Favourable starting point to meet future needs

High activity in the lettings market continued in the first quarter of 2024. We set a new lettings record with newly signed contracts totalling SEK 177 million, which was up SEK 31 million on the previous record quarter. Net lettings amounted to SEK 29 million, which now means 36 quarters in a row with positive net lettings. In January, we signed our largest lease ever with Novo Nordisk, with the company renting 62,000 square metres at Girostrøget in Høje-Taastrup. While we are pleased about such a large transaction, we must remember that our success is defined by a large amount of smaller transactions over time. It is also worth noting that net lettings would have been positive even without the transaction with Novo Nordisk.

Another record set in the quarter was rental income for the first time exceeding SEK 1 billion for a single quarter. Rental income amounted to SEK 1,040 million, up 7 percent year-on-year. The rent component of this income increased 10 percent while service income, which primarily consists of costs passed on to tenants, declined 12 percent. This was partly the result of a decline in income from our Danish canteens as well as lower additional energy charges. Since our objective is to reduce total energy consumption at our properties, a decline in income is a natural consequence of this.

Operating surplus increased 8 percent to SEK 718 million, corresponding to a surplus ratio of 69 percent, which was negatively impacted by unusually high costs for snow clearance. The Group's average interest rate remains stable compared with the previous quarter but significantly higher year-on-year, resulting in an increase in net interest amounting to SEK 272 million. As such, income from property management declined 7 percent to SEK 424 million.

Increased market stability

4 Wihlborgs interim report January-March 2024

Property changes in value amounted to a decrease of SEK 59 million for the quarter. Following seven consecutive quarters with rising yield requirements, assumptions in the valuation models were stable during the quarter. The property transaction market remains cautious with few completed transactions, but in line with changing expectations for interest rates, we can assume that more transactions will begin to be finalised. Even if we are evaluating acquisition opportunities, our priority is on developing our own projects. In doing so, we assume control over the quality of our product and strengthen our focus on flexible and efficient properties. Among the newly started projects, I would like to highlight Bilrutan 5 in Landskrona, where we are constructing a logistics facility comprising almost 10,000 square metres for Dachser, which has signed a 15-year lease.

In terms of financing, we have noted a considerable improvement in the market for corporate bonds over the past few months. As a result, after having not issued bonds for about two years, we have now returned to issuing bonds to an extent matching bond maturities in the first quarter. I assess that the availability of capital through banks remains healthy, but as an alternative to it is also beneficial to have access to the bond market.

Employee efforts yielding results

During the quarter, our focus remained on enhancing the efficiency of our portfolio. Our own reversible heat pump innovation named the "Janne solution" after one of our colleagues, has led to energy savings in several properties by about 30 percent. In Bricks at Ideon in Lund, the solution has been a contributing factor to being able to raise the property's energy standard from Class E to Class A in just one year.

Even our intensified work to increase the proportion of approved suppliers in accordance with our sustainability requirements has yielded favourable results. Through dialogue and collaboration with suppliers, this figure has increased from 72 to 85 percent compared with the preceding quarter. In Swedish operations, 99 percent of suppliers meet these requirements.

"Even in a period dominated by several challenges, we have managed to position ourselves in a positive direction. "

Continued demand for high quality

Consultancy reports are available that point to increased vacancies in Sweden's largest cities, and Malmö is no exception. When examining these in detail, Wihlborgs' vacancies in Malmö are declining while the vacancies of other companies are rising. In general, it is lower quality properties that are suffering the most, while demand remains for high-quality premises in good locations. This matches well with the many dialogues we have with our tenants about how they, as employers, are able to offer their employees premises that are conducive for enjoyment, efficiency and innovation in the workplace.

Even in a period dominated by several challenges, we have managed to position ourselves in a positive direction. As a result, when external factors such as the economy and interest-rate situations improve, we will find ourselves well-placed with favourable conditions to accelerate our growth. And this is something we will achieve. There are clear challenges to take on, but in light of the many constructive discussions we have had with tenants and the exciting projects that we are developing, we see healthy opportunities for Wihlborgs to continue to grow and further strengthen our position in the Öresund region.

Market comments

The first quarter of the year was characterised by many central banks resolving to leave interest rates unchanged, indicating that the interest-rate peak has now passed. Inflation has continued to fall in Sweden, and for March 2024, CPI and CPIF were down to 4.1 and 2.2 percent respectively. In Denmark, the general price increase rate was down to 0.9 percent in March and core inflation was 1.7 percent. The Riksbank (the Swedish Central Bank) is expected to make the first interest-rate cuts by the summer and in line with improvements in the bond market, there are specks of light indicating an improved transaction market.

