With a combination of solar panels and an air-to-water heat pump they now have a home with low energy consump- tion, something that was on their wish list when they first started their journey with HusCompagniet. “For us, choosing renewable energy sources for our new home was an obvious choice. They work flawlessly and at the same time they give us a very a high level of comfort,” the couple emphasises. Their house is situated north of Copenhagen.

HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 7 / 144 Letter from Chirperson nd CEO Seizing opportunities on the back of stabilising market conditions While customers remained cautious in an improving market, we were able to expand our market share in the detached market to an estimated 18-19% driven by a sales increase of 30% from 2023. At the same time, we continued to build our position as a key player in the semi-detached B2B segment, where we entered more partnerships and added a total of 559 sold housing units to our order book, an increase of 227% from last year. Based on this development, we delivered financial performance in line with expectations for 2024. Focused execution on our strategy Our business model of co-creating our customers’ homes – primarily on their own land and through subcontractors – has proven flexible and adaptable to market cycles also during 2024, while we at the same time maintained satisfactory margins driven by efficient execution and our timely adjust- ment of cost and organisation during 2022-2023. HusCompagniet’s size, prefabrication factories, and focused one-stop-shop offering constituted a competitive advan- tage in a highly fragmented semi-detached B2B market. Strengthened partnerships with existing professional investors, collaboration with new players and constructive dialogues on potential projects underline the positive future Claus V. Hemmingsen Chairperson of the Board Martin Ravn-Nielsen Chief Executive Officer prospects. We want to grow our market share in this seg- ment further to meet the increasing demand for quality hous- ing with as low a climate impact as possible. This will lead to higher utilisation at our factories in Esbjerg and in Sweden. Launch of strong new concepts and partnerships As a leading provider of innovative sustainable housebuild- ing in Denmark, HusCompagniet introduced MORROW, an innovative and scalable semi-detached housing concept based on wood constructions with a climate footprint signif- icantly below legal requirements applicable as of mid-2025. In the coming years, we will continue the development of MORROW by incorporating learnings from our new partner- ship with Velux Living Places concerning the Living Places concept and fundamental rethinking on how buildings can contribute to reducing global climate and health challenges. To continuously improve competitiveness and clearly differentiate HusCompagniet in the detached segment, we introduced FORMIUM, a new high-end business unit offering exclusive houses, thus formalising and commercialising a concept that has been a smaller part of our portfolio for 13 years. We were very pleased that this tailor-made concept was well received by the targeted customer segments. We plan to expand the FORMIUM business with an office in We saw stabilising market conditions in the housebuilding market in 2024 against an extremely challenging period in 2022-2023. On the back of a Danish core inflation level below 2% and marginally declining interest rates, consumer confidence and interest in housebuilding improved gradually from low levels. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 8 / 144 Letter from Chirperson nd CEO, continued Aarhus and the detached business with an office in Horsens, both to ensure proximity to customers and accommodate demand in Jutland. Financial discipline We maintained strict financial discipline in a stabilising but fragile market while developing our commercial initiatives to deliver on the expectations for a market leader like HusCom- pagniet. We generated revenue of DKK 2,297 million and EBITDA of DKK 104 million, and we will continue to make tar- getted strategic investments supportive of growing market shares and developing the company. Based on our current capital structure we are not proposing dividend payments in 2025. Customer focus and sustainability commitment Our future financial performance is based on a continued commitment to ensuring high customer satisfaction, and we were pleased to maintain our industry-leading Trustpi- lot score at 4.8 – emphasising customer recognition of our strong business proposal. We also signed up for the Science Based Target initiative in 2024 and in the coming period we will define reduction tar- gets for both own operations and in the value chain, where we will engage in close collaboration with our suppliers and partners. A bright future We are confident that HusCompagniet is on the right track and well-positioned to seize opportunities in a market expected to rebound in the detached segment while further strengthening our position in the semi-detached profes- sional segment. Markets where a robust concept combined with trust, quality and scale are key to ensuring continued competitiveness. This is our home turf, and we expect 2025 to offer great prospects across our segments, enabling us to grow revenue and earnings significantly. Thank you to our investors, stakeholders and commercial partners for their continued support, and to our dedicated colleagues in HusCompagniet – all of whom are instru- mental to the realisation of our customers’ dreams and our ambitions.

HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 10 / 144 Deched Gradually increase market share whilst pursuing strong margins. Financial guidance Assumptions for the 2025 outlook The housebuilding market has seen stabilisation during 2024 and early 2025 with a Danish core inflation level below 2% and marginally declining interest rates, entailing gradu- ally improving consumer confidence from a very low level and spurring interest in housebuilding. On this background, HusCompagniet increased sales and grew the order backlog significantly in 2024, but visibility remains limited due to con- tinued geopolitical tension and low consumer confidence after a period characterised by significant macroeconomic volatility. The 2025 guidance is based on expectations of a continued market rebound and assumes no severe disruption of supply chains or raw material prices significantly exceeding current levels. Current expectations for 2025 deliveries are between 1,000 and 1,200 houses. • Sales in the first two months of 2025 – 123 detached, 115 semi-detached, 20 wooden houses • Dividend distribution to shareholders is suspended in 2025 and is not expected to be reintroduced before leverage is below the long-term target of 2x net debt to EBITDA Medium-erm res For our three segments we maintain the following medium -term targets: Semi-Deched Increase the market share of the semi-detached business. Wooden houses Drive profitable growth in the business and increase market share by means of organic growth while supporting the Danish B2B business with production from the Swedish factory.

The market for new-build detached houses in Denmark is the most stable segment of the homebuilding market with average annual completions of approx. 6,000 houses over the last 40 years. The semi-detached market in Denmark and the market for wooden houses in Sweden each have similar market sizes of approx.6,000 houses on average per year, but with lower unit prices in both segments. In addition to building on new land, replacement of time- worn houses with new-build low-energy houses represents an additional growth opportunity for the detached market in Denmark. Around 1/3 of HusCompagniet houses sold in 2024 will replace an older house. General market developments in 2024 The macroeconomic landscape in 2024 reflected signs of stabilisation after two years of significant decline and vola- tility. Following rising interest rates in 2022 and 2023, rates remained largely stable throughout 2024, with marginal reductions in the second half of the year contributing to a cautious improvement in consumer sentiment from a low level, though lingering uncertainties continued to weigh on the housing market and demand for new-build housing. Customer preferences shifted further toward value-driven choices and energy-efficient solutions, reflecting broader societal trends toward sustainability and cost-conscious Unis sod in 2024 Segment split 53% Detached (2023: 68%) 7% Wooden houses (2023: 12%) 40% Semi-detached (2023: 20%) decision-making. These shifts underscore the importance of aligning offerings to evolving market needs. Market outlook for 2025 The gradual improvement in the macroeconomic environ- ment, such as stable interest rates and core inflation, indi- cates a modest increase in economic activity and consumer confidence. However, market uncertainties prevail, and we will continue to focus on adaptability and efficiency, ensur- ing that our business is positioned to adequately respond to both risks and opportunities. We are confident that Hus- Compagniet is well-prepared and well-positioned to not only weather ongoing market challenges but also to strengthen our position as a trusted homebuilder as the market expect- edly continues to rebound.

The four largest competitors together hold an estimated market share of around 30-35%, while the rest of the market is fragmented and comprises smaller competitors. Since 2007, HusCompagniet has taken a leading role in shaping the market by leveraging its strengths in quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation, enabling a steady increase in market share and profitability. This strategic focus continues to drive our success in a competitive and evolving industry. Market and business development In 2024, market size in terms of deliveries was approx. 3,800 units, a 33% decline compared to 2023. Total market size of building permits awarded amounted to approx. 4,100, up by 20% compared to 2023 and down by 33% from 2022. Hus- Compagniet sees permits as an indicator of market activity with a typical time lag in the range of 3-6 months from time of sale. The demand for new-build houses increased during 2024 after very low levels at end-2022 and beginning of 2023. Overall, the Danish market for existing houses saw in- creasing activity in real estate transactions, suggesting a cautiously optimistic market outlook for 2025. In 2024, HusCompagniet launched FORMIUM, a new pre- mium sub-brand targeting the high-end housing segment. Read more on page 20.

HusCompagniet wants to be at the forefront of an organic non-acquisitive consolidation of the Danish semi- detached market, and in 2024, we increased our market share to around 10% from 3% in 2023. Denmark – semi-detached Ses DeiveriesPermis Market and business development Market size (deliveries) amounted to approx. 7,000 units in 2024, a 16% decrease year-on-year. Total market size of building permits awarded amounted to approx. 5,400, a 14% decline compared to 2023. In the last 40 years, the semi-de- tached market had an average yearly delivery rate of approx. 6,000 houses. The market value is approx. half the size of the detached market due to lower unit prices. We have delivered semi-detached houses for private custom- ers over the past 10 years. To further grow our position, we are focusing on developing the business-to-business (B2B) segment by offering building and delivery of semi-detached houses to professional investors, who then lease or sell the houses to end-users. Average delivery time in the semi-de- tached segment from sale to final delivery is around 2 years. We offer professional investors a highly standardised building process for multiple houses and our centralised project team ensures an integrated offering. We offer an attractive pricing model, which benefits from our existing supply chain, scale, and competences. In 2021, we achieved a DGNB certification, which has further strengthened our business proposal. We use the capabilities of our factories to provide wood elements for the B2B business, HusOnline and roof cassettes to our detached business. This makes us less dependent on subcon- tractors, strengthens our sustainability offering, and enables the business to become even more scalable. In 2024, HusCompagniet introduced MORROW, an innova- tive and scalable concept based on wood constructions with a climate footprint significantly below legal requirements applicable as of mid-2025.

Sales from HusCompagniet’s Swedish subsidiary, VårgardaHus, increased by 2% with the market beginning to show signs of initial recovery. Additionally, VårgardaHus delivers to the Danish B2B segment, enabling us to better utilise production capacity across markets. Market and business development In terms of permits, the Swedish market for detached houses increased by 10% to 1,766 units in 2024 supported by signs of gradual improvement in the macroeconomic environment. This development, combined with delivery of semi-detached houses to Denmark, points towards a modest increase in economic activity, and therefore we anticipate a flat or slight- ly increasing market in 2025.

HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 21 / 144 4.8/5 Trustpilot score in 2024 Semi-detached B2B in Denmark We build and deliver semi-detached houses to professional investors, who rent or sell the houses to end-users. With our size, profitability, element factory and focused one-stop- shop offering, HusCompagniet has a competitive advantage in this market. Professional investors typically undertake larger projects compared to private investors. We build strong partnerships with professional investors to enjoy mutual scale benefits and reduce risk through early project involvement and ongo- ing collaboration. We use our highly standardised building process “Ready to build” product for multiple houses and have a centralised project team to ensure a comprehensive one-stop-shop offering. HusCompagniet predominantly builds on customer-owned land, coupled with strategic use of own land plots and development projects. In addition, our prefabrication factory in Esbjerg manufactures wooden elements for construction. The combination of building in blocks of multiple units and utilising digital tools ensures a very efficient building process. Sustainability is a key selling point and includes DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Nachhaltiges Bauen) certified projects. DGNB, originally developed in Germany, but chosen by the Danish building industry as sustainability certification, takes a holistic perspective on sustainability, including environmental, economic and sociocultural issues. Wooden houses (Sweden) HusCompagniet’s value proposition is adapted to strong lo- cal preferences. Our more than 40 house models are based on a standardised prefabricated concept. The core features of our offering include value for money, responsive customer service and a strong local sales agent structure. Our sales focus in Sweden targets three densely populated hub regions around Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. The headquarters and a modern prefabricated production facility with capacity to absorb increased demand and accommo- date a market rebound are located in Vårgårda, northeast of Gothenburg. Key focus areas Refining our value propositions and customer journeys In 2024, we made significant progress in refining our value propositions across both the Detached and Semi-Detached business segments, further strengthening our market posi- tion and enhancing customer experience. Guided by deep market insights and an understanding of evolving customer preferences, we continued to work with our sharpened Detached value proposition by offering a more structured approach with clearly defined categories: ready-made, custom-made, and tailor-made houses. This refined setup streamlines the customer journey, ensuring a seamless, personalised, and efficient experience. Our consistently high Trustpilot ratings reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional customer satisfaction, a key focus that we will continue to strengthen in the future. As part of this evolution, we launched FORMIUM, HusCom- pagniet’s premium brand, offering architect-designed luxury homes with a fully tailored customer journey. This initiative expands our presence in the high-end housing market and enables us to serve a more affluent customer segment with bespoke solutions (for more, see page 20). Additionally, we introduced a new communications platform, "Gode råd er der nok af... vores bygger på indsigt", reinforc- ing HusCompagniet’s position as the market leader and further differentiating HusCompagniet in the market. In the Semi-Detached segment, we took a step forward with the launch of HC Elements providing prefabricated wooden elements from our factory in Esbjerg. This initiative supports faster and more efficient construction while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability (for more, see page 25). Our solid digital foundation continues to enhance customer experience, making it more accessible and seamless. Key digital initiatives include “MitHus”, a self-service digital plat- form providing customers with 24/7 access to relevant infor- mation and reducing dependency on sales teams. Another strategic focus in 2024 was to further strengthen HusOnline as a separate sales channel and lead generator, simplifying the home-building process and expanding accessibility. By continuously refining our offerings, digitalising customer journeys, and expanding into new market segments, we rein- HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 22 / 144 force our position as an industry leader, ensuring we remain relevant, innovative, and customer-focused in an evolving housing market. Scalability and developing our digital platforms HusCompagniet’s digital vision is to continuously enhance customer experience while building a scalable platform that differentiates us in the market. By leveraging our size and scale, we aim to become a digital front-runner, offering per- sonalised products and innovative services through digital and partnership channels tailored to customer needs. A key priority is to use our digital platform to promote sus- tainable design and construction while ensuring full integra- tion across the entire value chain and business segments. This approach will support our long-term growth ambitions and enable seamless scalability. In our order-to-delivery process, we continue to strengthen our construction planning and project management capa- bilities with best-in-class systems. Our safety-incident and inspection platform ensures compliance, quality control, and workplace safety, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence. At the core of our digital transformation is our state-of-the-art customer platform, which integrates customer relationship management and document case management. This platform provides customers with a comprehensive, real-time overview of their building project, consolidating all relevant documenta- tion in one place while dynamically tracking project progress from the initial meeting to delivery. Customers gain enhanced visibility into the construction process, with regular updates and real-time images shared throughout. Further advancing our digital capabilities, we recently implemented a new customer relationship management system, upgrading all major IT systems to modern, scalable platforms. This transformation accelerates HusCompagniet’s ability to develop and integrate new digital tools, ensur- ing we remain agile and adaptable to future technological advancements. Sustainability and Design Sustainability is embedded in our operating framework and remains a core part of our strategic agenda, ensuring a continuous focus across all areas of our business. We have intensified efforts to integrate sustainability throughout the entire value chain, from material selection and construction processes to providing sustainable options for customers and optimising the energy performance of homes post-hand- over. As part of our commitment to innovative and sustainable housing solutions, we launched MORROW, an innovative and scalable semi-detached housing concept. With a market-leading LCA score of 3.9 (3.5 without operations), MORROW enables developers and investors to future-proof their projects ahead of upcoming climate regulations (for more information see page 24). Heating plays a critical role in the lifecycle emissions of a home, and the choice of energy sources significantly im- pacts overall CO reductions. In 2022, we met our target of delivering 60% of houses sold with renewable energy sourc- es—three years ahead of our 2025 goal. The adoption of solar panels continues to rise, with 20% of detached houses sold in 2024 including solar panels, up from 19% in 2023. Beyond energy solutions, we have been working closely with suppliers and partners to develop low-carbon facade options, further reducing the CO footprint of our homes. This initiative is an important step towards continuously reducing lifecycle CO emissions. In our own operations, we remain committed to reducing emissions and target to transition to a 100% electric vehicle fleet by 2028. By continuing to develop scalable, future-proof housing concepts, drive innovation in sustainable materials, and transition to low-emission operations, HusCompagniet is reinforcing its leadership in sustainable housing while supporting customers and investors in navigating the green transition. https://husonline.dk/ HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 23 / 144 Supporting HusCompagniet’s ambition to be the preferred partner in the semi-detached segment, our new and ambi- tious semi-detached housing concept MORROW has a signif- icantly lower carbon footprint compared to average Danish residential constructions and will serve as our innovative B2B platform for lower carbon initiatives going forward. Semi-detached houses based on the MORROW concept have wood as a core component and will be produced at HusCompagniet's own factory in Esbjerg. The carbon footprint is 3.3 kg CO 2 e/m/year excluding operations and 3.9 kg CO 2 e/m/year including operations with a heat pump as heating source. This is significantly lower than many other residential buildings, which on average emit 9.6 kg CO 2 e/m/ year. Additionally, the MORROW concept is well below the Semi-Detached Sustainability and design Green transition: MORROW – a new and innovative semi-detached housing concept new official climate requirement for detached and semi-de- tached houses of 6.7 kg CO 2 e/m/year, which it set to take effect in mid-2025. Carbon footprint will be crucial for future building and housing investments and MORROW, being a commercial and scalable semi-detached housing concept, allows profession- al property developers and investors to future-proof their investments. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 24 / 144 In 2022, HusCompagniet acquired a factory in Esbjerg, Denmark, to deliver prefabricated wood-framed houses and tailormade wood elements for the growing semi-detached segment. Due to the lower carbon footprint of wood, the deliveries are particularly well-suited for high quality semi-detached pro- jects aimed at obtaining a DGNB certification. Prefabrication provides HusCompagniet with a clear competitive advan- tage as elements can be quickly erected once a project has obtained the building permit. In 2024, HC Elements was an important parameter in the win of a turnkey contract with the developer Chrøis & Lund for the construction of 42 single-storey semi-detached houses in Søvind near Horsens. Delivery of prefabricated wood frames and facades enabled HusCompagniet to optimise the construction time of the semi-detached houses, allowing HC Elements – a competitive edge in semi-detached housebuilding for the first tenants to move into the new housing area at the turn of the year. In addition to the factory in Denmark, HC Elements aiso utilises the factory in Sweden to produce wooden houses. With more than 30,000 m 2 production area in total, HusCom- pagniet offers B2B customers a scalable setup and a path to seize growth opportunities in the market.

