Continued focus on increasing efficiency and growth

"In a market that remains hesitant, we consistently strive to increase efficiency and digitalize operations to ensure we are well-positioned once the market begins to recover. Capital inflows and outflows in the core property funds remain limited, the latter we consider a sign of strength in the challenging market conditions. The Asset Management business delivered AUM growth from managing and developing property portfolios, and repositioning assets to meet current market demands. This is evidence that our business model creates growth opportunities even in a weaker and more cautious transaction market, while we are also introducing new strategies to meet the investor demand of tomorrow."

Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President

CEO COMMENTS

"Continued focus on increased efficiency and growth"

The property transaction market remained hesitant in the second quarter. While inflation expectations continued to fall, central banks are generally cautious about interest rate cuts. In addition, elections were held in two of Europe's largest economies and the Olympic Games were staged in Paris, which further slowed activity in our largest markets.

The value of European property assets has continuously fallen over the past seven quarters. However, the decrease in the last quarter was the lowest since the price correction began in the third quarter of 2022. With a touch of optimism, this can be interpreted as indicating that the market is slowly returning to levels where seller and buyer expectations will soon meet.

For Catella, we note that capital inflows and outflows in the core property funds business remain limited. We consider the latter a sign of strength in the currently challenging market conditions. The Asset Management business delivered AUM growth from managing and developing property portfolios, and repositioning assets to meet current market demands. This is evidence that our business model continues to generate growth opportunities even on a weaker and more hesitant transaction market.

Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 35 M, down SEK 53 M, mainly driven by significantly lower variable income in Investment Management (SEK -99 M) in year-on-year terms. In the quarter, we divested half our stake in asset management company Cat-Wave to Söderberg och Partners, which already held 51 percent in the company. The divestment had a positive effect on profit of SEK 18 M, and in 2025 the remaining share of the operations are expected to be divested in 2025.

On the cost side, our initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency and digitalizing operations continue to yield positive results compared to the previous year, with costs down by SEK 55 M.

As part of our sustainability work, we published our first Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) report in the quarter. We consider it important to follow the EU regulatory framework for sustainable finance and to maintain a responsible investment strategy. In the quarter we also completed the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment reporting (UNPRI) for the second year running. By being part of UNPRI we demonstrate that we maintain a responsible attitude and transparency towards investors and other stakeholders. As a further step on our sustainability journey, we are preparing for a green framework to enable issueance of green bonds in the future.

Larger and more efficient fund platform

In order to take another step towards a stronger, more efficient, and larger fund platform in Investment Management, we communicated the merger of our two fund companies – Catella Residential Investment Management (CRIM) and Catella Real Estate AG (CREAG) in the quarter. CRIM's focus is a fund offering aimed at European residential properties, while CREAG's focus is commercial properties. By merging the front office in the new Catella Investment Management GmbH we are creating a more efficient function for capital raising, more coordinated investor relations, and stronger management and research operations. At the same time, CREAG can focus exclusively on cost-efficient growth, and on offering fund administration to Catella and external operators. As previously mentioned, we have now actively started to raise capital for our new product strategy "European Living Development". The strategy satisfies the extensive structural supply shortage of modern, sustainable and affordable housing in different segments. Supported by AI tools that identify attractive areas for investment projects and a higher return profile, it meets the investor demand of tomorrow. While the initial feedback from investors has been positive, both in terms of the strategy and pipeline, one must be humble by the fact that capital raising for new strategies takes longer in today's market.

Assets under management in Investment Management totalled SEK 153 Bn in the quarter, which represents an increase of SEK 1 Bn on the previous quarter. As mentioned, growth is mainly derived from Asset Management and primarily Finland, where we signed several major mandates in the quarter.

Continued focus on completion

In Principal Investments, the focus remains on development and completion of existing projects for sale.

Our Kaktus investment project now has all lease agreements in place and we continue to look for the right buyer for the property.

Looking ahead, we are reviewing several potential investments, both in development projects where land prices have reached levels that support our return requirements, and more European aggregation mandates with capital partners. With valuations that are now appearing to stabilize at a new level, we are seeing attractive investment opportunities.