The Economic Tendency Survey for March 2024 showed increase optimism with households and the service sector trending the strongest, while the construction and civil engineering sector continued to decline. The increasingly positive sentiment in the service sector is also reflected in the Silf/Swedbank Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) with the highest index level in two years. This is also true for the industrial sector, where the PMI rose to 50.0, indicating a balance between growth and decline. Even if conditions have improved for eight consecutive quarters, a weak economy continues to weigh down Germany.

Lettings market

In SEPREF's (the Swedish Property Research Forum) consensus forecast for the first quarter of 2024, the prime rent in Malmö increased SEK 100/m² from the previous quarter, to SEK 3,275/m². The yield requirement for prime locations has increased to 5.0 percent in the first quarter from 4.75 percent in the preceding quarter. The majority now believe that over the next year the yield requirement will be unchanged as opposed to rising.

Citymark reported historically high vacancies in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö in its latest market survey. In central Malmö, the vacancy rate increased to 10.2 percent. An increased vacancy rate was reported in all sub-markets apart from Hyllie, where the vacancy rate declined somewhat.

In the Greater Copenhagen area, Colliers reported unchanged rent for offices of DKK 1,250/m². The yield requirement increased from 5.25 percent to 5.5 percent in the fourth quarter. Vacancies declined from 5.1 percent to 5.0 percent. According to Colliers, several investors now believe that price adjustments are over. The segments most in demand remain housing as well as warehouse and logistics facilities. Interest remains relatively strong for offices in centrally located properties and weaker for properties in more non-prime locations.

The property market

According to Colliers, turnover in the Swedish real estate market amounted to SEK 22 billion in the first quarter of 2024, up 24 percent year-on-year. In Helsingborg, Catena acquired DVS's newly produced facility in Ättekulla comprising 29,300 square metres for SEK 398 million in a sale-and-leaseback transaction (10-year lease). The operating surplus was between SEK 23–24 million, indicating an investment yield of 5.75–6.0 percent.

In Denmark, the volume for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to DKK 3.8 billion, which was a decrease of 4 percent compared with 2023. During the quarter, Corem divested a fully let educational property of 19,300 square metres to Capman for SEK 890 million. An office property comprising 7,300 square metres that is fully let to Novo Nordisk in Gladsaxe was acquired by Niam for DKK 130 million, which is about DKK 18,000/m².

The index calculations in the Swedish stock are made as of 1 January, while those in the Danish stock take place at various times during the year. Of the reduction in additional debits, SEK 6 million is due to the effect of the annual settlement for additional debits made after the turn of the year.

A compilation of the change in rental income compared to the previous year appears in the table below.

Changes in values of properties

Project/Land Logistics/Production Rental value per property category Malmö Copenhagen Rental value per area Malmö Project/Land Logistics/Production Rental value per property category Malmö Copenhagen Rental value per area In the valuation as of 31 March 2024, all properties have been valued internally. The valuation has meant a change in the property value by SEK -59 million (-28) which corresponds to 0.1 percent of the property value. Since the turn of the year, the assumptions about future indexation, market rent development, long-term vacancy, operating cost development and yield requirements have been largely unchanged. Positive net letting and completion of projects have had a positive impact on valuations, while maintenance investments and certain termination risks have had a negative impact.

2% 15 % 35% 24 % 35% 2% 15 % 35% 24 % When valuing at fair value, a combination of yield-based method and local price method is applied, where analyzes of completed transactions in affected sub-markets are used to calibrate the parameters in the yield-based method. The value is deemed to correspond to the yield value calculated from, normally five-year, cash flow analyses. Ongoing new construction is valued as if the project had been completed reduced by the budgeted remaining project cost.

In just one year, Bricks at Ideon in Lund has improved its energy standard from Class E to Class A and the building's restaurant Bricks Eatery has halved its energy consumption. The most effective measure taken for the change in energy consumption in the property was the installation of Wihlborgs' own "Janne solution", a unique reversible heat pump that reuses heating and cooling in the property together with the existing district heating and cooling system. The innovation was invented by Jan Larsson, project manager for cooling and heating solutions at Wihlborgs.

Sustainable business

Focus in the quarter

The components of the ESG area – Environmental, Social and Governance – are to be integrated throughout Wihlborgs' business. Here we provide current examples of how we approach changes in our own operations and make a positive impact on the value chain and the sector.

Climate requirements in procurement

Wihlborgs has a goal of halving CO2 emissions across its entire operations by 2030 and of achieving net zero emissions by 2045. Most emissions arise in connection with Wihlborgs' projects, primarily in building material manufacture, which is the area on which our operations mainly focus. Setting the right requirements as early as the procurement stage is critical if we are to reduce emissions generated by project activities.