After a first half 2024 impacted by fewer deliveries following lower sales in 2023, higher revenue was generated in the second half driven by a gradual increase in house sales throughout 2024 with 1,414 units sold against 851 in 2023. This development was driven by the Semi-detached and Detached segments. Overall, deliveries totalled 899 houses (units) in 2024 against 1,054 houses in 2023. In Detached, revenue was DKK 1,779 million, up 6% from DKK 1,678 million in 2023, driven by higher sales. Deliveries came to 603 compared to 633 in 2023.

A set of rules of procedure governs the work of HusCom- pagniet’s Board of Directors. These rules are reviewed annu- ally by the Board of Directors and updated as necessary. Board of Directors The Board of Directors consists of six members and has appointed a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson. All six members of the Board of Directors are at the end of 2024 regarded as independent. The Board of Directors represents broad international business experience and skills consid- ered relevant to HusCompagniet. The Board of Directors evaluates its work on an annual basis, and determines once a year the qualifications, experience and skills needed for the Board of Directors to best perform its tasks. All board members are up for election at each Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors meets five times a year and holds extraordinary meetings when required. In 2024, the Board of Directors held seven meetings of which one was extraordinary, and one was a strategy meeting. The Board’s annual wheel covers all essential areas of the business, including sustainability and climate. The Board attendance rate for 2024 is included in the tables on page 34 and in our ESG table on page 74. Composition and competencies At the Annual General Meeting on 11 April 2024, all six mem- bers of the Board of Directors were re-elected. The Board represents comprehensive experience and competencies that are considered crucial for the further realisation of Hus- Compagniet’s strategic targets. The Board’s competencies are further described on page 38-39. Every year, the Board of Directors conducts a self-evalua- tion. External assistance is engaged for the evaluation at least every third year. Following the self-evaluation performed in 2023 and in con- sideration of the changes to the Board composition made at the Annual General Meeting in April 2023, the Board of Directors has determined that the existing composition of the Board provides the necessary competences to fulfil its obligations and responsibilities. In 2024, the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Directors was performed internally without external advisor assis- tance. All board members participated in the evaluation along with the Executive Management team and other internal management stakeholders. The self-evaluation consisted of conversations between the Chairperson and each member of the Board of Directors as well as with the Executive Management team. This was supplemented by online tools in the form of a questionnaire covering subjects such as board composition and dynamics, cooperation between the Board and CEO, strategy development and implementation, meeting structure and effectiveness as well as value contribution of committees and evaluation of the Chairperson. It is the conclusion of the self-evaluation that the composition of the Board represents the necessary competences relative to the strategy and purpose of the company. These include knowledge of digital transforma- tion, business-to-business experience, executive experience and sales experience within the industry, knowledge of the Swedish market as well as business-to-consumer sales and HusCompagniet has a two-tier management structure comprising the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. There are no overlapping members. The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall and strategic management and proper organisation of the Group’s business and operations. On behalf of the shareholders, the Board of Directors supervises HusCompagniet's organisation, day-to-day management, and results. 33% of board members were women in 2024 HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 33 / 144 marketing, industry-supplier experience, and a significant building industry knowledge as well as production and manufacturing experience. The self-evaluation furthermore showed that the Board has functioned efficiently with an open, challenging and transparent dialogue between the Board of Directors and the Executive Management team. Both the Board of Directors and the board committees will use the feedback from the self-evaluation to further develop the framework for its activities in the coming year. Diversity HusCompagniet strives towards diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management, including gender, international experience, qualifications and competencies. HusCompagniet focuses on promoting diversity and equal opportunities as diversity is perceived to lead to better performance and decision making. The construction sector has traditionally been and still is a male-dominated sector, which poses a challenge for both HusCompagniet and other companies within the industry. Yet, HusCompagniet aims to reach ambitious targets and remain compliant with regulatory guidelines. At Board level, two out of six shareholder-elected directors are women. In 2023, the targets for both 2025 and 2030 were aligned at 40% representation of women. According to the definition of the Danish Business Authority’s relevant guidelines, the Board of Directors has an equal gender distribution with the current composition. Since 2019, HusCompagniet has defined a target for the rep- resentation of women at Group level at other management levels, which comprise the Executive Management and their direct reports holding employee responsibility. In 2024, Hus- Compagniet had a 40% representation of women at Group level at other management levels. With the current gender distribution, HusCompagniet has already obtained its 2025 targets of achieving 25% representation of the underrepre- sented gender among the executive management team and their direct reports with employee responsibility as well as its 2030 target of 30%. The current diversity ratio does not include vacant or interim positions, and the previosly set targets are therefor maintained withour adjustments. Guided by the principles of our diversity policy, the Board of Directors ensures that any change in Executive Management is based on the presentation of a diverse panel of candi- dates in terms of experience, competencies and gender, and corresponding principles are applied when recruiting to oth- er management levels at Group level. For more information about HusCompagniets diversity policy related initiatives and results see ESG section page 63.

They ensure a regular dialogue with management with monthly meetings as well as ad-hoc sparring. To facilitate the Board's work, the Board of Directors has es- tablished two committees: the Audit Committee and the Re- muneration & Nomination Committee. The purpose of these committees is to report to and make recommendations to the Board of Directors on the matters within their respective areas of responsibility. The overall purposes and activities of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee, respectively, can be found here: https://inves- tors.huscompagniet.com/governance/committees/ Remuneration HusCompagniet has adopted a general remuneration struc- ture for the Board of Directors and Executive Management where targets are closely aligned with the company’s strat- egy and typically include targets relating to e.g., EBITDA, number of houses sold and delivered as well as strategic and ESG-related targets as deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. CEO pay ratio and gender pay ratios are included in ESG disclosures (see page 74). HusCompagniet’s Remuneration Policy is available here: https://investors.huscompagniet. com/governance/governance-documents/. The remuner- ation report for 2024 can be found here: https://investors. huscompagniet.com/governance/governance-documents/ In 2024, all current Board members have received compen- sation fees. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 35 / 144 Reporting on Corporate Governance HusCompagniet is committed to complying with Corporate Governance standards and creating transparency around the company’s affairs to maintain the trust of the company’s shareholders and stakeholders. HusCompagniet reports on compliance in accordance with the Committee on Corporate Governance’s recommendations on Corporate Governance, and the Board of Directors reviews the recommendations in force on a regular basis and at least once a year. The Board of Directors and the Executive Management share the committee's views in all material respects. HusCompagniet deviates from one of the recommendations, as the company publishes trading statements for Q1 and Q3 instead of quar- terly reports because trading statements are seen to provide shareholders and other relevant stakeholders with sufficient information on the company’s financials. HusCompagniet’s position on the recommendations on Corporate Governance as well as an explanation for why and how HusCompagniet has opted to deviate from a recommendation, can be found in the Corporate Governance statement available here: https://investors.huscompagniet.com/governance/govern- ance-documents/ Business policies HusCompagniet has a set of policies to govern and further guide overall efforts towards responsible business conduct and governance. The relevant policies are available here: https://investors.huscompagniet.com/governance/govern- ance-documents/. General meeting The next Annual General Meeting will be held on 11 April 2025 at 10.00 (CEST). The General meeting will be a physical meeting and held at Bech Bruun Advokatpartnerselskab, Gdanskgade 18, 2150 Nordhavn, Denmark. In addition, the Annual General Meeting will be webcasted and can be viewed both live and on demand on the company’s investor website and on the shareholders' portal.

The share price was DKK 46.25 at the beginning of 2024 and closed at DKK 59.80 at year end, an increase of 29.3%. In comparison, the Copenhagen small-cap index increased 5.14% over the period. Shareholder structure HusCompagniet’s share capital is nominally DKK 108,550,000 divided into 21,710,000 shares, each with a nominal value of DKK 5 and carrying five votes. On 31 December 2024, Hus- Compagniet had more than 5,200 registered shareholders collectively holding approx. 93% of the share capital. Approx. 10% of the registered shareholders were international share- holders by the end of 2024. On 7 March 2025. HusCompagniet had registered major shareholder notifications from the following shareholders: • Lind Value II ApS holding 15% or more of the share capital and of the voting rights • Danske Bank A/S holding 10% or more of the voting rights and 5% or more of the share capital • PFA Asset Management holding 5% or more of the share capital • Investeringsforeningen Danske Invest holding 5% or more of the share capital • BI Asset Management Fondsmæglerselskab A/S holding 5% or more of the voting rights • Nordea Funds Ltd. holding 5% or more of the voting rights HusCompagniet held 331,589 treasury shares at year-end, corresponding to 1.53% of the share capital. The treasury shares are held to cover commitments under the current share-based incentive programme and we intend to acquire additional treasury shares in 2025 for the same purpose. Share-based incentive schemes HusCompagniet’s long-term share-based incentive pro- gramme consists of two programmes, one program based on restricted share units (“RSUs”) and one program based on share options. The RSUs entitle the participant, subject to vesting occurring, to be allocated a number of shares in the company, equivalent to the number of vested RSUs, free of charge. The share options entitle the participant, subject to vesting occurring, to purchase a number of shares in the company, equivalent to the number of vested share options, at a fixed exercise price. In 2024, a total of 194,213 RSUs were issued on 22 March 2024, of which 32,484 were granted to the Executive Man- agement and 151,389 were granted to other key employees. The fair value of the RSU grant in the 2023 programme totalled DKK 9.3 million and the fair value of the RSU grant in 2022 was DKK 8.4 million. In 2024, the fair value of the RSU grant was DKK 8.3 million. An expense of DKK 6.3 million was recognised in the 2024 income statement in respect of the incentive programmes (2023: DKK 8.9 million; and 2022: DKK 6.6 million). The share option incentive scheme was introduced in 2024, and HusCompagniet issued a total of 183,451 share options, of which 118,096 were granted to the Executive Management and 65,355 were granted to other key employees. The fair value of the share options granted in 2024 totalled DKK 2.3 million. An expense of DKK 0.6 million was recognised in the 2024 income statement in respect of the incentive program. Capital structure and financing The primary objective of HusCompagniet’s capital manage- ment is to maintain a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support the business and maximise shareholder value. The capital structure is managed and adjusted in response to changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, HusCompagniet may adjust dividend payments to shareholders, acquire its own shares, or issue new shares. The financial leverage at year-end 2024 was 2.6x net debt to EBITDA. According to HusCompagniet’s facilities agreement, the permitted maximum leverage ratio – net interest-bearing debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA – must not exceed 3.5x end of quarters. In the case of breach of financial covenants, the banks may demand immediate repayment of the full nominal amount. Management is continuously reviewing the financing and capital structure of HusCompagniet and conclude on that basis that there is an appropriate and justified basis for con- tinuing the current plans and operations of HusCompagniet.

The dividend policy is subject to change at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and there can be no assurance that the Group’s performance will facilitate adherence to the dividend policy and that in any given year a dividend will be proposed or declared. No dividend is proposed to shareholders in 2025. Dividend distribution to shareholders is suspended and is not expected to be reintroduced before leverage is below the long-term target of 2x net debt to EBITDA. Insiders and trading windows Members of the Board of Directors and Executive Manage- ment are listed in the company’s register of permanent insid- ers. These persons and their related parties are allowed to buy or sell shares in the company only during the four weeks immediately following the publication of financial results. If in possession of inside information, such persons are prohib- ited from trading even during the said four-week period for as long as such information remains inside information. The company may solely buy or sell its own shares during the four-week period immediately following publication of financial results, and the company may not trade whilst in possession of inside information. Communication with investors To ensure that capital market participants, including current and prospective shareholders, can make well-informed investment decisions, HusCompagniet hosts conference calls with the Executive Management each quarter following the release of financial results.

These matters are considered at least once annually, or more frequently as relevant. Climate-related risks are an important part of HusCompagniet’s overall ESG risk considerations and are incorporated into strategic discussions, annual business plan- ning and annual reporting. The Audit Committee assists the Board with oversight of sustainability reporting and governance. The Executive Management team is responsible for assessing and man- aging sustainability matters, including climate-related risks. The Group CEO and Group CFO are actively involved in the sustainability strategy process, and the operationalisation of the sustainability focus areas is owned by the Head of Business Development. ESG steering committee The ESG Steering Committee was established in 2022 and counts Ex- ecutive Management and those responsible for Marketing, Purchasing, Business Development and Finance. In 2023, the committee’s area of fo- cus was extended to encompass social and governance-related topics, and in 2024 an additional representative from Finance was included to ensure alignment in preparation of data and processes for the upcoming CSRD requirements. Group sustainability The Sustainability Officer (Bæredygtighedsansvarlig), reporting to the Head of Business Development, is responsible for developing HusCom- pagniet’s sustainability strategy and working with Technical/Purchas- ing, Engineering, Marketing, Legal and Human Resources to manage sustainability topics on a day-to-day basis. Sustainability is implemented across HusCompagniet and embedded in daily operations with a strong focus on monitoring indirect (Scope 3) emissions in building materials. In 2024, the Finance department allocated dedicated resources to meet upcoming regulatory sustainability reporting requirements. New employees are introduced to HusCompagniet’s sustainability priorities as part of their onboarding process, and the company’s intranet features a dedicated section for sustainability. Life-cycle assessment steering committee In 2023, an LCA (life-cycle assessment) steering committee was estab- lished, coordinated by the Sustainability Officer and with participants from Technical, Engineering and Business Development teams. The purpose of the committee is to oversee the LCAs carried out on every house (both detached and semi-detached) since 1 January 2023 and will be subject to a maximum threshold of 6.7 kg CO 2 emissions per square metre from 1 July 2025. To onboard and engage the entire organisation, webinars were organised with Sales, Building Design and Construction Managers on the topic of LCA. Inclusion of sustainability in incentive schemes The remuneration of the Executive Management is designed to support the priorities in HusCompagniet’s strategy and thereby ensure that the interests of the company and the sustainable development of HusCom- pagniet are pursued and that certain short- and long-term goals are achieved. As such, the remuneration elements consider non-financial objectives, including ESG and strategic elements. Sustainability is embedded in the way we do business throughout HusCompagniet, from Board oversight to integration into our operating model. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 47 / 144 Engaging with the interests and views of stakeholders is critical for HusCompagniet to achieve its vision of paving the market evolution and setting the standard for lower-emission construction practices. Our key stakeholders encompass shareholders, employees, customers (investors and end- users for the semi-detached segment; private customers in the detached segment), suppliers, subcontractors and municipalities. Shareholders are engaged through annual general meetings and regular financial reports. Employees participate in engagement via annual employee satisfaction surveys. Detached customers are engaged through satisfac- tion surveys, including NPS (Net Promotor Score), commu- nity management and focus groups. We regularly engage suppliers on more sustainable sourcing. This engagement helps shape our strategy and operations. For example, results from the annual employee survey are considered by the Executive Management Team, and man- agers are responsible for reviewing the findings with their teams and putting in place concrete action plans. Our stakeholders Shareholders Employees Customers Suppliers Subcontractors Municipalities Engagement and organisation Annual report, annual general meeting, regular financial reports, where ESG is an inte- grated part of discussions.

