and CSRD requirements are helping prioritise our roadmap moving forward. We need knowledge and digitalisation to succeed.

Energy use

At then end of Q1 2025, Heba's energy use was 73 kWh/m2. The work to reach the target of 40 kWh/m2 by 2030 is progressing. To achieve the target, the properties must qualify for energy class C or better.

Training programme

The Heba internal training programme, where we gather to learn more about a specific topic, is ongoing. Trainings may be led by one of our expert employees or an external specialist. The first training of the year dealt with IT security and how we as individuals should think and act to protect ourselves.

Audit of management systems with zero non-conformances

Heba has been quality and environmentally certified according to ISO 14001 and 9001 for several years. Heba passed the annual audit of its management systems with zero non-conformances. The management systems are an important foundation for continuous improvements and completing the digitalisation that will be required to achieve our targets going forward.

Significant suppliers have submitted self-assessments

Heba's significant suppliers have signed the Code of Conduct and thus committed to adhering to Heba's core values and ESG standards. The suppliers completed and submitted self-assessments in Q1 as an aspect of monitoring compliance, which we will follow up with an audit in Q2.

Investments and disposals

Elderly care facility in Enköping

Heba closed an agreement in November 2024 with Krusleden Fastighets AB, a company in the Hemsö Group, to acquire an elderly care facility in Romberga, Enköping. The facility comprises 54 apartments. Ownership was transferred in December 2024 when Heba acquired the shares in the company. The agreed property value corresponds to SEK 206m. Costs incurred amount to SEK 199.0m in consideration of received rebates, including SEK 0.2m in Q1 2025. The investment is estimated at about SEK 200 million.

Residential rental property in Källberga, Nynäshamn

Heba closed an agreement in October 2021 with a company controlled by MAMA Management AB to acquire rental apartments in Källberga Nynäshamn. The deal was executed as a forward funding transaction in which Heba acquired the shares in the company, which entered into a turnkey contract. Ownership was transferred in November 2022. The parties agreed in Q2 2024 that Heba would take over and execute

the project under its own management. The properties comprise 128 rental apartments, 13 of which are located in terraced houses.

Property valuation

The market value of the properties was SEK 13,661.3m as at 31 March 2025 according to valuations performed, as compared to SEK 13,589.2m at the end of 2024. One third of all of the Group's properties, excluding project properties in early phases, were valued externally, half by Savills Sweden AB and half by Novier Real Estate AB. Other properties including project properties in earlier phases have been valued internally. These properties are categorised at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13, meaning that the value is based on analysis of each property's status and rental/market situation.

Approach

Heba has decided to perform internal valuation of two thirds of the property portfolio and external valuation of one third of the portfolio in conjunction with the end of each quarterly reporting period. In conjunction with the end of the annual reporting period, all properties owned by the Group will be externally valued apart from the exceptions mentioned above. As of the reporting date, one of the properties had been valued by both external and independent valuation firms and the recognised fair value of the property is the average of the aforementioned valuations. Discounted cash flow (DCF) is the principal valuation method applied, where an estimated future net operating income is calculated over an estimation period of five to ten years that takes into account the present value of an assessed market value at the end of the estimation period. Yield requirements are individual per property depending on analysis of executed transactions and the market position of the properties. Comparison and analysis of completed real estate transactions in each sub-market were also performed. The average yield requirements were 4.5% (4.2) for externally valued community service property and 3.3% (3.1) for residential property. The total average yield requirement for externally valued properties is 3.6% (3.4). The total valuation uplift was 0.1% (-0.4) during the period of January-March. There were no transactions for the types of properties owned by Heba in the most recent quarter that

indicate a change in yield requirements. Yield requirements for community service properties used for elderly care facilities have been assessed as unchanged. Consequently, value growth was unchanged or slightly positive for this category in the most recent quarter. Value growth for residential properties has also generally assessed as slightly positive or unchanged in the most recent quarter. The value growth has been determined as driven by rental growth and not by changed yield requirements.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 19.1m (40.0). Equity amounted to SEK 6,504.0m (6,397.4), corresponding to an equity ratio of 45.6% (46.6). The LTV ratio was 44.6% (44.1) and the base LTV ratio was 44.4% (43.8).

Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK 42.4m (39.8). Interest-bearing liabilities increased to SEK 6,090.3m (5,777.8). Of that amount, SEK 0.0m (0.0) consists of the used portion of overdraft facilities of SEK 140.0m (132.0) and SEK 1,831.1m (546.2) accrues interest at a variable rate.