Wihlborgs sets clear emission threshold requirements for new construction. Moreover, all projects over SEK 1 million include a climate calculation model with the aim of successfully reducing emissions from Wihlborgs' project activities. Project CO2 emissions are calculated and, already at the tender stage, contractors are required to identify improvement measures to reduce climate impact.

Early stage climate calculations provide Wihlborgs' project managers with decision data that enables them to design and build with as little climate impact as possible. As a consequence, making informed decisions based on these calculations means that those involved in the projects must have a good understanding of what the calculations show. For this reason, all project managers completed introductory climate calculation training during the quarter.

Regional directors, property directors, property managers and operators have also received similar basic climate calculation training.

The climate calculations also comprise important data for tenant dialogues concerning, for example, the climate impact of tenant improvements.

Study on battery storage

There is a rising demand for electricity in society as a result of the ongoing transition to electrification of, inter alia, transportation sector. This increased demand entails a major challenge for the electricity grid's frequency stability and transmission capacity. Storing energy in batteries will allow them to help balance the grid and concurrently stabilise frequency.

Wihlborgs recently signed a letter of intent with the municipal energy company Öresundskraft with the objective of installing a battery storage system at Wihlborgs' Ametisten 5 property in Helsingborg. The high capacity of the local electricity grid together with the property's large solar power system, which can charge the battery, make the property suitable for this purpose.

The battery's energy can be used at the property even when the sun is not strong enough to generate energy. The battery can also play an auxiliary role in the event of a power shortage in the grid, relieving it when the need arises.

Wihlborgs will report in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for the 2025 financial year. Work is ongoing with preparing the business to meet the reporting requirement. A double materiality assessment was started in the quarter, with the aim of identifying which sustainability aspects are material for the business.

The most recent employee survey, which was conducted in collaboration with Great Place to Work, shows that 98 percent of employees in Sweden think that Wihlborgs is a first-rate workplace overall. On 18 April, when Great Place to Work published the list of "Sweden's best workplaces 2024", Wihlborgs was ranked 15 among medium-sized organisations. In the Danish equivalent, Wihlborgs A/S was also ranked 15. Hannes Ivarsson, Ivan Bicanic, Britta Nordin, Susanna Lirbank, Svetislav Joksimovic, Tove Gleisner, Nicklas Möller, Jimmy Johansson och Agnes Lindholm were in Stockholm to recieve the award.

Results for the quarter

Wihlborgs' sustainability targets concerning energy consumption, direct CO2 emissions, environmental certification and supplier evaluations are followed up and reported on each quarter. Other sustainability targets are reported on an annual basis.

Energy consumption

Energy intensity for the quarter was 32.6 kWh/m² Atemp. Yearon-year, this represented a marginal decline. The majority of the energy is consumed by district heating (80 percent) and property electricity (13 percent).

Wihlborgs retains its focus on making the portfolio more energy efficient. For example, reversible heat pump installations, the so-called "Janne solution", have positively impacted energy performance in a number of projects. This solution has reduced the respective energy intensity at Skrovet 6 and Nya Vattentornet 4 by 31 percent and 27 percent respectively compared with last year. Conversion to an air/water heat pump at Grytan 3 has resulted in a 39 percent reduction in energy intensity.

Wihlborgs is investing in solar power systems at its properties with the aim of reducing the quantity of purchased energy and increasing the share of renewable energy. These solar installations have a combined power output of just over 5 MWp. Despite limited sunshine during the quarter, these have generated 413 MWh, corresponding to 4 percent of Wihlborgs' total need for property electricity. New solar power systems corresponding to 439 kWp have been installed during the quarter.

CO2 emissions

In 2024, CO2 emissions within Scope 1 and 2 amounted to 0.32 kg CO2 e/m² NFA (0.49). The year-on-year decrease of emissions was primarily due to reduced emissions from Wihlborgs' portfolio in Denmark. Most of Wihlborgs' Scope 1 and 2 emissions derive from the natural gas and district heating consumed in the Danish portfolio. Accordingly, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the Danish portfolio depends on reducing emissions from district heating plants and increasing the share of biogas in relation to natural gas in the gas network. Scope 1 and 2 emissions from Swedish operations corresponded to only 0.03 kg CO2 e/m².