Understand customer prefer- ences within ESG topics. Secure sustainable sourcing and transparent documenta- tion in relation to ESG. Make sure subcontractors live up to Code of Conduct and comply with safety instruc- tions, inform about need for ESG data collection. Make sure LCA report for each built house lives up to requirements. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 48 / 144 Preliminary double materiality assessment To continuously identify sustainability topics material to our business, we undertook a preliminary double materiality assessment (DMA) in 2024, building upon the foundations laid in the initial 2023 assessment. The updated DMA process was enhanced by deeper anal- ysis and broader engagement with stakeholders. External consultants supported this effort, ensuring a robust prelimi- nary evaluation of the DMA. The process and the preliminary outcome were reviewed and approved by the Audit Commit- tee and the Board of Directors, reinforcing the organisation’s governance oversight throughout this preliminary stage. The assessment aligns with the EU Taxonomy, as both Substan- tial Contribution Criteria (SCC) and Do-No-Significant-Harm (DNSH) topics for the construction of new buildings for cli- mate change mitigation are deemed material. These include Climate Change Mitigation, Climate Change Adaptation, Circular Economy, Pollution Prevention, and Biodiversity. In 2025, the DMA will be further refined and completed, leveraging internal stakeholder feedback and aligning with evolving ESRS updates. This ongoing process ensures that our ESG strategy remains responsive and impactful. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 49 / 144 As a house builder, we have an impact on climate change, which we address through the lifecycle of a house. HusCom- pagniet's vision is to set new standards for construction and change the way people think and talk about house building and social living. Climate risks and opportunities For HusCompagniet, climate change presents opportunities to bring new, lower-carbon house concepts and alternative energy technologies to our customers. It also presents risks that we must mitigate. In 2019, HusCompagniet conducted a detailed assessment of risks and opportunities in line with the TCFD recommendations, which were updated in 2021 and 2022. As detailed in the strategy section of our TCFD disclosures (p. 75), the analysis explored the implications for the business model and strategy in the context of three scenarios based on groupings of IEA (International Energy Agency), IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), WEC (World Energy Council) scenarios, and other publicly available scenarios. The analysis determined that our business model is resilient in all three scenarios. In 2024, we continued to use these insights when considering long-term exposure, and we plan to refresh the analysis as more data becomes available. Further information on HusCompagniet’s climate-related risks and opportunities can be found in the TCFD disclosures on pages 75-77. Climate risks and opportunities were further assessed as part of the double materiality assessment con- ducted in 2023 and again in 2024. Sources of HusCompagniet’s emissions The Scope 1 and 2 emissions from own operations, and un- der direct control, account for approximately 2% of HusCom- pagniet's emissions. Sustainability Environment information Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. It is an urgent global threat with implications but also opportunities for business in the future. Climate change However, 98% of HusCompagniet’s emissions in the form of upstream and downstream Scope 3 emissions are under our influence but not under direct control. Upstream emissions, which represent around 53% of Scope 3 emissions, are mostly derived from the manufacturing of building materials by our suppliers. Downstream emissions represent approximately 47% of Scope 3 emissions and are driven by the customer-use phase of houses built by HusCompagniet. Our role in these phases is more complex and requires engagement with our suppliers upstream and our customers downstream to achieve our targets. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 50 / 144 Danish building sector total CO 2 emissions 20% 10% Data sources: CO 2 emissions data from the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, the Reduction Roadmap (2022) Reduction Roadmap: Preconditions and Methodologies. Version 2 - 27 September, 2022. www.reductionroadmap.dk, and from the Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing. HusCompagniet’s estimated share of CO 2 emissions from construction of detached and semi-detached units is based on 2024 market share estimates. CO 2 emission break down Total CO 2 emissions in Denmark The building sector accounts for ~30% of Denmark’s CO 2 emissions, of which the construction of new buildings (all types of buildings) accounts for 3%-points. HusCompagniet operates as a key player in the semi-detached and detached housing sub-markets.

This target was reached already in 2022 as 45% of houses are with renewable heating sources (geothermal or heat pump), and 55% with district heating, which on average was 70% renewable in 2022. Actions to mitigate climate change To achieve our emission reduction targets, we are focus- ing our efforts on the following levers, where we have the biggest impact. 1. Low-carbon building materials As a large player in our sector, we see potential in leveraging our centralised purchasing and product development efforts to achieve emission reductions across the value chain. We are in a continuous dialogue with our suppliers about more sustainable products and transparent documentation of cli- mate data. These efforts are further strengthened by an in- creased use of wooden elements produced at our factories. 2. Renewable energy Renewable energy heating solutions have a substantial impact on the total lifecycle CO 2 emissions of a home. For instance, phasing out natural gas heating has reduced emis- sions from the use phase of our houses by 30% compared to 2019. In January 2022, we phased out gas as an energy source in our offering. Phasing out natural gas in households is an important part of achieving Denmark’s common goal of reducing CO 2 emissions by 70% by 2030 (compared to a 1990 baseline). 3. Recycling and reuse In the longer term, we will focus on the end-of-life/demolition phase, starting with materials selection, shifting towards more readily recycled and reused materials, thereby reduc- ing future downstream scope 3 emissions. HusCompagniet has the least influence on the end-of-life phase. We continue to partner with demolition firms that focus on the reuse of materials and encourage circular and other innovations that further close the loop in the lifecycle of a house. 4. Own operations We are reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions from HusCom- pagniet’s own operations by focusing on switching to electric vehicles. We expect to investigate power purchasing agreements as a means of contributing to actual additional renewable energy production being added to the grid in the future. The latter is a more efficient means to a transition to renewable energy than the purchase of certificates of origin, which in our opinion do not contribute to this transition. 20% reduction in CO2 emissions per built m2 from the production of building materials for our standard house HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 52 / 144 Actions in 2024 Building materials In 2024, the LCA of a standard house was updated for the third time, showing a 20% reduction from the production of building materials and 29% reduction from materials throughout the lifecycle. Further details on LCAs of our houses are provided on pages 53-54. In our work to reduce CO 2 emissions from building materials, sustainable sourcing continues to be an area of focus alongside collaboration with suppliers with a view to further improving supply availability and traceability. In 2024, we have increased our efforts to improve transparency through a focus on EPDs (Environmen- tal Product Declarations) of the materials and products we use for our houses. This focus makes it possible to compare different suppliers of similar products as well as products from the same suppliers and is the basis for decision-making when changing to lower-carbon versions of known materials, or to completely new materials. Waste at the construction site is currently not included in LCAs. A first step in the work on waste reduction is obtaining valid and consistent data on actual waste quantities of each fraction, and in 2024 we have continued our close dialogue with our waste handling companies, so that we can secure data and document the recycling percentage from every single construction site, which will be necessary in order to report according to the EU taxonomy, and also from 2025 according to the ESRS and expected new requirements in the Danish building code. Customer use phase In 2024, the percentage of houses with solar panels in- creased to 21% compared to 20% in 2023. Furthermore, we started offering charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EV) as a standard on all new detached houses in partner- ship with the electricity supplier “OK”. Own operations We have been working to install EV charging stations in all offices, and after completing a full roll-out in 2021 we have in 2024 further increased the number of charging stations at some of our large offices as we move towards our 2025 target. We are monitoring developments in the EV market closely, and in 2024 we have started replacing both smaller and larger vans with EVs and begun installing charging in- frastructure also at employees’ homes (with company cars). As part of this process, a downsizing of our vans has been initiated, as smaller vans have longer range. While remaining firmly committed to the full electrification of our fleet, we expect to be able to reach this in 2028. Emissions in 2024 Scope 1 & 2 emissions Scope 1 emissions were down 11% compared to 2023, and down 50% compared to our base year 2019. This can be explained by the decrease in our activities, and by the tran- sition to electric vehicles, moving emissions from Scope 1 to Scope 2. Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were up 9% compared to 2023 and down 19% compared to our base year 2019. As with Scope 1, this can be explained by the decrease in our activities, combined with emissions from electric vehicles increasing as our fleet is electrified. The carbon intensity of our operations (market based) in- creased by 32% from 20.0 kg CO 2 e per m 2 to 26.3 kg, due to the decrease in our deliveries from 2023 to 2024. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 53 / 144 56% of sold houses have one or more of the following alternative energy sources. 25% of sold houses have installed air source heat pumps 22% of sold houses have installed geothermal heating pumps 21% of sold houses have installed solar panels Percene o deched houses sod wih renewbe ener sources in 2024 Deveopmen in percene o deched houses wih sor pnes. Scope 3 emissions In 2024, we have, for the third time, updated the climate calculation of our baseline house with the newest products and data to get an updated status on the achievement of our targets. The calculation shows that CO 2 emissions from the building of our baseline house have been reduced by 20% and emissions from materials throughout the entire life cycle have been reduced by 29% compared to 2019. See more details on page 53. The additional reductions come from aerated concrete, LESS-masonry and solid ground floor insulation. Scenario calculations & SBTi In 2024, we also made scenario calculations for which additional reductions we can expect going towards 2025. They show that by implementing existing, best-in-class low- CO 2 materials, we can expect a reduction of 20-25% in the emissions from the production of materials. Such scenario calculations are uncertain, as it is not possible to precisely predict future emissions from existing and potential new suppliers. The calculations also show that if wooden frames are implemented in the entire portfolio, the reduction in emis- sions from the production of materials is 42%. However, when looking at materials throughout the entire lifecycle (which is the focus of our 2030 target), the reduction with wooden frames is 31%, as CO 2 is released at the end of life of wood. These scenarios highlight that our 2025 target, while ambi- tious, is realistic, even though it is not possible nor our ambi- tion to roll out wooden frames throughout our entire portfolio. In 2023, wooden frames were for the first time implemented in houses for the detached segment. To reach our 2030 target, more radical reductions from ourselves and from our suppliers will be necessary. 2022 20242023 21% 17% 14% HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 54 / 144 In 2024, we have therefore to committed to SBTi (Sci- ence-based Targets initiative), and in 2025 to set new targets for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions (both short-term (5-10 years) and long-term (2050)). Living up to new regulatory requirements in Denmark In March 2021, the Danish government published the Nation- al strategy for sustainable construction, “National strategi for bæredygtigt byggeri”, which set out expected future requirements for CO 2 emissions from buildings over a life cycle (LCA). We welcome initiatives towards more sustaina- ble housing, and HusCompagniet is well-positioned to meet the requirements. We could even wish for more ambitious requirements. According to the agreement, all new-builds below 1,000 sqm require a climate calculation (a simplified LCA) from 1 Janu- ary 2023. In 2023 and 2024, buildings with emissions under 8.0 kg CO 2 e/m 2 /year belong to the voluntary low-emission class. From 1 July 2025, a threshold of maximum 6.7 kg CO 2 e/m 2 /year will be introduced, supported by increased documentation requirements for CO 2 emissions during the construction process, which must not exceed 1.5 kg CO 2 /m 2 / year. New emission factors will apply as of 2025, conse- quently reducing the CO 2 emissions from energy consump- tion for operation resulting. This will result in a reduction of the average LCA calculation incl. energy consumption for operation from 7.8 to 6.4. It is worth noting that our climate calculations are not directly comparable to our baseline house, which has therefore been updated separately. This is because the building materials and elements included in the calculations have changed, so that for instance installations are now included in the calcula- tions, and because the generic data used have also been substantially updated. The test phase of the voluntary sustainable building class (to which we contributed back in 2021) was prolonged to December 2023. We monitor any further development of this class closely and take part in an ongoing dialogue with the authorities where we contribute with our perspective. Our own testing of the class back in 2021 has prepared us for any coming regulatory requirements. On a more local level, that of municipalities, we currently see constraints on choice of for example facade materials. These could hinder the introduction of new lower-carbon alternatives. Environmental responsibility Our contribution is to further increase the focus on the full life cycle of a home and the integration of circular thinking and environmental stewardship. We aim to further under- stand and integrate environmental and biodiversity con- siderations into our business model, from the ecosystems of the land we build on, to our construction processes and materials. This will include, for instance, increasing the re- use and recyclability of our building materials, and improving waste management on our construction sites as well as our production facilities. Materials used for HusCompagniet houses are mainly locally sourced, reducing the environmen- tal impact of transportation. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 55 / 144 Reuse, Recycle and Recovery 2019 2023 2024 Climate – building materials in the lifecycle End of life / Demolition Currently, HusCompagniet has the least influence on the end- of-life phase. Our main contribu- tion is through the selection of more readily recycled or reused building materials. Production of materials Target 2025: 35% reduction of CO 2 emissions from the production of building materials, base year 2019. House construction Living in the house – energy consumption Target 2025: 60% of houses ordered with renewable energy sources. Considered reached. 45% of houses are with renewable heat- ing sources (in 2022) (geothermal or heat pump), and 55% with district heating, which on average is 70% renewable. We use materials which contain secondary (recycled) raw materials (e.g. insulation) and we expect this to increase in the future. We work to prevent waste at the con- struction site by precise quantification and by increase waste sorting. Living in the house: replacement Downstream scope 3 emissions Emissions from replacement of building materials and components throughout the lifecycle of the house (B4). Downstream scope 3 emissions When a house reaches the end of its lifetime and is torn down, how materials are disposed, recycled, recovered and reused have a substantial impact on lifecycle CO 2 emissions (C3-C4). To take stock on the achievement of our 2025 and 2030 targets for emissions from building materials, we update the CO 2 figures for the materials where we have either replaced the material, or our suppliers have come up with new CO 2 data. This is done with the help of an external third party: an independent consulting engineer. Upstream scope 3 emissions Emissions from the production of building materials (A1-A3). We continue to partner with dem- olition firms that focus on reuse of materials, and encourage circular and other innovations that further close the loop in the lifecycle of a house.

This oper- ating model gives us a high degree of agility and efficiency. Our operating model also means that we must work closely with our subcontractors to ensure that they also perform satisfactory on safety, quality and sustainability standards. Our employees are the most important asset at HusCompagniet, and their knowledge and insights are among our strongest capabilities. We rely on them to facilitate and deliver high-quality homes for families and do so safely. We support and engage our people through focusing on safety, well-being, diversity and inclusion.