Weak transaction market continued in second quarter

Although transaction volumes in Europe increased slightly on the previous quarter (+7 percent), volumes remained down by -59 percent compared to 2022, when the downturn started. We noted some increase in Corporate Finance activity in northern Europe, where a large degree of price corrections have already materialized. In southern Europe, and particularly in France, transaction volumes have been extremely low, driven by slower revaluation, political uncertainty and a challenging financing market. In the second half of the year, we expect to see more deals completed in our pipeline.

Outlook

It is still too early to say that we have hit the bottom, but based on the dialogues we are having with investors, interest in investing in properties as an asset class is gradually increasing once again. We have completed and are completing the necessary initiatives to increase efficiency and digitalize our operations. Some will take effect as early as this year, while others will contribute towards strengthening Catella's growth and profitability when the market begins to recover.

Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 21 August 2024

Group net sales and profit/loss Second quarter 2024

The Group's total income decreased by 344 SEK M, totalling SEK 447 M (792). Of this change, SEK 283 M comprises income from the divestment of Infrahubs Vaggeryd in 2023. The Investment Management business area's income decreased by SEK 112 M to SEK 258 M (370), mainly due to absent performance based fees and lower transaction-based fees. Corporate Finance's income decreased by SEK 13 M to SEK 79 M (92), mainly as a result of lower transaction volumes in the French operations which were partly offset by higher income in the Danish, Spanish and Swedish operations. Group income also included SEK 18 M from the partial sale of the holding in associated company Cat-Wave AB, while the project Metz-Eurolog generated SEK 56 M in income for contractual milestones reached. Group income excluding commission, assignment and production costs decreased by SEK 108 M to SEK 334 M (442) in the period. As a result of the hesitant market and associated lower income, Catella is continuing to review and adapt its costs which, excluding depreciation and amortization and negative fair value adjustments on fund holdings, decreased by SEK 48 M to

SEK 280 M (328). The Group's operating profit was SEK 35 M (88).

Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 5-9.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -61 M (19) and included exchange rate differences of SEK -24 M (48), a deviation of SEK -72 M compared to the previous year. The SEK appreciated in the second quarter, which had a negative effect on revaluation of loan receivables mainly denominated in EUR and DKK. Net financial/income expense also included interest expenses totalling SEK 54 M (33). Increased interest expenses were due to factors such as interest expenses attributable to completed phases of ongoing projects being recognised in the income statement to a higher degree than in the equivalent period in the previous year, rather than being capitalized in the Group's financial position.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK -26 M (107) and net profit for the period was SEK -33 M (84) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.37 (0.95) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK -1 M (6). The lower profit compared to

the previous year was attributable to the divestment of Infrahubs in 2023.

Significant events in the quarter

As of 2 April, Catella repurchased a total of 2,450,000 warrants out of a total of 2,800,000 outstanding warrants relating to an older incentive scheme from 2020, from holders still employed by Catella. Total payment amounted to SEK 2,450,100. Furthermore, a new longterm incentive program was introduced in the period, where 4,700,000 warrants, split over five different series, were issued. Of these, 1,526,670 warrants of series 2024/2027 and 2024/2028 were transferred to Group management and other key executives in the Group for a total purchase price of SEK 4,963,441.

The Annual General Meeting in Catella AB was held on 22 May 2024. The AGM resolved in accordance with all proposals presented by the Board of Directors and the Nomination Committee. The AGM decided to re-elect Board members Tobias Alsborger, Johan Damne, Anneli Jansson, Samir Kamal and Sofia Watt, and to elect Pernilla Claesson as a Board member. Sofia Watt was elected new Chair of the Board.

Group net sales and profit/loss First half-year 2024

Group total income decreased by SEK 388 M to SEK 871 M (1,259), of which SEK 301 M was attributable to Principal Investments' divestment of the Infrahubs platform in 2023. In the first half of 2024, Project Barcelona Logistics was completed and delivered to the customer, generating SEK 54 M in income, while the project Metz-Eurolog generated SEK 76 M in income for contractual milestones reached. Investment Management and Corporate Finance were affected by falling transaction volumes and low capital inflows to property funds which resulted in lower income. This has implied a sharp focus on Group expenses which, excluding depreciation and amortization and negative fair value changes on fund holdings, decreased by SEK 79 M to SEK 547 M (626).