Heba has a commercial paper programme with a distributable amount framework of SEK 4,000m. Heba had outstanding commercial paper of SEK 623m (150) at the end of the interim reporting period. Heba always has liquidity or unused credit commitments that cover outstanding commercial paper upon maturity.

At the end of the reporting period, the average interest rate was 2.69% (2.52). Unused credit commitments amount to SEK 2,040.0m (2,032.0), including the unused portion of the overdraft facility.

There are no liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Pledged collateral and guarantee commitments

Collateral pledged for interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,850.3m (4,632.3). The parent company has issued guarantee commitments for credit facilities of SEK 277m in relation to a residential project in Vårbergstoppen.

The table shows all agreed rates for the respective maturities via loans and interest rate derivatives. The table includes interest rate derivatives with future start dates; consequently, the average interest rate may differ from the rate that Heba is currently paying. The average rate for period 1 includes the credit margin for all loans at variable rates. This also includes the variable component of interest rate swaps, which are traded at no margin. Consequently, the average rate in year 1 does not reflect the current credit rate when borrowing.

In order to interest-rate hedge variable rate interest-bearing liabilities, Heba contracted interest rate swaps totalling

SEK 3,400.0m (3,950.0) at the end of the reporting period, which mature between 2025 and 2031, of which SEK 400m are swap futures with start dates in 2025 and 2026.

Interest rate derivatives are recognised at fair value at each quarterly reporting period and the change is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 March 2025, the fair value of the derivatives was SEK 60.7m (114.2).

All interest rate derivatives are measured based on quoted prices in official markets or according to generally accepted calculation methods. The derivatives are classified at Level 2 according to IFRS 13. A netting provision is found in the ISDA Master Agreement that provides the right to set off receivables against payables to the same counterparty. Heba has determined that there are no material differences between the fair value and the carrying amount of financial instruments apart from interest-bearing liabilities, where fair value exceeds the carrying amount by SEK 31.7 million.

Rating

Heba was given a long-term issuer credit rating of BBB, Stable Outlook, by Nordic Credit Rating in Q1 2025.

MTN programme for issuance of bonds

Heba established an MTN (Medium Term Notes) programme in January 2021 with an amount framework of SEK 2,000 million. In January 2022, Heba expanded the existing MTN programme to a total amount framework of SEK 5,000m. The MTN programme enables Heba to issue bonds in the capital market.

EU Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework

Heba launched an EU Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework in February 2024. The framework was prepared in accordance with the current EU Taxonomy and the European Green Bond Standard and replaces Heba's previous green financing framework prepared in 2021. With this framework, Heba's aim is to reinforce the link between financing and sustainability strategies and objectives. The framework was prepared in partnership with Handelsbanken and reviewed by Morningstar Sustainalytics, an independent organisation. They concluded that the framework will lead to positive environmental change, and assessed Heba's key figures as "Very Strong" and the company's sustainability targets as "Highly Ambitious".

Modern properties in attractive locations in Stockholm and Mälaren

At the end of Q1 2025 Heba owned 58 properties to a total value of SEK 13.7bn. The portfolio is comprised of residential properties and community service properties oriented towards elderly care facilities. Heba's hallmark is modern

properties in attractive locations in the Stockholm and Mälaren regions. Pictured here is Heba's residential rental property in Älvdansen, Enköping (property designation Romberga 23.58).

Lease liability

Heba's ground lease agreements are the most important lease agreements where Heba is the lessee. There are also a few leases of minor value that refer primarily to office equipment. The lease liability for ground leases amounted to SEK 143.9m (127.4) as at 31 March 2025. The amount was calculated at an average marginal interest rate of 3%. The cost of ground lease payments is recognised as a financial expense because the ground lease agreements are perpetual and thus the entire payment consists of interest only because there is no amortisation of the lease liability. The cost in legal entities is treated as ground lease payments and is included in NOI.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Rental income

Approximately 73% of Heba's total rental income is derived from residential tenants. The vacancy rate is very low and rents are relatively certain and predictable. All of Heba's properties are located in the Stockholm and Mälaren regions and are in desirable locations where demand is high.

Operating costs

Heating costs are Heba's largest operating cost item. The majority of the property portfolio is connected to the district heating network. Eight properties are heated mainly with geothermal heat pumps. Heba is actively engaged in reducing energy use in the property portfolio but heating costs can vary from year to year depending on weather conditions and energy prices.