In addition to complying with the Danish working environment regulations, the policy also covers a range of initiatives to prevent accidents and ensure that all partners comply with the same working envi- ronment standards and procedures as we do. By analysing risks and monitoring accidents we aim to ensure that we have the right capabilities, processes and tools applicable. To monitor safety for both our own employees and our sub- contractors, we make regular safety and work environment performance reporting. We value transparent and accurate The health and safety of our employees and subcontractors is an unwavering priority for HusCompagniet and is an area of constant focus. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 59 / 144 reporting, as it is the outset for improving safety perfor- mance, and we work to push towards complete coverage. As part of our safety reporting, we also have a preventive safety register on-site that is integrated into our online project management system. The system enables our construction managers and subcontractors to register safety incidents and pre-emptive safety risk issues such as near misses, observations and safety incidents in the app we already use in the construction process. Our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct further detail our expectations of both employees and subcontrac- tors, and we are firmly committed to uphold the highest safety standards on our construction sites. Tryg Arbejdsplads (Secure workplace) Tryg Arbejdsplads is our transformational programme to create a safe and secure workplace for our employees and contractors. The programme includes a broad range of initi- atives such as systematic incident & observation reporting, better construction site architecture, special focus on work- ing at heights as well as electrical hazards. The programme also includes initiatives to improve competencies among our own and subcontractors’ employees and more visible leadership through regular site visits, clear communication and follow up. Actions in 2024 With all activities under Tryg Arbejdsplads implemented in 2023, efforts were made in 2024 to continuously improve safety performance both inhouse by – as an example – introducing luminescent work clothes to improve employee visibility in production and the technical department. The results of our annual voluntary workplace assessment- showed a high level of safety in the working environment and high scores on e.g. diversity and inclusion. Furthermore, we focused on increasing employee aware- ness of near-misses, for example by evaluating the ones registered. Specific measures have been implemented in our factories to minimise incidents involving nail guns. 9.6 LTIf Total (Lost Time Injury frequency - own employees and subcontractors) 2025 focus Maintaining safety awareness will be our key focus for 2025. The following specific activities are planned: Implementing a structured registration of near misses for both our own employees and subcontractors as part of the implementation of our Quality, Health, Safety and Environment platform. Maintain focus on construction managers performing safety walks on their respective construction sites. Safety performance in 2024 With an overall LTIf of 9.6 accidents per million man- hours, down 20% compared to 2019, we were above our 2025 target of 30% improvement. 2024 LTIf for own employees was 13.5 and 7.3 for subcontractors. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 60 / 144 Employee well-being Meeting our customers’ expectations every day requires us to bring together a broad range of people and skill sets, from sales to architecture and construction management. To improve employee engagement and well-being, we continue to work with development and engagement initiatives that improve team dynamics and communication. HusCompagniet uses a psychometric tool to measure and improve employees’ awareness of strengths and develop- ment areas, and to promote understanding of different per- sonality types working together. It is part of our goal to en- able better communication both among our employees and in client engagement, and we have had positive feedback and commitment from many employees. In 2024, all new em- The physical and mental well-being of our people is of utmost importance to HusCompagniet. ployees were also tested according to the system, with many already completing it during the recruitment process. In 2024, sick leave decreased to 3.2% down from 4.7% in 2023. However, it is still above our 2025 target of 2% and unfortunately due to serious, long-term illnesses that has struck a number of employees in 2024. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 61 / 144 Training and skills development Employee engagement Since 2020, we have been conducting an annual employ- ee satisfaction survey measuring areas such as satisfac- tion and loyalty as well as questions concerning health and safety, diversity and inclusion. The survey includes employees of the entire Group, comprising all Danish and Swedish employees. The survey yielded a response rate of 87%, with a satisfaction score of 77% (2023: 77%), and a loyalty score of 85% (2023: 84). As part of the survey, we also achieved an employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of 43 compared to 41 in 2023. In 2024, progress was thus made on loyalty and eNPS while satisfaction was in line with 2023. Our results are in line or better than the top quartile benchmark results (GELx benchmark defined by companies with 300-2000 employees). For employee sat- isfaction our result of 77 is in line with top quartile bench- mark results (77) and our loyalty score of 85 is above top quartile benchmark results (84). We see our own progress as an expression of employee feedback leading to con- crete changes experienced by the employees. The results of the survey have been shared with local managers, who are tasked with engaging their teams to develop action plans based on the survey results. Our organisational structure, with smaller teams, is well posi- tioned to anchor efforts at the local level, with our central HR team following progress on local action plans. As such, the implementation of initiatives will be customised to suit the needs of each department at the discretion of managers, who drive our local efforts to improve employee well-being across our organisation. Employee turnover decreased to 22% (including redundan- cies) from 34% in 2023. We see our own progress as an expression of employee feedback leading to concrete changes experienced by the employees. 77% Satisfaction score in employee survey In 2024, approximately 20 construction managers complet- ed a tailored leadership education programme, and at the beginning of 2025 the remaining construction managers will participate in the same programme. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 62 / 144 Diversity & inclusion This section includes our statutory reporting on diversity & inclusion. At HusCompagniet, we strive to provide a diverse and inclusive work environment with equal opportunities. This approach is anchored in our diversity policy, for which the Group CEO has overall responsibility. The construction sector has traditionally been a male-dominated industry, which poses a challenge for the industry and for Hus- Compagniet. We seek to increase the representation of the underrepresented gender on all management levels through the initiatives of our diversity policy. Further, we continue to focus on increasing generel diversity in our organisation. The starting point for improving the gender diversity of our workforce is to monitor the demographics of our employees with the aim of tracking and improving gender balance over time. The ratio of woman and of woman with management responsibility in the Group increased in 2024. (See page 74 for the gender distribution of our workforce). We encourage people to apply for positions in HusCom- pagniet irrespective of gender, age, nationality, sexual orien- tation, religion, political opinions or ethnicity, and decisions regarding recruitment, promotion and dismissal are not influ- enced by these. We continuesly review our recruitment and promotion processes to adjust and mitigate for any biases and in 2024 we developed written guidelines for recruitment and our central Human Ressource function trained all our managers in these guidelines in 2024. Our employees have equal opportunities for career devel- opment and management ambitions, which are discussed as part of the yearly performance reviews. We also measure the impact of our diversity and inclusion efforts by using our annual employee engagement survey. In 2024, the response rate was 87%. Of the employees who responded, the diversity and inclusion score was 89. In the survey, employees responded to inclusion-related questions. The question "At my workplace, there are equal oppurtuni- ties for everone (regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, etc.)" reached a score at 89, while "In my department, we speak to each other properly and treat each other with respect" also reached a score at 89. Board diversity The tone set by top management is important, not least when it comes to diversity and inclusion. In 2024, the Board of Direc- tors comprised 2/6 women and 4/6 men, which constitutes an equal distribution of gender according to the Danish Business Authority's guidelines and fulfils our target of 40% representa- tion of the underrepresented gender. Our ambition is to maintain equal gender distribution on the Board of Directors and retain our 2025 and 2030 target of 40% representation of the underrepresented gender on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors represents comprehensive experience from a wide range of industries as well as diverse sets of com- petences to reflect the company’s strategy and purpose. Management diversity In 2024, the executive management team and their direct reports with employee responsibility saw an increase of one woman, bringing the ratio of women to 40% compared to 30% in 2023. With the current gender distribution, HusCom- pagniet has already obtained its 2025 targets of achieving 25% representation of women among the executive manage- ment team and their direct reports with employee responsibil- ity as well as its 2030 target of 30%. The current diversity ratio does not include vacant or interim positions, and the previous- ly set targets are therefore maintained without adjustments. Going forward, diversity initiatives will continue to be in focus going to support increased diversity in management through- out the Group with an overall ambition to reach equal gender representation.

For targets at Group level, please refer to page 34 and 63 HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 63 / 144 Respect for labour rights and human rights We work to advance these principles both in our own organ- isation and among our business partners, subcontractors and suppliers. Our Sustainability Policy, internal Standards of Business Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct reflect our commitment to the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and its principles related to human rights and labour rights, among other areas. We respect our employees' right to freedom of association and collective bargaining The construction industry in general has been scrutinised for labour issues, particularly in relation to vulnerable groups, such as migrant workers. This is a dilemma across geogra- phies because the legal minimum wage may not necessarily reflect a living wage. We have minimum wage requirements integrated into our subcontractor agreements and have contractually secured our right to audit. HusCompagniet does not tolerate social dumping and will terminate subcon- tractors who engage in this practice, and we have a close positive dialogue with unions on these matters. Going forward, we will continue to work with our suppliers and subcontractors to promote sound working conditions and protect human and labour rights throughout HusCom- pagniet’s value chain. In 2024, no breaches of our Supplier Code of Conduct relating to human rights were identified. HusCompagniet is committed to respecting human rights and labour rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO). HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 64 / 144 Working against corruption and in support of environmental responsibility, human rights and labour rights throughout our value chain is an essential part of our license to operate. Our sector is often exposed to challenges related to business ethics, labour relations and working conditions. Through our long-standing, recurring business relationships, we are well-positioned to address responsible business principles in collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors. Governance information HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 65 / 144 Business conduct The Board is responsible for the overall oversight and mon- itoring of our business conduct. This is done through an an- nual review of our policies to ensure they are fit for purpose and address the correct issues for the organisation. The Executive Management team ensures awareness of our commitments to business ethics and integrity by setting a clear tone from the top. In 2024, safety in the workplace for both our own employees and for our many subcontractors has been an important topic for the Executive Management team that has resulted in a detailed and operational manual on the working environment which was distributed to all sub- contractors in 2023 and fully implemented in 2024. In 2025, the Executive Management team has together with the Board of Directors decided to promote further awareness of our policies relating to business ethics and IT and data security with the aim to further strengthen our corporate culture and to enchance the awareness of our whistleblower system. We are committed to providing a safe enviroment for employees to speak up if they witness misconduct. If em- ployee's or business partners see or suspect a violation of applicable laws or HusCompagniet's policies or procedures, we depend on them to report it to our whistleblower system. The awareness campaigns will be carried out centrally from the Executive Management team and local leaders as well as in direct communication through townhalls, newsletters, education sessions and on the intranet. Code of Conduct HusCompagniet’s Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct for Suppliers set out our approach to business conduct and are integrated into our contracts, operations and HR manuals throughout our organisation. They include HusCompagniet’s 0 Concerns of breaches to our Anti-Corruption Policy or Code of Conduct were reported in 2024 HusCompagniet’s approach to business conduct is embedded within the responsibilities of our Board of Directors and the Executive Management team, anchored in policies, and integrated into our contracts, operations and manuals. requirements for employees and business partners on sub- jects such as health, climate and environment, labour rights, business ethics and anticorruption as well as human rights and trade sanctions. The General Counsel is responsible for the Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which are reviewed annually. Whistleblower system Our whistleblower system provides employees and business partners with a confidential channel for addressing concerns or breaches of our ethical standards without fear of reprisal. The system is operated by an independent third-party provider and can be accessed via HusCompagniet’s intranet and from our public websites. All whistleblower reports are initially considered by an independent law firm and depend- ing on the matter of the report, investigations are made either by an independent law firm or internally. The process of investigation is based on dialogue between our General Counsel and the independent law firm and will always prior- itise the interest of the whistleblower and comply with our whistleblower policy. All reports to the whistleblower system are treated confidentially and whistleblowers are protected from retaliation of any kind. In 2024, we did not receive any whistleblower reports. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 66 / 144 Anti-corruption and bribery As a company operating in the construction sector, our main business ethics risks lie in our collaboration with third parties. As such, we take active measures to ensure that our business partners understand and uphold our ethical stand- ards. All our suppliers are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which reflects our commitment to the UN Global Compact and aligns with our Anti-Corruption and Business Ethics Policy. When working with suppliers and subcontractors, HusCom- pagniet requires compliance with all applicable regulation. All new contracts as well as renewals of existing contracts require suppliers to sign our Supplier Code of Conduct. All purchasing agreements with suppliers and subcontractors include a requirement to comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes elements of human and labour rights, anti-corruption and environmental sustainability. We encourage our suppliers to further promote its principles within their own organisations and supply chains. Non-com- pliance, or where a supplier or subcontractor demonstrates a lack of improvement, may result in termination of the busi- ness relationship. Our construction managers monitor our subcontractors and a list of sanctions for non-compliance has been created. To mitigate the risk of breaches, HusCompagniet negotiates the purchase of key materials categories directly with man- ufacturers, centralising a large portion of our procurement and enabling long-term relations with key materials suppli- ers. Additionally, substantial purchasing decisions are made at the relevant authority level, and approval processes have been put in place. Supplier agreements above a specific threshold must be approved by our Executive Management. Smaller materials categories are sourced from builders' merchants, and subcontractors used for the construction process are typically managed locally to enable flexibility. We are aware that flexible and decentralised decision mak- ing has the downside of potentially increased risk in terms of business ethics. At HusCompagniet, we have a zero-tolerance policy against corruption and bribery in any form, and we are firmly committed to conducting our business responsibly. Our business operations are regulated by our Anti-Corruption and Business Ethics Policy, which details our approach to combating corruption and formulates our company’s position on the matter. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 67 / 144 Management of relationships with suppliers HusCompagniet has a lean structure, and we work with local subcontractors for most of our construction work. As such, we maintain close co-operation with our subcontractors to ensure that they perform satisfactorily on safety, quality and sustainability standards. Over the years, we have built long- term, recurring working relationships with our suppliers and subcontractors, which has led to an efficient, standardised operating model across projects. This includes yearly meetings with all subcontractors and suppliers to ensure a continuous dialogue, making it possi- ble to solve any emerging issues early on rather than taking legal actions. The project management of construction sites is conducted via an app, which is also utilised by subcontrac- tors for safety registrations. In 2024, we have continued to proactively ensure that our subcontractors complete safety registrations, including near-miss reports. We also work in partnership with our suppliers to reduce emissions across our value chain with a particular focus on documentation of sustainability and testing new products (for details, see page 52 in the Environmental Information section). Political influence and lobbying activities HusCompagniet does not make any direct or in-kind finan- cial contributions to political parties, elected representatives or those seeking political office. HusCompagniet has since 2023 been a member of the na- tional trade and business association Danish Confederation of Industries. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 68 / 144 We have assessed HusCompagniet’s business operations in relation to the EU Taxonomy and the economic activities outlined in the Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts. The EU Taxonomy, developed by the European Commission, is a science-based classification system designed to identify economic activities that are environmentally sustainable and have a significant positive impact on the climate and environment. For each relevant business activity, HusCom- pagniet must report the proportion of Revenue (turnover), capital expenditure (CAPEX), and operating expenses (OPEX) that qualify as eligible and aligned under the taxon- omy. A successful green transition must include both new-builds and renovation, and we applaud that both activities have been included in the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities as long as the relevant technical criteria are met. At Hus- Compagniet, we welcome this development towards a uni- form classification system of sustainable activities, ensuring a level playing field and providing investors and stakehold- ers with clarity on how companies' activities are aligned with the green transition. Furthermore, we see strategic value in the EU Taxonomy beyond reporting and compliance. Howev- er, HusCompagniet’s progress depends on the interests and ambitions of our customers to align their projects with these requirements, particularly in the Semi-Detached segment. Taxonomy-Eligible activities We have identified our taxonomy-eligible activities by reviewing the economic activities outlined in the Climate Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) EU Taxonomy Assessment 2024 Revenue OPEX CAPEX Taxonomy-eligible activities 7.1 Construction of new buildings 100% 97% 42% 6.5 Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles 0% 0% 49% Taxonomy-non-eligible activities or activities not covered Non-eligible activities 0% 3% 9% Sum of Activities 100% 100% 100% 2021/2139), the Complementary Climate Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214), the Environmental Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486), and the amendments to the Climate Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485). We do not carry out any activities relating to the generation of nuclear energy and fossil gas as per delegated regulation 2022/1214 and hence consider these economic activities not applicable. Through this screening process, we have determined that two activities listed in the Climate Delegated Act are eligible. Our EU Taxonomy reporting scope for 2024 includes: Climate change mitigation, Climate change adaptation, Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resourc- es, Transition to a circular economy, Pollution prevention and control, Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.) Eligible economic activities for the financial year 2024 in HusCompagniet are: Climate change mitigation: 7.1 Construction of new buildings/3.1 Circular economy under construction of new buildings 6.5 Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles Taxonomy-Aligned activities Alignment reporting has for FY 2024 been increased to include all six activities (Climate change mitigation, Climate change adaptation, Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, Transition to a circular economy, Pollution prevention and control, Protec- tion and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.) For an eligible economic activity to be classified as sustainable and aligned, it must further comply with the technical screening criteria of the activity by contributing to at least one of the six environmental objectives, whilst doing no significant harm to the remaining objectivates. EU minimum safeguards: Along with complying with the technical screening criteria, the Group must meet the safeguard requirements for human rights, anti-corruption, fair competi- tion and taxation. Due to insufficient data quality and a lack of demand for projects fully meeting the technical screening criteria for activity 7.1 Construction of new buildings, we report no taxonomy align- ment for the financial year 2024. The taxonomy is continually evolving, and we face chal- lenges with asymmetrical alignment requirements between activity 7.1 Construction of new buildings and activity 8.4 Acquisition and ownership of buildings, under which our partners typically report. We are closely monitoring these developments.