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -38 M (16) and included interest expenses of SEK 106 M (73) and positive exchange rate differences of SEK 32 M (61). Increased interest expenses were largely due to factors such as increased

revenue recognition of interest expenses attributable to completed phases of ongoing projects year-on-year, rather than being capitalized in the Group's financial position. Increased interest expenses were also due to Catella AB's bond loan which runs at variable interest.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 1 M (106) and net profit for the period was SEK -7 M (76) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.08 (0.84) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Investment Management

Net sales and profit/loss Second quarter 2024

Total income was SEK 258 M (370), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 215 M (327).

Property Funds' income decreased by SEK 111 M year-on-year. Fixed net income increased by SEK 3 M which indicates stability in terms of fixed income.

Variable net income in Property Funds decreased by SEK 111 M. The decrease

primarily related to lower performancebased fees compared to the previous year, but also to lower acquisition-based fees driven by a continued subdued transaction market. In Asset Management, income was in line with the comparative period in the previous year, where lower fixed income was offset by higher variable income. Operating expenses for the segment decreased by SEK 34 M, primarily driven by lower variable personnel expenses and

consultancy costs. Operating profit was SEK 36 M in the quarter, primarily comprised of Property Funds.

First half-year 2024

Total income was SEK 503 M (620), and operating profit/loss was SEK 68 M (142). The reduced profit was mainly driven by lower performance-based and transactionbasedfees in Property Funds.

Investment Management

Assets under management by service area and country

Total assets under management (AUM) was SEK 153 Bn, of which SEK 111 Bn re lated to Property Funds and SEK 42 Bn to Asset Management. Germany is Property Funds' largest market with the highest proportion of invested capital, primarily

through Catella Residential Investment Management and Catella Real Estate.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY SERVICE AREA ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY COUNTRY

Change in assets under management

Assets under management increased from SEK 149.3 Bn to SEK 152.6 Bn in the last 12-month period, which represents an increase of SEK 3.3 Bn. Inflows of SEK 27.3 Bn mainly comprised SEK 15.5 Bn to Asset Management from the acquisition of Aquila Group of France, the Finnish operation's new mandates, and Property Funds, where the residential funds Catella Modernes Europa, SpardaWest and Catella

Logistik Deutschland Plus provided the largest inflows. Outflows of SEK 12.5 Bn mainly comprised outflows from Catella UK linked to the completion of the Hollborn Island mandate, as well as divestments of assets in various portfolios. In addition, negative exchange rate effects of SEK 5.4 Bn, mainly related to EUR/SEK exchange rate differences, contributed to a reduction in AUM. Assets under management increased by SEK 1.3 Bn in the second quarter, compared to first quarter of the year, to SEK 151.3 Bn. Inflows for the quarter of SEK 6.7 Bn were primarily driven by the Finnish Asset Management operations which won new mandates, but also by Property Funds. Outflows of SEK 2.3 Bn were primarily driven by Catella UK which saw a number of divestments and terminations of mandates. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, decreased AUM by SEK -2.0 Bn in the quarter.

Income for the period also comprised rental income from the residential project Kaktus. Both development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit for the segment amounted to SEK 13 M (9), mainly driven by improved profit in Catella Logistic Europe. As of 30 June, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK

1,484 M in residential projects, logistics projects, office projects and retail projects in Europe.

First half-year 2024

Income was SEK 208 M (462), and operating profit was SEK 14 M (22). Operating profit was mainly driven by residential projects Kaktus and Catella Logistic Europe.

Corporate Finance

Net sales and profit/loss Second quarter 2024

The transaction market remained hesitant in the second quarter.

Property transactions where Catella acted as advisor totalled SEK 4.6 Bn (5.2) in the quarter. Of total transaction volumes in the quarter, Sweden provided SEK 2.5 Bn (0.4), Finland 1.0 Bn (2.3), France

0.7 Bn (2.4) and Spain 0.4 Bn (0.1).

Corporate Finance's income was SEK 79 M (92) and income adjusted for assignment costs was SEK 72 M (70), an increase of SEK 2 M.