Market value

The market value of the total property portfolio varies depending on the current economy and interest rate situation. When the property yield requirement in relation to the normalised net operating income (NOI) of the valuation falls by 0.5%, the market value rises by more than SEK 2.2bn. If the property yield rises by 0.5%, the market value will fall by more than SEK 1.7bn.

Finance policy

Heba's finance policy governs how financial risks must be managed and sets limits, as well as determines which financial instruments can be used. Heba has a relatively low LTV ratio. However, the Group is exposed to risks including interest rate risk due to interest-bearing borrowings. Interest rate risk refers to the risk of adverse impact on the Group's financial performance and cash flows due to changes in the market interest rate. How quickly a persistent change in interest levels affects consolidated net financial income depends on the fixed interest duration of borrowings. In order to limit the effect of changes in interest rates, about 70% of the total loan principal has been interest hedged for more than one year. Heba works continuously with the maturity structure of borrowings to optimise fixed interest terms and purchases of interest rate derivatives with regard to expected interest rate changes to ensure that favourable loan terms are achieved. Heba's current interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 1,988m comprise commercial paper of SEK 623m, bonds of SEK 1,100m and bank loans of SEK 265m. The company intends to redeem the bonds at maturity and refinance the remaining debt. As needed, the debt can be secured against the company's loan commitments of SEK 1.9bn.

Accounting policies

Heba complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU and interpretations of the same (IFRIC).

This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies applied to the Group and the parent company coincide with the accounting policies applied when preparing the most recent annual report.

Heba follows ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures of 3 July 2016 (APMs). The guidelines cover financial performance measures that are not defined under IFRS. The principle behind APMs is that they should be used by management to assess the financial performance of the company and are thus deemed to provide valuable information to analysts and other stakeholders. Calculations of APMs are available on Heba's investor relations website, ir.hebafast.se

The Heba share

Heba's Class B share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm AB, Mid Cap. Information about the number of shareholders and the ten largest shareholders is available on Heba's investor relations website, ir.hebafast.se

Dividend

The board of directors is proposing a divided of SEK 0.52 per share for the 2024 financial year. The dividend corresponded to a dividend yield of about 1.6% based on the share price as at 31 December 2024. If the annual general meeting endorses the board proposal, the dividend is expected to be paid on 2 May based on the record date of 28 April 2025.

Share buyback

The 2024 AGM mandated the board of directors to acquire a maximum of 10,000 shares during the period until the next AGM. The company held 9,400 treasury shares as at 31 March, corresponding to 0.01% of registered shares outstanding.

Information

The information in this interim report is such that Heba Fastighets AB is required to publish according to the Swedish Securities Market Act. The information was released for publication on this date.

Styrmannen 1, Lidingö

Current earnings capacity

Heba's current earnings capacity is presented below on a twelve-month basis as at 31 March 2025, including the entire property portfolio as of the reporting date.

Current earnings capacity is disclosed in connection with interim reports and year-end reports. It is important to understand that the presentation is a snapshot, and not a forecast for the next twelve months. Earnings capacity does not include any assessment of any changes in rentals, vacancies, costs or interest rates. Heba's consolidated statement of comprehensive income is also affected by the value trend for the property holdings and by derivatives. These factors are not considered in current earnings capacity.

Properties acquired and exited and projects completed during the period are extrapolated at an annual rate. Deductions are made for disposals of properties that have been exited, on a full-year basis. No deductions are made for properties for which sale agreements have been made but have not yet closed.

Assumptions for current earnings capacity

Rental value consists of contracted rental income for the entire property portfolio, including known rent increases and index adjustments for 2025. Negotiations for the majority of residential units in the property portfolio had been concluded and rents for 2025 set as of the reporting date. A rent uplift of 1% corresponds to an increase of about SEK 3m in rental value. Vacancy is assumed according to the current vacancy rate and contracted discounts. Other income and operating and maintenance costs are assumed, based on budgeted costs for a normal year. Property tax is calculated based on current assessed values for tax purposes.

Central administration and profit or loss from investments in jointly controlled entities are calculated based on outcomes and extrapolated for the full year.

Financial income is calculated based on outcomes and extrapolated for the full year, less non-recurring items. The costs of interest-bearing liabilities are based on the average interest level for the group, including the effect of derivative instruments. Ground rent is calculated based on current ground leases and is included in net financial income or expense.

Auditor's review report

Heba Fastighets AB (publ) CRN 556057-3981

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information for Heba Fastighets AB (publ) as of 31 March 2025 and the three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The orientation of a review differs from and is substantially less in scope

than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. The conclusion expressed on the basis of a review therefore does not provide the level of assurance of a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

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