In 2024, revenue is assessed to be 100% eligible, unchanged from 2023. Capex In 2024, capex was allocated to the economic activities 7.1: Construction of new buildings and 6.5: Transport by motor- bikes, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles. The Taxonomy-eligible capex share for 7.1 Construction of new buildings decreased from 64% to 42%, reflecting a 22 percentage point decline. This was primarily due to fewer capitalised costs for factories in Sweden and Esbjerg. Conversely, the Taxonomy-eligible capex share for 6.5 Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commer- cial vehicles increased significantly, rising from 12% to 49%. This was mainly driven by a substantial transition from lease cars to electric vehicles (EVs). Opex In 2024, we continued to include non-capitalised leases as opex of taxonomy-non-eligible activities based on updated- guidance received during the year. The Taxonomy-eligible opex share increased from 76% to 97%, primarily driven by higher costs related to service and maintenance of factories in Sweden and Esbjerg. The eligible operating expenses increased from DKK 473,000 in the prior year to DKK 1,763,000 in 2024, reflecting a refined approach and an expanded interpretation of eligible costs in line with updated guidance.

All revenue streams are related to the construction of a house. Approx. 87% is constructed on third party land. For the remaining part, land is owned by HusCompagniet. In the sales process, land and house will be divided into two con- tracts for the private customer. Yet, HusCompagniet does not speculate in land and will solely sell land in connection with construction of a house. Therefore, it is assessed that the revenue stream from land is within scope 7.1. and thus, taxonomy eligible. Taxonomy-eligible OPEX This is the maintenance and repair OPEX related to our as- sets associated with taxonomy-eligible economic activities, primarily of maintenance cost of our two factors as a pro- portion of the maintenance and repair OPEX of our ‘Other external expenses’.

The Tax- onomy-eligible share of investments primarily relates to 7.1. Construction of new buildings. Items include, but are not limited to, additions to production facility equipment, investments in development or IT. To avoid double counting, we have calculated the percent- age of eligible CAPEX by excluding non-eligible CAPEX from total CAPEX for all asset classes.

Sustainability and climate are items in the Board’s annual wheel, meaning that climate risks are considered at least once annually, or more frequently as needed. Climate-related risks are an important part of HusCompagniet’s overall ESG risk considerations, and are incorporated into strategic discussions, in annual business planning, and in annual reporting. Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate- related risks and opportunities The Executive Management team is responsible for assessing and managing climate-related risks. The Group CEO and Group CFO are actively involved in the sustainability strategy process, and the oper- ationalisation of the sustainability focus areas is owned by the Head of Business Development. HusCompagniet has a Steering Committee for Sustainability, count- ing Executive Management, Marketing, Purchasing and Business De- velopment, Legal, Finance and HR to further structure and strengthen our work towards our climate targets. TCFD Recommendation 2024 Disclosures Strategy Describe the climate- related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium, and long term HusCompagniet has assessed the risks and opportunities that we may be exposed to as a result of climate change in accordance with the TCFD recommendations. We have defined the following time frames: 0-3 years is considered to be short-term, 4-10 years to be medium -term, and more than 10 years to be long-term. In 2024, we assessed these adjustments to still be valid. Short-term (0-3 years) risks identified: Political risk from increased prices on emissions or standards; political push to bring new low-carbon products to market before they are fully tested; political preference for incentivising renovations instead of new-builds; tech- nology-related risks from investments in unsuccessful new, renew- able technologies; the physical risks identified were all expected to manifest in the longer term. Medium-term (4-10 years) risks identified: Reputational risks from potential shifts in consumer and market preferences towards low-car- bon products; political ambitions of allocating more landmass to nature, resulting in reduced availability of plots suitable for commer- cial development. Long-term (more than 10 years) risks identified: Physical risks from: Reduced availability of plots without exposure to flooding or other weather hazards available for development; construction times marginally prolonged from chronic changes in weather patterns, such as heavier rainfall and increased temperatures; rising sea levels and heightened risk of flooding may impact the availability of develop- ment plots; increased accuracy in pricing; physical climate risks into mortgage and insurance policies may affect demand. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 75 / 144 TCFD Recommendation 2024 Disclosures Strategy Describe the climate- related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short-, medium- and long-term HusCompagniet continues to identify the potential opportunities from climate change. To address the current and expected shift in consum- er demand towards more sustainable house offerings, we launched our Climate-Improved House in 2021 and tested it against the vol- untary sustainable building class. Since then, we have continued to work on integrating solutions from the climate-improved house into our portfolio. Sustainable house offerings might also lead to increased market share in the house market as well as in new markets as consumer preferences shift towards low-carbon solutions. This development might be further accelerated if increased climate-related damage on the existing property mass results in an increased demand for new houses. Describe the resilience of the organisation’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario In 2019, we conducted our first qualitative scenario analysis in alignment with the TCFD recommendations. The analysis explored the implications to the business model and strategy in the context of three scenarios based on groupings of IEA, IPCC, WEC scenarios, and other publicly available scenarios. The three scenarios explored were: a scenario based on “business as usual” and current policies, a scenario based on stated political commitments, and a decarbon- isation scenario resulting in no more than a 2°C increase in average global temperatures. Each scenario included an overlay of the physi- cal risks posed by the corresponding temperature increase based on data projecting the physical changes specific to Denmark prepared by DMI in accordance with the IPCC scenarios. The analysis showed that our business model can be made resilient in all three scenarios. In 2024, we continued to use these insights when considering long- term exposure. TCFD Recommendation 2024 Disclosures Risk management Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying and assessing climate- related risks In 2019, the Management conducted a detailed assessment of risks and opportunities in line with the TCFD classifications, which is refreshed on an annual basis. As we continue to work towards our ambitions and targets, risk management procedures will be put into place. HusCompagniet follows the developments of green building standards and certifications closely. We continue to increase our understanding and integration of physical climate risks into deci- sion-making and strategy. Describe the organisation’s processes for managing climate-related risks Climate-related risks are evaluated on an annual basis, and action will be taken if and when needed. We continue to strengthen our ongoing processes for climate risk management. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 76 / 144 TCFD Recommendation 2024 Disclosures Metrics and targets Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate- related risks are integrated into the organisation’s overall risk management We identify climate-related risks through the process of prioritising sustainability focus areas. Climate considerations have also informed our product development. Processes for integrating climate-related risks and opportunities were continued in 2024. Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process See pages 77-78 in this report Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the related risks See pages 48-54 and 71 in this report Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate-related risks and opportunities and performance against targets See pages 43-44 in this report Scope 1, 2 and 3 CO 2 emissions are calculated based on the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol. Scope 1 are direct CO 2 emissions form the burning of fuel or natural gas. Scope 2 are indirect CO 2 emissions from the purchase of electricity. Scope 2 can be calculated as market-based or loca- tion-based, where the market-based approach uses emissions factors taking into considera- tion the purchase of green certificates (in which HusCompagniet has decided not to participate), whereas the location-based approach used emissions factors based on geographical place- ment. For Scope 3 calculations, average values of phases A1-A3 (Production), B4 (Replacement), C3-C4 (Waste processing and Waste disposal) from LCAs of our houses have been used as input, supplemented by estimates for the upstream and downstream impact categories not included in these phases. LCA: Life Cycle Assessment is a scientific meth- odology for assessing environmental impacts, including carbon footprint, for all the stages of the life cycle of a building, from extraction of raw materials used to manufacture the materials and components the building is made of, to the end of life of the building. DGNB: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachaltiges Bauen is a holistic sustainability certification for buildings, originally developed in Germany, that has been chosen by the building industry in Denmark and adapted over the years to the Danish context.

TCFD: Task Force Climate Related Disclosures is an initiative established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system. The TCFD was launched in 2015 with the goal of developing a set of voluntary, consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures for use by companies in providing information to investors, lenders, insurers and other stakeholders. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 77 / 144 Impact Likelihood Low Low High High 3 4 1 2 7 6 1 5 1 2 3 4 6 7 5 The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Group’s risk exposure is consistent with its target risk profile. The Board of Directors evaluates to ensure that the appropriate awareness and management processes are in place. Managing the risk process is part of the Group CFO's day-to-day responsibility, and developments in the main risk areas are reported to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. Risk management is based on ongoing monitoring to identify relevant risks. Our enterprise risk management practice aims to identify, monitor, assess, and mitigate risks as early as possible to manage the likelihood and potential impact. Insurances are assessed on an ongoing basis by the Group CFO and the Audit Committee to ensure sufficient cover- age is provided to mitigate the day-to-day concerns. An insurance broker assesses HusCompagniet’s coverage and reports to the Board of Directors once a year.

Board of Directors Audit Commmitee Executive Management Our people (unchanged) Health and safety (unchanged) Cyber threats (unchanged) HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 78 / 144 Macroeconomic risk Supply chain risk IT systems and information Climate risks and change in regulation Risk The Group is subject to general macroeconomic conditions, and an economic slowdown could adversely affect demand for the houses and land it sells. Geopolitical developments have had se- verely negative effects on a number of external factors resulting in a rapidly increasing inflation, increasing interest rates and declining consumer confidence in recent years. In 2024 certain mac- roeconomic factors have improved in HusCom- pagniets favour. However, there is still general macro-economic uncertainty, and sales are still below historical average. Other external factors that could have a negative impact include rate of employment, property prices, and GDP growth. The Group setup means exposure to and reliance on both own and third-party suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, and other service providers in executing its projects. Shortage of materials and/or subcontractors may result in price pressure or lack of labour for execution. This could cause liquidity strain due to the "payment at delivery" model and costs in terms of delay penalties. Increasing activity in the construction industry may negatively impact the supply chains, which are also constrained by ongoing geopolit- ical instability. The risk of production stoppages at HusCompagniet’s own production facilities can have a negative financial impact on the Group. The Group continues to integrate its IT-sys- tems to enhance control and drive efficiency. The failure of any of these systems, could restrict the Group’s operations. Failure to comply with data regulations could also trigger significant financial penalties and reputational damage. For HusCompagniet, climate risks and the ex- pected transition to a low-carbon economy can pose financial challenges. Long-, medium- and short-term climate-related risks include market risks such as shifts in consumer preferences towards low-carbon homes, policy and legal risks stemming from increased regulation, carbon taxes and tariffs. Regulation towards sustainable housing is expected to increase over the coming years, requiring necessary R&D investment in product development from house builders. Mitigation The Group diversifies its business by operating in several business areas and only acquiring a small number of highly selective strategic land plots with a high turnover rate. The Group strives to maintain its share of own land projects at around 20% of total house deliveries in Den- mark. The Group also operates a flexible cost base as most construction projects are out- sourced to subcontractors, which adds resilience to the business model in facing downturns. An order book of minimum six months visibility enables rightsizing in due time and scaling the business accordingly. During periods of economic expansion and contraction, the Group has built robust relation- ships with contractors and suppliers. The Group mitigates its reliance on individual contractors by engaging with multiple contractors wherever feasible. An overheated market can be partly mitigated through yearly negotiations on longer- term master agreements, and by cascading costs to customers. Our production facility in Sweden can partially absorb demands from Danish B2B projects in the event of production stoppages in Esbjerg. Innovation and development of new materials reduce dependency of a limited num- ber of suppliers. The Group has a strong position due to HusCompagniet’s market share. With increased digitalisation of work process- es, critical applications are monitored and managed according to business continuity plan and common standards for application development and maintenance. Segregation of duties is ensured on the Group’s applica- tion to prevent unintended usage. Further automation has been introduced to allocate access rights dedicated to each role/job function. Risk of loss of data is mitigated by a daily backup placed at a separate location and a disaster recovery plan has been imple- mented, including a yearly disaster recovery exercise. The Group data protection policy was revised in 2024. HusCompagniet integrates considerations on climate-related risks and opportunities into the Group’s strategy and operations. The Group has since 2019 implemented and publicly support- ed the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Ambitious carbon emissions reduction targets have been set towards 2025 and 2030, and efforts include continuous expansion of low-car- bon offerings in terms of materials and renewable energy solutions. The efforts taken also prepares for future regulatory changes. For the semi-de- tached offerings, a transition is expected towards solely delivering projects that are sustainability certified. Top risks HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 79 / 144 Our people Health and safety Cyber threats Risk The Group depends upon its management team and on the expertise of its key personnel and may be unable to attract and retain a highly skilled and experienced work- force. Development of and being able to attract skilled employees are critical to delivery of the Group’s strategy of profit and volume growth through quality and efficiency. The Group’s contractors may fail to operate in accordance with high ethical and safety standards and in accordance with applicable laws and regulation. The cyber threat has continued to increase. With in- creased digitalisation of business processes, a cyber-at- tack could have financial and reputational consequences for HusCompagniet. Malicious hacking activities or theft of sensitive business data, personal employee data or customer data may result in significant business disruption, monetary losses or fines and penalties from authorities. Mitigation HR processes including retaining and recruiting talent are increasingly important to the Group. The Group has a key focus on maintaining an attractive workplace with compet- itive compensation packages and a long-term incentive programme has been introduced with a view to retaining key personnel. Employee surveys are conducted on regu- lar basis to open a line of communication for all employees to provide feedback and help grow the Group. It is HusCompagniet's ambition to eliminate work-related injuries. HusCompagniet has increased the training of construction managers to engaging with contractors at building sites as well as maintaining a strong focus on safety when onboarding new contractors. Training of construction managers and contractors is ongoing and continuously in development. At HusCompagniet’s own production facilities, health and safety are closely monitored and initiatives to increase awareness and reduce the risk of injury have been imple- mented. The Group’s IT strategy comprises a continued effort to protect against cyber threats regarding IT infrastructure and business operations. Ongoing updates and invest- ments in IT equipment and new technology as well as improvements of operating procedures seek to follow good practice. Furthermore, continuous user-awareness campaigns improve user behaviour, which minimise risk of successful cyberattacks.

Last year, in May 2023, HusCompagniet issued new share capital of nominally DKK 17,500,000 divided into 3,500,000 shares, each with a nominal value of DKK 5 and carrying five votes. In connection with this issuance of new shares, HusCompagniet also entered into a new facilities agreement for the purpose of refinancing the Company's debt at the time. The primary objective of HusCompagniet’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximise shareholder value. HusCom- pagniet manages its capital structure and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, HusCom- pagniet may adjust dividend payments to sharehold- ers, acquire treasury shares or issue new shares. The financial leverage at year end 2024 was 2.6x net debt to EBITDA, well below the permitted leverage ratio. According to HusCompagniet’s facilities agree- ment, the permitted maximum leverage ratio - net interest-bearing debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA - must not exceed 3.5x. The allowed ratio for the 12-month period ending on 31 March 2024 was 4.5x, decreasing to 3.75x on 30 June 2024, and fixed at 3.5x for any 12-month period ending on or after 30 September 2024. In case of breach of financial covenants, the banks may demand immediate repayment of the full nominal amount, DKK 500,000 million. HusCompagniet complied with the financial leverage limits during all of 2023 and 2024. See Note 5.3 Net interest-bearing debt and Note 5.7 Financial risk management. HusCompagniet's covenant compliance is not expected to be compromised by impact from uncertain tax positions, see Note 6.1. Management is continuously reviewing the financing and capital structure of HusCompagniet and con- cludes on that basis that there is an appropriate and justified basis for continuing the current plans and operations of HusCompagniet. Dividends The company's dividend policy has a target initial pay-out ratio of around 50% of profit for the year in a combination between dividend payment and share buyback. The dividend policy is subject to change at the dicretion of the Board of Directors, and there can be no assurance that the Group's performance will facilitate adherence to the dividend policy and that in any given year a dividend will be proposed or declared. No dividend is proposed to shareholders in 2025. HusCompagniet expects to return to paying dividends once the leverage is back below the long-term target of 2x net debt to EBITDA.