Given the lower operating expenses year-on-year, operating profit/loss amounted to SEK -19 M (-22) driven by the reduced income.

Total income was SEK 149 M (172), and operating profit/loss was SEK -42 M (-41). The transaction market in Europe has been in a declining trend since 2022, and continued uncertainty affected all operations in the Corporate Finance business area, leading to a reduction in income and associated profit.

Other financial information

The Group's financial position Second quarter 2024

The following information relates to the Group formal accounts.

In the second quarter, the Group's total assets decreased by SEK 156 M, amounting to SEK 5,713 M as of 30 June 2024. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by SEK 201 M, for reasons including continued investments in the projects Metz-Eurolog and Polaxis and dividends to shareholders. Group equity decreased by SEK 126 M to SEK 1 989 M as of 30 June 2024. In addition to profit/loss for the period of SEK - 34 M and translation differences of SEK - 15 M, equity was mainly affected by dividends paid to Parent Company shareholders totalling SEK 80 M. As of the Balance Sheet date, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 35 percent (36 percent as of 31 March 2024).

Group financing

Catella AB issued a new unsecured bond of SEK 1,250 M with a term of 4 years and maturity in March 2025. In the first quarter of 2024, the bond was reclassified from non-current to current liabilities in the Group's Statement of Financial Position. The bond loan accrues floating-rate interest at 3-month Stibor plus 475 b.p. The effective interest rate, excluding loan arrangement fees, was 8.8 percent (8.2) in the second quarter 2024. Financing is conditional on a minimum Group equity requirement of SEK 800 M from time to time. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on dividend.

In addition, the Group's property development company received loans from credit institutions relating to ongoing property projects. As of 30 June 2024, these loans amounted to SEK 1,539 M (1,206). A majority of these relate to the financing of Kaktus, where loans accrued variable interest averaging 5.8 percent (5.0) in the first half-year 2024.

Group cash flow Second quarter 2024

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -4 M (73), where the year-on-year decrease was mainly attributable to lower operating profit and higher

interest expenses. Cash flow from property projects amounted to SEK -172 M (232), with additional investments in Metz-Eurolog and Polaxis totalling SEK 59 M and SEK 61 M respectively. The comparative period of the previous year included payments of SEK 306 M from the divestment of Infrahubs Vaggeryd. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 62 M (-148), of which SEK 48 M related to repayments of retained tax at source on dividends from subsidiaries.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -81 M (-531), of which SEK -80 M related to dividends to Parent Company shareholders. The comparative period of the previous year included Kaktus' repayments of loans from credit issuers of SEK -369 M.

Cash flow in the period was SEK -191 M (-381) and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 951 M (1,365), of which cash and cash equivalents relating to the Group's Swedish holding company amounted to SEK 394 M (380).

First half-year 2024

Group cash flow for the first half-year 2024 was SEK 140 M, compared to SEK -480 M in the previous year, a departure of SEK 619 M. The biggest year-onyear change was derived from cash flow from financing operations A significant explanation for this relates to increased external financing of the Kaktus project. In the first half of 2024, Kaktus raised new borrowing from credit institutions amounting to SEK 265 M, and in the corresponding period 2023, Kaktus amortized loans totalling SEK 369 M.

Parent Company Second quarter 2024

Parent Company income was SEK 13.3 M (10.4), and operating profit was SEK -12.4 M (-10.6). The decline in profit was due to increased variable salaries and non-recurring costs in connection with redundancies.

Net financial income/expense for the period totalled SEK -22.3 M (-15.0) where the deterioration was due partly to higher interest expenses for the bond loan accruing variable interest and partly to lower dividend received from subsidiaries.

The number of employees at the end of the period was 20 (23).

First half-year 2024

Parent Company operating profit/loss improved by SEK 7.2 M and amounted to SEK -24.1 M (-31.3) in the first half of the year. The improvement was primarily due to increased invoicing of management fees to subsidiaries and lower consultancy costs and fixed personnel expenses. Profit/loss for the first half-year 2023 included nonrecurring costs for redundancies.

Employees

At the end of the period, there were 495 (521) employees, expressed as full-time equivalents.