HusCompagniet A/S and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in the financial statement as the “Group”. The Group is a leading provider of single-family detached houses in Denmark. The Group’s core activity is the design, sale and delivery of customisable high-quality detached houses in Denmark to consumers predominantly built on-site on third-party (customer-owned) land. The Group also designs, sells and delivers semi-detached houses in Denmark to consumers, predominantly on land owned by the Group, and to professional investors, both on land also owned by the Group and on land owned by investors. Investors in the semi-detached business-to-business segment often lease or sell the houses to endusers. The Group is also present in Sweden, where it produces prefabricated wood-framed detached houses in its factory, which are finalised on-site and in most cases facilitated by third-party sales agents. The annual report has been adopted by the Board of Directors at their meeting on 7 March 2025. The annual report will be presented to the shareholders of HusCompagniet A/S for approval at the Annual General Meeting. The accounting policies applied to the consolidated financial statements are described in Note 1.1. Material accounting policy information and in connection with the notes/sections to which they relate. The descriptions of accounting policies in the notes/sections form part of the overall description of accounting policies. The accounting policies applied are unchanged compared to last year. Note 1.1 Material accounting policy information The comparison of inventory items in Note 3.1 has been restated.In the Financial statements for 2023, Note 3.1 Inventories, the total inventory amounts to DKK 281 million, of which DKK 178 million is classified as 'Land' and DKK 82 million is classified as 'Show houses and semi-detached houses'. The correct numbers should have been DKK 140 million classified as 'Land' and DKK 119 million classified as 'Show hous- es and semi-detached houses' and is restated in the comparison year 2023. Change in presentation The Group decided in 2019 to discontinue its brick house-operations in Germany and Sweden. In 2020, the Group fulfilled it’s last customer contract (delivered its last house) and its revenue-generat- ing activity from sale of brick houses in Germany and Sweden ceased. Subsequently, the Group has incurred costs related to administrative tasks such as fulfillment of contract guarantees etc. The Group has in its consolidated financial statements for 2021-2023 presented such administrative costs as discontinued operations. The Group has in these consolidated financial statements changed its presentation of discontinued operations. As the Group abandoned it’s brick house-activities in Germany and Sweden in 2020, the abandonment has been presented as discontinued operation in 2020. The subsequent incurred administrative costs for the period after 2020 has been presented as part of the Group’s continuing operations. Following the change in presentation, the consoli- dated income statement line 'Profit/(loss) after tax for the period from discontinued operations' has been reduced by DKK 16 million for 2024 and increased by DKK 3 million for the comparison year 2023. The profit/loss from the discontinued operations are consolidated line by line in the consolidated income statement. The consolidated balance sheet is un- changed. Had the presentation not been changed, other external expenses for the year 2024 would have been DKK 3 million higher, operating profit DKK 3 mil- lion lower, tax on profit DKK 13 million higher and loss for the year DKK 16 million higher. Earnings per share is unchanged, however no split of EPS from discontin- ued and continued operations is disclosed. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act for class D compa- nies. The consolidated financial statements have been pre- pared on a historical cost basis, except when noted otherwise in the various accounting policies. These consolidated financial statements are ex- pressed in DKK, as it is HusCompagniet A/S’ function- al and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest DKK‘000. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the parent company, HusCompagniet A/S, and entities controlled by HusCompagniet A/S. Control exists when HusCompagniet A/S holds or has the ability, directly or indirectly, to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights or otherwise has control of the Subsidiary in question. The financial statements of The following notes are presented in Section 1: Note 1.1 Material accounting policy information 88 Note 1.2 Introduction to significant estimates and judgements 90 Note 1.3 Climate-related risks 90 HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 88 / 144 Note 1.1 Material accounting policy information (continued) subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commenc- es until the date on which control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same financial reporting period as HusCompagniet A/S using consistent accounting policies. On consolidation, intragroup balances and intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of HusCompagniet A/S and its subsidiary companies, which are listed in note 6.7. Foreign currency translation Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional cur- rency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are recognised in the income state- ment under financial items. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Group companies On consolidation, the assets and liabilities in foreign operations are translated into DKK at the spot rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at spot exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. An average exchange rate for each month is used as the exchange rate at the transaction date to the extent that this does not give a significantly different view. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the car- rying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Implementation of new or amended standards and interpretations The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective at 1 January 2024. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The Group has adopted relevant new or amended standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) as adopt- ed by the EU and which are effective for the financial year ended at 31 December 2024. The Group has assessed that the new or amended standards and interpretations have not had any material impact on the Group’s annual report in 2024. The Group expects to implement the new standards when they become effective. It has been assessed that the implementation of the new standards will not have any significant effect on recognition or meas- urement. Furthermore, new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB that have not yet become effective are generally not adopted until they become effective and endorsed by the EU. Management does not anticipate any signifi- cant impact on the Consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application from the adoption of these new standards and amendments, apart from IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ which replaces IAS 1 effective from 1 January 2027. The new IFRS 18 is expected to change the presentation of the Income statement and to dif- ferentiate between earnings from operating activities, investment activities and financing activities. IFRS 18 will also add additional disclosures but will not change any accounting policies on recognition and measure- ment, hence it will not change reported net results. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 89 / 144 Note 1.3 Climate-related risks Climate-related risks Political risks emerge from potential escalations in emission-related costs, the premature introduction on the market of untested low-carbon products, and a preference for refurbishing existing structures over new-builds. Long-term physical risks encompass the diminishing availability of lots without exposure to flooding or climatic adversities, elongated construc- tion durations due to altered weather patterns. Furthermore, the integration of tangible climate risks into the pricing models of mortgages and insurance policies could influence market demand. Reputational risks are underscored by a shift in consumer and mar- ket inclinations towards environmentally sustainable products and the political directive to allocate greater land areas to conservation, potentially curtailing land for commercial development. Management believes that climate change and climate-related restrictions in the long run can effect HusCompagniets area of business, presenting opportunities as well as risks. Accordingly, Manage- ment monitors the development and has assessed the impact on estimates and judgements related to impairment testing to be insignificant. Note 1.2 Introduction to significant estimates and judgements In preparing of the consolidated financial statements, Management made various judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning present and future events that affected the application of the Group’s ac- counting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongo- ing basis and have been prepared taking the financial market situation into consideration, but still ensuring that one-off effects which are not expected to exist in the long term do not affect estimation and determina- tion of these key factors. Estimates and judgements related to special items and business combinations are no longer significant. As a consequence of the ongoing tax case, estimates and judgements related to uncertain tax positions are assessed to be significant for the year 2024. See Note 6.1 and 6.9. Significant estimates and judgements covering specif- ic accounts are placed in each section to which they relate. Estimates related to risk of impairment and recover- ability of deferred tax assets are subject to impact from macro economic risks. Fluctuating interest rates and inflation are also assessed to have an impact on future activities and profits. Please refer to the risk management model page 78.

The development of cost of sales, other external expenses, staff costs and remuneration, and information about the Group’s low exposure to currency risk on a transaction level is also contained in this section. Note 2.1 Segment information For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on its products and services as well as geographical location. The Group has three reportable segments, as follows: • The detached houses in Denmark segment, which comprises brick houses built on sites and plots • The semi-detached and wood-frame houses in Denmark segment, which comprises brick houses built on sites and plots, includes both busi- ness-to-business and business-to-consumers • The Swedish business which comprises detached prefabricated houses Executive Management is responsible for the op- erating results of its business units for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance for 2024 is evaluated based on operating profit (EBIT). The Group's financing (including financial income and financial expenses) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments. Assets and liabilities are not allocated to segments. The segmentation reflects the internal reporting and management structure. Smaller projects of building semi-detached houses are handled through our detached segment where the project process is light. A share of 15% semi-de- tached revenue was produced in the detached segment in 2024 (2023: 19%). For segment purposes this share is reflected as inter-segment revenue and cost of sales. The inter-segment revenue carries a fixed mark-up. Transfer pricing between operating segments are determined on an arm's length basis.

For goodwill, the locations are based on the CGU allocation from the purchase price allocations. The locations for the intangible assets are determined based on the legal owner/user. Non-current assets for this purpose consist of goodwill and other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and trade- and other receivables. The Group is engaged in construction activities in Denmark and Sweden. Non-contracted sales are recognised on delivery (point-in-time) whereas contracted sales are recognised over time. Payment is typically due at the time of final delivery of the house projects in the detached segment, however a small deposit is paid upon contract negotiation. The Group receives a bank guarantee in connection with the start-up of each contract and is entitled to payment for work performed, including profit, during the project. The majority of the contracted sales in the semi-detached segment entitle the Group to on-account payments linked to the percentage of completion. Contracted sales comprise the sale of houses constructed on the customers' land, or houses sold on own land (semi-detached includes land plots) that are covered by a customer contract before construction is started. All contracted sales are fixed-price contracts. Conversely, non-contracted sales comprise of: 1. The sale of houses constructed on own land to which no customer contract has been entered into before con- struction starts. 2. The sale of detached land plots to which no customer contract has been entered into before purchase and development of the land plots.

Both of the share-based incentive schemes are classi- fied as equity based, as they settle in shares. Restricted share units In accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy, individual members of the Executive Manage- ment participate in long-term incentive programmes. The programme, first implemented in November 2020, consists of restricted share units (RSUs). Partic- ipants in the RSU programme are granted RSUs which upon vesting entitle each participant to receive, free of charge, a number of shares in the Company equal to the number of RSUs vested, as described below. RSU programmes have a vesting period of three years. Vesting is not conditional upon achieving any financial or non-financial targets, but is however conditional upon: 1. the participant remaining employed with the Group for a period of three years from the date of grant, or the participant becoming a good leaver during the vesting period, in which case only a proportionate portion of RSUs will vest and 2. the participant having complied in all respects with the general terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors Members of the Executive Management are granted participation in the long-term share-based incentive programmes as an element of remuneration as incen- tive for the Executive Management to remain focused on value creation and achievement of the Company's long-term objectives. As determined by the Board of Directors, a selected number of employees of the Company in key positions may also be eligible to par- ticipate in long-term incentive programmes on terms similar to those of the Executive Management. For the 2024 RSU programme, the grant price of each share unit corresponds to the volume weighted aver- age share price of HusCompagniet’s shares traded on Nasdaq Copenhagen in the period from 11 March 2024 until 15 March 2024. Share option incentive scheme Introduced in 2024, a share option incentive scheme is granted to the Executive Management and other key employees. Participants of the share option incentive scheme are upon exercise granted shares in the Company equivalent to the number of vested share options at a fixed exercise price. The share option programme will vest over a three- year vesting period. Vesting is not conditional upon achieving any financial or non financial targets, but is however conditional upon: 1. the participant remaining employed with the Group for a period of three years from the date of grant, or the participant becoming a good leaver during the vesting period in which case only a proportionate portion of the share-options shall vest and 2. the participant having complied in all respects with the general terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors Upon vesting, the share options may be exercised from the day after the publication of the Company’s annual report for 2026 until four weeks after the pub- lication of the Company’s annual report for 2028. For the 2024 share option programme, the grant price of each share option is determined through the Black-Scholes model based on the volume weight- ed average share price of HusCompagniet’s shares traded on Nasdaq Copenhagen in the period from 11 March 2024 until 15 March 2024. The exercise price of each share option corresponds to 110% of the volume weighted average share price of HusCompagniet’s shares traded on Nasdaq Copen- hagen in the period from 11 March 2024 until 15 March 2024. Fair value measurement For the RSU programmes issued in 2022-2023, the Group measures share-based payments at fair value at the grant date. For the RSU programme isued in 2024, the grants are based on the volume weighted average share price of HusCompagniet’s shares traded on Nasdaq Copenha- gen in the five trading days prior to the grant date. The share price at the time of allocation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the RSU programme implemented on 20 April 2022, the average remaining term to vesting for out- standing restriced shares at 31 December was approx. 0.3 years. For the RSU programme implemented on 13 April 2023, the average remaining term to vesting for outstanding restriced shares at 31 December was ap- prox. 1.3 years. For the programmes implemented on 22 March 2024, the average remaining term to vesting for outstanding restriced shares at 31 December was approx. 2.3 years. The fair value of the RSU programme granted in 2022 was DKK 8.4 million and the fair value of the RSU pro- gramme granted in 2023 was DKK 9.6 million. In 2024, the total value of the granted RSUs and share options, determined through the Black-Scholes mod- el, was DKK 10 million. In 2024, an expense of DKK 7.0 million (2023: DKK 8.9 million) was recognised in the income statement in respect of the incentive programmes. The costs for the share programmes are recognised as staff costs. Costs are reversed for participants who volentarily leave the Group (bad leavers) No reversals are made for good leavers who retain their rights to their earned RSUs.

It is the Manage- ment's belief that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the Group's Management, as they allow for evaluation of trends and the Group's performance. Since such financial measures are not calculated in the same way by all companies, they are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to be a replacement for performance measures as defined under IFRS. Note 6.7 Definition provides more detailed information regarding defini- tions of financial performance measures. Management exercises judgement in the identifi- cation of special items, considering the nature and circumstances of each transaction or event. Special items may include, but are not limited to, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, restructuring costs, impairment of assets, and other significant non-recur- ring items.

The subsidiary in the country is not affected, as income and costs are denominated in the local functional currency, and the risk is there- fore mainly related to translation of the subsidiary's income statement to the reporting currency of the consolidated income statement. Management continuously assesses the significance of the Group’s activities denominated in foreign currencies. Total revenue generated in SEK for 2024 amounted to DKK 115 million (2023: DKK 268 million). HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 99 / 144 Non-contracted sales For non-contracted sales, revenue is recognised in the income statement when the performance obli- gation is fulfilled. This is defined as the point in time when control of the non-contracted construction (sale of land plot or sales of houses constructed on own land for which no customer contract has been entered info before construction starts) is transferred to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and collection is probable. The transfer of control to customers takes place according to agreed delivery date. Furthermore, revenue is only recog- nised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the revenue amount will not occur. Cost of sales Cost of sales include costs of raw materials, cost of subcontractors and consumables incurred in generat- ing the revenue for the year. Other external expenses Other external expenses include the period’s expens- es relating to the Group’s core activities, including expenses relating to distribution, sale, advertising, administration, premises, bad debts, low-value and short-term leases, etc. Other operating income Other operating income includes income from sec- ondary activities such as gains/losses from sale of property, plant and equipment. Staff costs Staff costs include wages and salaries, including compensated absence, share-based payments and pensions, as well as other social security contribu- tions, etc. made to the Group’s employees. The item is net of refunds made by public authorities. The Group has established a long-term bonus-based share programme (LTI) in accordance with the current remuneration policy. Share-based payments are recognised over the period in which the participant renders the service entitling the participant to the payment, which, in prin- ciple, is from the date of grant until the date on which the vesting conditions have been met. The LTI programmes are classified as equity-settled plans. The value of services received as consideration for the granted right to restricted shares is measured at the fair value of the shares at the date of grant using a volume weighted average share price(VWAP). The fair value of the share options awarded is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the granted rights to restricted share units and awarded rights to share options is not subsequently adjusted. In the consolidated financial statements, the costs are recognised as staff costs and set-off in equity over the vesting period. In the parent company, costs associated with the LTI programmes related to participants employed by sub- Note 2.7 Accounting policies Revenue Revenue comprises completed construction contracts and construction contracts in progress (contracted sales), sale of land plots and show houses, and sales of show houses (non-contracted sales). It is considered appropriate to recognise the sale of properties through divestment of companies in ac- cordance with IFRS 15 and not as divested companies under IFRS 10 as it is an asset that is being divested, not a company with a business. Contracted sales Contracted sales are recognised over time accord- ing to the percentage of completion method based on estimated construction time, as all performance obligations are fulfilled on an ongoing basis through- out the construction period. The contracted sales contracts are considered to comprise only one perfor- mance obligation, as all components are considered interrelated, and any changes to the scope of a con- tract will therefore be recognised as changes to the original contract and not as a separate performance obligation. The Group is primarily responsible for the fulfilment of the performance obligation and carries the risks related to the construction and is therefore considered to act as the principal. The contracts are not assessed to have a significant financing component. The time value of the transac- tion price for contracts with a duration that exceeds 12 months, and limited on-account payments, is assessed to be insignificant, as the Group does not consume the main part of the costs until the end of the contract phase. Therefore, an adjustment of the transaction price with regards to a financing component in the contracts with customers is not required. Payment is typically due at the time of final delivery of the construc- tion, however a small deposit is paid upon contract negotiation. The Group receives a bank guarantee in connection with the start-up of each contract and is entitled to payment for work performed, including profit, during the project. Contract modifications are recognised when they have been approved by all parties to the contract. The transfer of control and recognition of revenue are determined using input methods based on construction days incurred relative to total estimated construction time for the contracts, as these methods are considered to best depict the continuous transfer of control. In all material aspects, the method equals the cost-to-cost method. The selling price is measured by reference to the total expected income from each contract and the stage of completion at the reporting date. The Group expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract, as the amortisation period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognised is less than one year. Costs in connection with sales work to secure contracts are recognised as costs in the income state- ment in the financial year in which they are incurred. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 100 / 144 Note 2.7 Accounting policies (continued) sidiaries are recognised in investments in subsidiar- ies, and a set-off to the recognised cost is recognised in equity over the vesting period. The LTI programmes are classified as equity-settled plans. Special items Special items include significant income and costs of a special nature in terms of the Group’s reve- nue-generating operating activities which cannot be attributed directly to the Group’s ordinary operating activities. Such income and costs include costs related to significant restructuring of processes and fundamental structural adjustments, as well as gains or losses arising in this connection, and which are significant. Special items also include items such as impairment of goodwill, gains and losses on the disposal of activities and transaction costs related to business combinations. These items are classified separately in the income statement in order to provide a more accurate and transparent view of the Group’s recurring operating profit. Note 2.8 Significant estimates and judgements Construction contracts, including estimated recogni- tion and measurement of revenue and contribution margin At contract inception, Management assesses if the contracts involve a high degree of individual custo- misation or contruction on customers' own land and therefore satisfy the criteria for recognition over time. The assessment is based on an analysis of, among other things, the contract provisions on: • The degree of customisation, including the potential alternative use of buildings • The date of transfer of legal title • Payment terms, including options of early termination of contract • Enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For construction contracts in the semi-detached seg- ment, Mangament considers if the contracts comprise a single or multiple performance obligations. Our contruction contracts do not include variable elements of consideration as they are fixed-price contracts. Percentage-of-completion profit recognition A fundamental condition for being able to estimate percentage-of-completion profit recognition is that project revenues, project costs and contruction time can be established reliably. The Group's implemented systems for project control and project management ensures ongoing monitoring and controlling of the underlying data that forms the basis for the reliable calculations. The assessment of project revenue and project costs is based on construction days incurred relative to total estimated construction time for the contracts as this is the method considered by experienced project management to best depict the continuous transfer of control. The construction days starting from when the permit is granted and the groundwork starts reflect the continous progress of the contruction. At year end, recognised revenue from contract assets amounted to DKK 511 million (2023: DKK 355 million); refer to note 3.2 Contract assets.

As these houses are constructed before being sold, they are recognised as inventories, and can therefore not be recognised as contracted work-in-progress. Contracted sales represents show houses and land sold at the balance sheet date but where the point in time when control transfers to the customer has not occurred due to land registration or payment not having taken place. The valuation of show houses involves inherent uncer- tainties due to the subjective nature of market trends, consumer preferences, and the unique characteristics of real estate assets.

Construction contracts (assets/liabilities) Contract assets comprise the selling price of work performed on customers' land but where the Group does not yet have an unconditional right to payment, as the work performed has not yet been finalised or approved by the customer. Included is also the selling price of work performed on own land where a building permit has been issued and the Group does have an unconditional right to payment for work performed. Contract liabilities comprise agreed, unconditional payments received on account for work yet to be performed. During 2024, the entire contract liability recognised at the beginning of the period was recog- nised as revenue. For contracts entered into in the detached segment, payment is typically due at the time of final delivery of the house project, however a small deposit is paid upon contract negotiation. The Group receives a bank guarantee in connection with the start-up of each con- tract and is entitled to payment for work performed, including profit during the project. For contracts en- tered into in the semi-detached segment, payments on account are normally linked to the percentage of completion. The increase in contract assets and net contract assets in 2024 reflects a higher level of sales activity compared to last year. Delivery obligations are secured orders from cus- tomers, where HusCompagniet is required to build a house for the customer. Credit risk on contract assets is generally managed by regular credit rating of customers and business part- ners. Furthermore, bank deposits or bank guarantees are obtained before the house is built. The credit risk exposure relating to dealing with private counter- parties is estimated to be limited. For projects in the semi-detached business, the credit risk is managed by obtaining credit rating of customers. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 103 / 144 Note 3.4 Guarantee commitments and contingent liabilities million (2023: DKK 55 million). Provisions for future costs of guarantee commitments at one and five-year reviews of houses delivered are recognised at amounts expected at the balance sheet date to be required to settle the commitment. As security for the borrowings and other liabilities, part of the assets of HC Production A/S has been pledged. The book value of the mortgaged assets amount to DKK 62 million. It can be split in the following way: As security for mortgage of DKK 9 million there is a mort- gage of nom. DKK 40 million in land and buildings with a book value of DKK 25 million. Additional commitments: • Owner’s mortgage of nom. DKK 5 million in buildings with a book value of DKK 25 million. • Company charge of nom.

In 2021, the Group opened an arbitration against a third party regard- ing a still ongoing dispute, reflected in the provisions. The Group expects a positive outcome of the arbitration. The Group has an uncertain tax position relating to tax years 2019-2021, see Note 6.1 for further description. The Tax Authorities' initial ruling has been partially recog- nised in the consolidated financial statements. There is significant uncertainty about the outcome of the disputed share that is not recognised in the consolidated financial statements. However, the Group expects a ruling in favour of HusCompagniet. Collateral DKK 8 million of cash and short-term deposits is held in restricted accounts and released when the complet- ed houses are delivered to the customers (2023: DKK 56 million). Restricted accounts are classified as other receivables. Guarantees to trade creditors The Company had issued guarantees to trade creditors of DKK 80 million at 31 December 2024 (2023: DKK 76 million). Contractual obligations The Group has no material obligations not already recog- nised as liabilities in the financial statements. The loan agreement between Nordea, Danske Bank and HusCompagniet A/S includes a negative pledge.

Ini- tial issued guarantees or deposits partially secure the trade receivables and contract assets related to the semi-detached segment. On-account invoicing during the project execution also limits the risk. The Group's trade receivables consist primarily of invoices issued shortly before delivering the house, and no key is delivered until payment is received. Provision for losses on trade receivables in 2024 and 2023 is recognised following the decision to close down the brick houses in Sweden and Germany. Amounts related to Sweden and Germany are includ- ed in discontinued operations. Credit risks are generally managed by regular credit rating of customers and business partners. The credit risk exposure relating to dealing with private counter- parties is estimated to be limited. The risk is further limited as the house is not delivered to the customer until payment has been received. Write-downs for bad and doubtful debts are conse- quently limited except for debt in discontinued opera- tions, which constitutes the main part of provision for expected credit losses in both 2023 and 2024. Other receivables Other receivables comprises restricted cash and oth- er. The cash is held in a restricted bank account until the construction is delivered to the customer. The cash is expected to be released within 6-12 months.

To address this risk, the Group obtains a bank guarantee on the agreed selling price from all customers before construc- tion starts, and the customers pay on delivery. In contracts where the scope and price are subse- quently changed, the bank guarantee is updated if Management considers the change to be significant. This eliminates the risk of debtor loss, as all payment rights are secured before the houses are delivered. Bank guarantees are obtained from primarily Danish financial institutions with a high credit rating. Credit risk is addressed by obtaining credit ratings when entering construction contracts with profession- al customers. Additionally, the credit risk is partially mitigated by bank guarantees or deposits. Impairment of other receivables amounted to nil in 2024 and 2023. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 105 / 144 Note 3.9 Significant estimates and judgements Guarantee commitments Provisions for future costs due to guarantee com- mitments are recognised at the amount expected to be required to settle the commitment at the balance sheet date.

The most significant key assumptions include the cost of expected repairs from year 1 and year 5 reviews of delivered houses. The cost estimate per year 1 and year 5 review is based on an average cost of historical repairs. At year end, guarantee provisions amounted to DKK 73 million (2023: DKK 55 million), refer to note 3.4 Provisions and contingent liabilities. Note 3.8 Accounting policies Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of raw materials includes costs of bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost of raw materials is measured on a first-in/first-out basis. Work in progress and finished houses (non-contracted construction) The cost of work in progress and finished houses (non- contracted), includes costs of direct materials and labour. The cost of land plots includes indirect costs such as development costs etc. of bringing the land to its present condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Work in progress is described further in Note 3.2 Con- tract assets and Note 2.7 Accounting policies. Trade and other receivables Receivables are measured at amortised cost. A provision is recognised according to the simplified expected credit loss model, according to which the total loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account at the same time as the receivable is rec- ognised in the balance sheet on the basis of expected loss during the total lifetime of the receivable. Other receivables include restricted cash. Provisions Provisions differ from other liabilities because there is a degree of uncertainty concerning when pay- ment will occur or concerning the size of the amount required to settle the provision. Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when a legal or informal commitment exists due to an event that has occurred and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the commitment and the amount can be estimated reliably. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost, which, in all essentials, corresponds to the net realisable value. Prepayments Prepayments comprise incurred payments of expens- es relating to subsequent financial years. Prepayments from customers Prepayments from customers comprise payments received prior to start of construction. Other liabilities Other liabilities, which include debt to public author- ities, employee-related costs payable and accruals etc., are measured at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and in hand.

Among other factors, the Group considers the relationship between its market capi- talisation and the carrying value of assets, including goodwill, when assessing for indicators of impair- ment. Impairment tests are performed separately for all three CGU’s once a year or more frequently if an indication of impairment exists. Neither in 2024 nor in 2023 did the test reveal an im- pairment need. The impairment test is an assessment of whether the cash generating units are expected to be able to generate sufficient positive net cash flow in the future to support the carrying amount of the net assets related to the CGUs. As highlighted under sensitivity changes, the conclusions from the impair- ment testing are subject to estimation uncertainty and possible future changes to key assumptions of future cash flows could result in impairments. Cash-Generating Units The Group’s CGU’s comprise: Detached houses, Semi-detached houses and Wooden houses. The discount rate is determined separately for each CGU to reflect the risks specific to each CGU. The discount rate applied is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and reflects the latest market assumptions for the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Key Assumptions The recoverable amount determined in the impair- ment tests is based on a value-in-use calculation. To determine the value-in-use, Management is required to estimate the present value of the future free net cash flows based on budgets and strategy for the coming five years (“the budget period”) as well as projections for the terminal period after the budget period. A five-year period is used to reflect a full business cycle. Assumptions used in the estimate of the present value include the discount rate, revenue growth (estimated on basis of expected units to be delivered and expected unit price) and EBIT-margin. Other assumptions include expected required investments, market share and growth expectations in the terminal period. For the impairment test, a five-year budget period was used to estimate the present value. The five-year budget period is used to reflect the future risk, which is impacted by the current geopolitical tur- moil and macroeconomic factors such as uncertainty in the housing markets, inflation, increase in interest rates etc. The expected annual growth rate and the expected margins in the budget period are based on historical experience and the assumptions about expected market developments for each CGU. The long-term growth rate for the terminal period is based on the ex- pected growth in the Danish and Swedish economy, specifically for the house building industry. In 2024, the long-term growth rate in the terminal period is set to 2.2% which is based on the 30Y German Govern- ment Bonds and a haircut. Currently, Management does not believe that climate change has a significant effect on the estimates and judgments related to the impairment assessment reference is made to Note 1.3. As stated in the note, greener sourcing will not have a negative impact on margin. 2024 2023Semi-Wooden Semi-Wooden DKK’000 Detacheddetached houses Detacheddetached housesCarrying amount of goodwill 1,760,712 5,971 242,722 1,760,712 5,971 250,498Pre-tax discount rate 11.6% 11.6% 11.2% 13.7% 13.7% 13.4%Post-tax discount rate 9.7% 9.7% 9.7% 11.2% 11.2% 11.2%Budget periodAnnual revenue growth 16.6% 25.6% 23.3% 17.4% 16.1% 8.5%Operating margin 3%-9% 3%-4% 7%-10% 3%-9% 3%-7% -5%-13%Terminal periodGrowth rate 2.2% 2.2% 2.2% 2.2% 2.2% 2.2%Operating margin 9.4% 4.5% 10.1% 9.0% 7.2% 12.7%Sensitivity analysisOperating margin – allowed decline (percentage points) 2.6% 1.5% 0.7% 1.1% 3.3% 1.3%Growth in budget period – allowed decline (percentage points) 12.2% 26.6% 2.8% 3.2% 16.5% 2.4%Growth in terminal period – allowed decline (percentage points) 4.7% 5.7% 0.8% 2.3% 8.7% 1.6%Discount rate – allowed increase (percentage points) 3.3% 4.3% 0.6% 1.4% 9.5% 1.0% HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 110 / 144 Note 4.3 Impairment (continued) CGU Detached As Danish economy show signs of strengthening, we expect that the long-term (terminal period) demand for new detached houses will increase compared to the historical levels of new buildings in Denmark. The outlook for CGU detached in 2025 is still influenced by low visibility and some uncertainty. We anticipate a more positive outlook in 2025, with a gradual recov- ery to 2022 levels expected from 2026 to 2029. We expect additions in SG&A to support and fuel rebound readiness. Additionally, we anticipate a gradual in- crease in operating margin during the budget period, approaching 2022 levels, interest rate decreases and general market conditions are expected to improve. This combined, results in a headroom of DKK 969 million. CGU Semi-detached Semi-detached business is expected to be positively impacted by a strong Danish economy compared to 2024. In addition the semi-detached business is affected to a higher degree than what is expected for the detached business. Revenue is expected to increase in 2025 supported by already won projects. Long term the outlook is likewise positive as that B2B collaborations is expected to increase gradually. Revenue from HusCompagniet Production is expect- ed to increase during the budget period compared to 2024 and be in line with the business case from the acquisition. We expect a gradual increase in the operating margin over the budget period compared to 2024 as a result of the continuous focus on margin improvements and scale. This combined, results in a headroom of DKK 176 million. CGU Wooden Houses The outlook for CGU Wooden Houses in 2025 is im- pacted by the increase in housing sales in 2024 which positively impact the orderbook for 2025. We expect a continuous gradual recovery starting from 2026 to 2029 and onwards coming back to the levels in 2021 and 2022 towards the end of the budget period. Op- erating profit is generally higher in Sweden compared to Denmark. In 2025 we expect a positive operating margin as a result of a higher order backlog, gradually rebounding towards 2029 as sales levels are expect- ed to rebound. This combined, results in a headroom of DKK 23 million. Sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis shows the lowest possible operating margin, growth rate or highest possible discount rate in percentage points by which the as- sumptions used can change before goodwill becomes impaired. Key assumptions and other assumptions are subject to estimation uncertainty especially related to the financial impact and length of the current macro- economics and how interest rates impacts the sales activities in all segments. Following the yearly update certain 2023 sensitivities have been recalculated and restated in the note. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 111 / 144 Note 4.4 Accounting policies Goodwill At the acquisition date, goodwill is recognised in the balance sheet at cost as described under Business combinations. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at least once a year. Goodwill is written down to the recov- erable amount if the carrying amount is higher than the computed recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is computed as the present value of the ex- pected future net cash flows from the enterprises or activities to which the goodwill is allocated. Impair- ment of goodwill is not reversed. The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units at the acquisition date. Identification of cash-generating units follows the internal management reporting and independent cash inflows. Intangible assets Trademarks Trademarks are initially recognised at cost. Subse- quently, trademarks are measured at cost less accu- mulated amortisation and impairment. Trademarks are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of up to 10 years. Software development projects In-progress and completed software development projects that are clearly defined and identifiable, where the technical feasibility, sufficient resources and a potential future market or potential for use in the group can be demonstrated, and where it is intended to manufacture, market or use project, are recognised as intangible assets if the cost can be reliably determined and there is sufficient assurance that future earnings or the net selling price may cover production costs, selling costs, administrative expens- es and development costs. Other development costs are recognised in the income statement under other external expenses, as costs likely to be incurred. Development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Cost includes salaries, depreciation and other costs attibutable to the Group’s development activities and borrowing costs from specific and general borrowing that relate directly to the development of develop- ment projects. Upon completion of the development work, devel- opment projects are amortised on a straight-line basis over the assessed economic life from the time the asset is ready for use. The amortisation period usually constitutes 3-5 years. The amortisation basis is reduced by any write-downs. Development projects in progress are tested for impairment on an annual basis. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings, plant and machinery and fixtures and fittings, other plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises the purchase price and costs of materials, components, suppliers, direct wages and salaries and indirect production costs until the date when the asset is available for use. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives, which are 10-30 years for buildings, 3-5 years for operating assets and equip- ment, and 3-5 years for leasehold improvements. Leases The Group has lease contracts for leaseholds, vehicles and other equipment used in its operations. Lease of leaseholds generally has lease terms of between 3 and 5 years, while vehicles generally have lease terms of between 5 and 6 years. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments. These options are negotiat- ed by Management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Group’s business needs. Management exercises judgement in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease is remeasured when changes in the underlying contrac- tual cash flows occur from e.g. changes in an index or a borrowing rate, changes in determining whether extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of leases. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulat- ed depreciation and impairment losses. The right-of-use asset is adjusted for changes in the lease liability as a consequence of changes in lease terms or changes in the cash flows of the lease upon changes in an index or a borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the esti- mated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Leaseholds: 3-5 years Cars: 5-6 years Other equipment 10 years The Group presents lease assets and lease liabilities separately in the balance sheet. The Group also has certain leases of other equipment with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the short-term lease and lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 112 / 144 The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate for the above categories in relation to the initial recognition in the balance sheet. Moreover, it is de- termined in connection with subsequent changes in the underlying contractual cash flows, upon changes in the estimation of a changed assessment of the use of the extension or termination options or in case of altered agreements. In the determination of the incremental borrowing rate for leaseholds the Group makes its determination based on an interest rate on a mortgage loan with a loan maturity that resembles the maturity of the leases. The rate on the financing of the part where a mortgage loan cannot be optaied, is estimated based on a reference rate with a supplement of a credit mar- gin from the Group’s existing credit facilities. The Group has adjusted the credit margin for the lessor’s right to repossess the asset in case of default on the lease payments (secured debt). The Group has determined its incremental borrowing rate on lease agreements regarding cars with basis on a reference rate with a credit margin from the Company’s existing credit facilities. The applied incremental borrowing rates are 5-6%. Note 4.5 Significant estimates and judgements Impairment of non-financial assets Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its re- coverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to dispose and its value in use. The fair value less costs to dispose calculation is based on available data from binding sales transac- tions, conducted at an arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs to dispose the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for the terminal period. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Group. The key assumptions used to determine the recover- able amount for the different CGUs, including a sen- sitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 4.3. Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate If the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The incremental borrowing rate therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsid- iaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating). In determining its incremental borrowing rate, the Group groups its lease assets in three categories in which the Group assesses that the lease agreements and the underlying assets have the same characteristics and risk profile. The categories are as follows: • Leaseholds • Cars • Other equipment HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 113 / 144 5 Funding and capital structure Section 5 Funding and capital structure This section discloses information regarding the Group’s capital structure and information on how the activities and investments of the Group are funded.