Risks and uncertainties

Macroeconomic conditions relating to inflation and interest rates affect transaction levels and assets under management, impacting results of operations in Investment Management and Corporate Finance. Lower transaction volumes can also affect Principal Investments' ability to divest projects at acceptable prices. These uncertainty factors may affect future returns.

Catella AB is indirectly exposed to the same risks as the Group through its holding of shares in subsidiaries and associated companies.

For more information, see the section Risks and uncertainties in the Directors' Report of the Annual Report for 2023.

Seasonal variations

Seasonal variations are significant in the Corporate Finance business area. Transaction volumes and income have historically been highest in the fourth quarter.

Accounting principles

This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU, the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Complementary Accounting Rules for Groups issued by The Swedish Corporate Reporting Board. Information according to IAS 34.16A also

appears, in addition to in the financial reports and associated notes, in other parts of the Interim Report.

From 2024 onwards, the assessment is that income from divested and profit-recognized property projects in Principal Investments is included in Catella's core operations, given the business segment's progress where this income is recognized as net sales. In earlier periods, the corresponding revenue was recognized as Other operating income. Comparative figures from earlier periods have not been adjusted in a corresponding manner.

The Parent Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, from the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board.

The Group's and Parent Company's key accounting principles are presented in Catella's Annual Report for 2023. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.

* Profit/loss attributable to non-controlling interests for each business area has not been included, in order to clarify the operating profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company by business area. This is consistent with the internal reports provided to management and the Board of Directors. This information has, instead, been included in the column for Group eliminations so that the Group operating profit is consistent with the Group's formal Income Statement prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting principles.

The business areas covered in this report, Investment Management, Principal Investment and Corporate Finance, are consistent with internal reporting submitted to management and the Board of Directors and thus represent the Group's operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Parent Company and other holding companies are presented under the category "Other". Acquisition and financing costs and Catella's trademark are also recognized in this category. Group eliminations also include the elimination of intra-group transactions between the various business areas. Transactions between the business areas are limited and relate mainly to financial transactions and certain onward invoicing of expenses. Such transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis.

Note 3 Summary of Catella's loan portfolios

The loan portfolios comprise securitised European loans with primary

exposure in housing. The performance of the loan portfolios is closely monitored and

re-measurements are continuously performed. The loan portfolios are recognized under the category Other.

* The discount rate recognised in the line "Total cash flow" is the weighted average interest of the total discounted cash flow.

** Catella's loan portfolio also includes the portfolios Pastor 3, 4 and 5 as well as Lusitano 4 whose book value have been attributed a value of SEK 0.

Pastor 2

In the sub-portfolio Pastor 2, the underlying loans are below ten percent of the issued amount and Catella expects the issuer to utilise its clean-up call. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below ten percent of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. Catella considers the credit risk in the portfolio to be low, although the precise timing of the exercise of the option is difficult to forecast due to various unknown factors relating to the issuer. Catella has made the assumption that a repurchase will take place in the fourth quarter of 2025. The portfolio is valued at the full repayable amount of EUR 5.0 M, discounted to present value with application of a discount rate for similar assets. This corresponds to a value of EUR 4.7 M.

Lusitano 5

The time call affects sub-portfolio Lusitano 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the sub-portfolio to be repurchased at a specific point in time, and subsequently from time to time. The option has been available since 2015. Catella evaluates that the time call will be exercised in the third quarter of 2024. This assumption is conservative as it means that no further cash flows than the position's current capital amount of EUR 1.6 M plus the following quarter's cash flow will be received when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued at EUR 2.0 M.

Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2023.

Note 5 The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Financial instruments valued at fair value are classified in one of three levels. Quoted prices on an active market on the reporting date are applied for level 1. Observable market data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices are used for level 2. Fair value is determined with the aid of valuation techniques. For level 3, fair

value is determined on the basis of valuation techniques based on non-observable market data. Specific valuation techniques used for level 3 are the measurement of discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of financial instruments. Financial assets in level 3 include loan portfolios, loan receivables and unlisted share and

fund holdings. Financial liabilities in level 3 refer to contingent consideration for shares in the subsidiary Aquila. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2023.

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 30 June 2024 are stated in the following table.