The consideration paid for such shares may not deviate by more than 10% from the official price quoted on Nasdaq Copen- hagen at the date of the acquisition as determined by the Board of Directors. Based on this authorisation, the Board of Directors has authorised the Executive Management to initiate share buy-backs of treasury shares to fully cover the Company’s obligations under its long-term incentive programme. Treasury shares are held for the purposes of cancel- lation and of HusCompagniet's commitments under RSU incentive programmes. In 2024, a share buy-back of 106,851 shares was initiated and completed. The share buy-back amounted to DKK 6 million. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 115 / 144 Note 5.3 Net interest-bearing debt Net interest-bearing debt consists of below components and has had the illustrated developments in 2024 and 2023. The bank loan, classified as a non-current liability, arises from a loan agreement where settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants. The permitted maximum leverage ratio - net interest bearing debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA - must not exceed 3.5x. At 31 December 2024, the leverage ratio was 2.6x (2023: 3.3x).

Floating interest payments on bank borrowings have been determined applying a forward curve on the underlying interest rate at the reporting date. Note 5.7 Financial risk management HusCompagniet's Group’s activities and capital structure are exposed to a variety of financial risks: Market risks (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Group Management oversees the management of these risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies. This section includes description of the risks related to liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Please refer to Note 2.6 for description of currency risk, and Note 3.6 for description of credit risk. Liquidity risk With exception of a relatively minor deposit, the Group does not receive payment until the construc- tion is finalised and the house is handed over to the private customer. Accordingly, the Group needs suffi- cient credit facilities to fund constructions in progress. To execute construction contracts with profession- al customers additionally require sufficient credit facilities as the contract values are significantly higher than contracts with private customers. The Group continues to monitor the need of liquidity. 31 December 2024, the Group has an undrawn credit facility of DKK 250 million to ensure that the Group is able to meet its obligations (2023: DKK 250 million). Management considers the credit availability to be sufficient for the next 12 months. The financial leverage at year end 2024 was 2.6x net debt to EBITDA. The leverage ratio - net interest-bear- ing debt divided with last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA may not exceed 3.5x end of quarters according to the current bank agreement. The cash flows presented on the next page are non-discounted amounts, on the earliest possible date at which the Group can be required to settle the financial liability. Floating interest payments on bank borrowings have been determined applying a forward curve on the underlying interest rate at the reporting date. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 118 / 144 Interest rate risk HusCompagniet is exposed to fluctuations in market interest rates primarily related to the Group's long- term loans with floating rates. The bank agreement expires in 2026 with a two year extention option. The conditions for extension are lim- ited but utilising the option requires approval by the lender. It is assumed that the loan will be extended to 2028. At 31 December 2024, the Group's long-term debt carried floating interest rates based on the 3M CIBOR with a floating interest rate based on the quarterly leverage ratio. If the interest rate had increased (decreased) by 1% the effect on interest during 2024 would have been DKK 5 million (2023: DKK 5 million).

Foreign currency translation reserve The reserve comprises currency translation adjust- ments arising on the translation of financial state- ments of foreign subsidiaries from their functional currencies into the presentation currency used by HusCompagniet. Financial income and expenses Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and expenses, including interest on leases, cost of permanent loan facilities, gains and losses on securities, receivables, payables and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, amortisation of financial assets and liabilities, etc. Financial assets Financial assets are measured at amortised cost. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, carried at amortised cost. This includes directly attrib- utable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities comprise trade paya- bles, borrowings and other payables.

Hereof DKK 41 million relates to tax losses carried forward in the dormant German subsidiary. The tax loss carried forward in the German subsidiary is deductible in the Danish joint taxation but only in the income year where final liquidation of the subsidiary is completed. The future utilisation of the deferred tax asset is subject to uncertainty in respect of fu- ture earnings in the Danish joint taxation and the timing of final liquidation of the subsidiary, however Management have assessed that the asset will be fully utilised within the following 5-year period.

Regarding marketing contribution 2019-2020 Based on a tax audit performed by the Danish Tax Authorities, the Tax Authorities have made an initial ruling whereby the Tax Authorities have reversed de- duction of marketing contributions provided to foreign subsidiaries for the period 2019-2020 resulting in a tax liability of DKK 36 million related to prior years. No marketing contributions have been made to Group subsidiaries since 2020, and thus the ruling will have no future impact. The effect of the proposed change to taxable income in prior years has been reflected in the consolidated income statement with a recognised financial cost of DKK 10 million and a tax on profit of DKK 2 million. A current tax liability of DKK 36 million, a current tax receivable of DKK 10 million and a deferred tax asset of DKK 14 million are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet for 2024. Regarding marketing contribution 2015-2018 In cause of the same tax audit, it has come to our attention, that correction of a marketing contribution for the period 2015-2018 by mistake was submitted and afterwards corrected in a later taxable income year. Reopening the taxable income statement for the affected years has initially been denied by the Danish Tax Authorities. HusCompagniet is engaged in a positive dialogue with the Danish Tax Authorities and on basis of assessment from appointed external legal advisor a positive outcome is assumed and therefore no provision have been made. However, it is uncertain if the Danish Tax Authorities will maintain their pre- liminary ruling and not allow reopening of the taxable income statement for 2020, potentially impacting HusCompagniet of an additional tax expense of DKK 25 million, of which DKK 5 million is interest cost and DKK 20 million is tax.

The current Danish corporation tax is allocated between the jointly-taxed companies in pro- portion to their taxable income. The jointly-taxed com- panies are taxed under the on-account tax scheme. Tax for the year comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax for the year. The tax expense relating to the profit/(loss) for the year is recognised in the income statement, and the tax expense relating to amounts recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. Current tax payable is recognised in current liabilities and deferred tax is recognised in non-current liabil- ities. Tax receivable is recognised in current assets and deferred tax assets are recognised in non-current assets. Deferred tax Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in the balance sheet as tax computed on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax on the taxable income of prior years and for tax paid on account. Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities. Where alternative tax rules can be applied to determine the tax base, deferred tax is measured based on the planned use of the asset or settlement of the liability, respectively. Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are measured at the expected value of their utilisation; either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity. Any deferred net assets are measured at net realisable values. Deferred tax is measured according to the tax rules and at the tax rates applicable at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystal- lise as current tax. Changes in deferred tax due to changes in the tax rate are recognised in the income statement. Uncertain tax positions Provisions and liabilities from uncertain tax positions are recognised in the balance sheet when a ruling exists due to an event that has occurred and it is more probable than not, that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the commitment. Uncertain tax positions are assessed on a case-by- case basis and provision for these are recognised at either calculated weighted average or by the outcome assessed as most likely. Note 6.9 Significant estimates and judgements Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, to the extent that it is considered likely that they will be utilised against future taxable profits. Determining the amount recognised for deferred tax assets is based on estimates of the likely timing and the amount of future taxable profits. The recognised deferred tax asset mainly relate to the value of an unused tax loss carried forward originated in Die HausCompagnie GmbH but utilised by Hus- Compagniet Holding A/S when Die HausCompagnie GmbH is finally liquidated. Uncertain tax positions Recognision and measurment of the uncertain tax position are based on judgement and estimates made by Management. Assessment of the likely outcome of the ongoing case regarding taxable income for the years 2019-2021 is difficult and associated with signif- icant uncertainty. See note 6.1 for a description of the nature of the uncertain tax position.

The separate financial statements have been- prepared on a historical cost basis, except as noted in the various accounting policies. These separate financial statements are expressed in DKK, as this is HusCompagniet’s functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest DKK‘000. The accounting policies of the Parent Company are unchanged from last year and identical to the accounting policies in the consolidated financial state- ments, with the following exceptions. Change in accounting policy In 2024, the Parent Company changed the accounting policy regarding investments in subsidiaries, from using the equity method to the cost method. The change of accounting policies in the parent company HusCompagniet A/S will provide reliable and more relevant information for investors about the dividend capacity of HusCompagniet A/S. The effect of the change has been reflected in the comparison year 2023. Following the change in accounting policy, the income statement line 'share of result from subsidi- aries after tax' has been reduced by DKK 64 million for 2024 and DKK 80 million for the comparison year 2023. Investments in subsidiaries and equity at 1 Jan- uary 2023 have been reduced by DKK 1,130 million. Had the accounting policy not been changed, profit for the year 2024 would have been DKK -5 million and total assets and equity at 31 December 2024 would have been DKK 3,607 million and DKK 2,082 million, respectively. Investments in subsidiaries The Company’s investments in subsidiaries are ac- counted for using the cost method. Under the cost method, the investments in subsidi- aries are recognised and measured at cost. Goodwill relating to the subsidiary is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impair- ment individually, but on Group level. Dividend is recognised as income when the right to receive payment is established. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company. After application of the cost method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its subsidiaries. At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is an impairment indicator. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recovera- ble amount of the subsidiary and its carrying amount, and then recognises the loss in the income statement. Significant judgement and estimates Reference is made to the consolidated financial state- ments on page 90.

Virum, 7 March 2025 HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 138 / 144 Anja B. Eriksson Vice chairperson Independent auditor's report Independent auditor's report To the shareholders of HusCompagniet A/S Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of HusCom- pagniet A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2024, which comprise income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policy information, for the Group and the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 31 December 2024 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial state- ments" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements") section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Inter- national Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibil- ities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014. Appointment of auditor Subsequent to HusCompagniet A/S being listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen, we were initially appointed as auditor of Hus- Compagniet A/S on 12 April 2021. We have been reappoint- ed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive period of four years up until the financial year 2024. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year 2024. These mat- ters were addressed during our audit of the financial state- ments as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Audi- tor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Accordingly, our audit included the design and performance of procedures to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 139 / 144 Key audit matter Description of key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Recognition and measurement of construction contracts and related revenue recognition Accounting policies and information regarding revenue recognition related to construction contracts are disclosed in notes 2.1, 2.7, 2.8 and 3.2 to the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s main activity and revenue comes from sale and delivery of detached and semi-detached houses under construction contracts with private customers or professional investors, where the delivery of the houses typically extends over a longer period. Due to characteristics of the projects, and in accordance with the accounting policies, HusCompagniet recognizes and measures revenue on these construction contracts over time, based on input-based accounting methods as the performance obligation usually is considered fulfilled throughout the construction. Recognition and measurement of construction contracts involve estimates and judgments by Management to assess percentage-of-completion at the balance sheet date, cost of completion of the houses, including costs related to warranties or disputes. Changes to these accounting estimates during the construction phase, can have a material impact on revenue, production costs and results. Therefore, we consider recognition of construction contracts as a key audit matter in respect of the financial statements. Our audit procedures included: • Assessment of the assumptions and methodology applied by Management to calculate the sales value of construction contracts and recognition and accrual of revenue. We have considered the approach taken by Management, assessed key assumptions and obtained evidence for the explanations provided by comparing key assumptions to past performance, contract estimates, our past experience of similar transactions and Management’s forecasts supporting the calculated sales value. • Analysis of selected contracts to assess and compare recognised revenue, including any contract modifications, and production cost to contract estimate, current project economy and the latest forecast of cost to complete, including any costs related to warranties or disputes. • Discussions of the status of houses in progress with members of Management, the finance function and project management. • For the purpose of assessing dispute and/or litigation, we obtained letters of attorney from the Group’s external and internal attorneys and discussed with members of Management and the finance function cases subject to disputes to provide an assessment hereof. • Focused on ensuring that policies and processes for performing management estimates have been applied consistently to uniform contracts and in accordance with previous years. Valuation of goodwill Accounting policies and information regarding goodwill and impairment testing of goodwill are disclosed in notes 4.1, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 to the consolidated financial statements. Valuation of goodwill is significant to our audit due to the carrying value of goodwill and the risks related to Management’s assessment of the future timing and amount of cash flows that are discounted to project the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill. Management’s assessment is subject to uncertainty related to their expectations of the negative impact on future building activity from macroeconomic conditions, interest rates and inflation. Management applies significant assumptions when estimating the future sales volumes, sales prices, margins, discount rates and growth rates when projecting the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill as well as judgement when defining cash-generating units. Therefore, we consider valuation of goodwill as a key audit matter in respect of the financial statements. Our audit procedures in relation to valuation of goodwill included: • Assessment of the discounted cash flow models prepared by Management, including consideration of the cash-generating units defined by Management and the valuation methodology applied. We evaluated the factors used by Management in their definition of cash-generating units. • Testing of the mathematical accuracy of the discounted cash flow models prepared by Management to project the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill. We reconciled the applied estimates of future cash flows to the most recent approved Management budgets to ensure internal consistency. • Evaluating the key assumptions and input data applied by Management based on our knowledge of the business and industry together with available supporting evidence such as available budgets and externally observable market data related to market volumes, inflation rates and interest rates etc. • Evaluating the sensitivity analysis on the assumptions applied in the valuations prepared by management in note 4.3 to the consolidated financial statement. HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 140 / 144 Statement on the Management's review Management is responsible for the Management's review. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required by relevant law and regulations. Based on our procedures, we conclude that the Manage- ment's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of relevant law and regulations. We did not identify any ma- terial misstatement of the Management's review. Management's responsibilities for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation of consol- idated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and addi- tional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, Management is re- sponsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Com- pany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasona- ble assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guar- antee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepti- cism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, mis- representations or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are ap- propriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material un- certainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 141 / 144 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note disclo- sures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view. • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial infor- mation of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervi- sion and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance re- garding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may rea- sonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial state- ments and the parent company financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material re- spects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion.

The procedures include: • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format; • Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process; • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes; • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified; HusCompagniet Annual report 2024 142 / 144 • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Con- solidated Financial Statements.