Sustainability reporting at Wihlborgs

CEO´s comments Market comments Income, expenses and profit Assets Sustainabl Sustainable business e Liabilities and equity Financial reports Key figures Definitions Calendar Contact

Wihlborgs compiles an annual sustainability report prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act, GRI Standards, EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR) and TCFD guidelines for reporting climate-related risks. We follow up on prioritised sustainability topics and goals in each interim report. We

also provide information about current activities and events during the quarter that have a bearing on our sustainability agenda. More information about our sustainability agenda is available on Wihlborgs' website. Read more at: www.wihlborgs.se/en/about-us/sustainability/

Certifications

The share of sustainability-certified properties in Wihlborgs' Swedish portfolio continues to increase and, at end of period, 78 percent (59) of the office properties' area (floor space) was certified. During the quarter, 11 existing properties, corresponding to 7 percent of the area, were certified in accordance with Miljöbyggnad iDrift. Moreover, Bläckhornet 1 (Vista) received certification pursuant to WELL and NollCo2. Work is ongoing with the certification of a further 16 existing properties. The objective is to have certified 90 percent of the office space in the Swedish portfolio by 2025.

At the end of 2023, work began on sustainability certification of properties in Wihlborgs' portfolio in Denmark. This work is progressing according to plan.

Supplier evaluations

Follow-ups and measurements have continued of the suppliers approved in accordance with Wihlborgs requirements for sustainability efforts. The follow-ups include the suppliers with whom the company has framework agreements, which are therefore engaged frequently, and companies believed to belong to industries that could involve greater risks. Efforts to increase the share of approved suppliers were intensified in Wihlborgs' Swedish operations during the quarter.

Internal collaboration together with continuous dialogues and partnerships with suppliers have resulted in an increase in the share of suppliers that are approved on all of our sustainability requirements to 85 percent (72). The corresponding figure for operations in Sweden is 99 percent.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Wihlborgs' future development and ability to reach its operational goals are influenced by numerous risks and uncertainties. By systematically reviewing, analysing and managing these risks and uncertainties, it is possible to limit them and concurrently create the prerequisites for continued growth.

The risks assessed as having a significant influence on the Group's earnings trend and cash flow are the variations in rental income, property costs and interest-rates. The properties are measured at fair value with changes in value in the income statement resulting in positive and negative impacts on earnings during the year. Property valuation also impacts Wihlborgs' financial position and key metrics. The extent of changes in value is partly determined by Wihlborgs' own capacity, through alteration and upgrading of properties, as well as by leases and client structures, to increase the properties' market value, and partly by external factors that affect supply and demand in the property markets where the company is active. Property valuation should take in to account an interval of uncertainty, which in a functioning market, typically consists of +/-5–10% to reflect the inherent uncertainty of assumptions and estimates.

In addition to the above, risks also include financing risks. Wihlborgs is dependent on external loans to meet its undertakings and complete transactions. Risks are managed using Wihlborgs' financial policy, which stipulates objectives, guidelines and risk limits for Wihlborgs' financial activities.

On pages 84–89 and 100–102 in the Company's 2023 Annual Report there is a comprehensive description of the risks facing the Group, how these are handled and a grading with regard to the assessed impact on the business and the probability that the risk will occur.

No significant changes have taken place in the company's risk assessment compared to what is described in the annual report for 2023.

Accounting policies

Wihlborgs follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as endorsed by the European Union. The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual

Accounts Act. Information under IAS 34 p.16A is submitted in the notes and elsewhere in the interim report.

The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the most recent annual report. Wihlborgs assesses that none of the new or amended standards approved by the EU, or interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee, that entered force after 1 January 2024, affect its results or financial position in any material sense. The Group applies the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups and the Parent Company applies RFR 2.

Definitions

Some of the financial metrics that Wihlborgs presents in the interim report are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Wihlborgs is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management, since they enable evaluation of the company's performance.

As all companies do not apply the same approach to calculating these financial metrics, they are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. Accordingly, these metrics should not be viewed as replacements for metrics defined under IFRS. On this page, definitions of metrics are presented that, with a few exceptions, are not defined in accordance with IFRS.

Key financial ratios

The key ratios are based on the statements of income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flow. Some of the historic data is compiled from the historical summary on page 21 in Wihlborgs' Interim Report.

Return on equity

Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding non-controlling interests. Average equity refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to shareholders' equity.

Return on capital employed (ROCE)

Earnings before interest expense, derivatives and taxes (EBIT) as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions. Average capital employed refers to the average of the opening and closing balances for each period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The metric shows the return on the capital provided by shareholders and lenders without regard to interest.

Equity/assets ratio

Equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. The ratio provides a measure of the financial strength of the company.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management, plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. The ratio measures the degree to which earnings can decline without jeopardising interest payments or, alternatively, how much interest expense can increase before income from property management becomes negative.

Loan-to-value ratio, properties

Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.

Surplus ratio

The operating surplus, shown as a percentage of rental income. The ratio illustrates the proportion of rental income that remains after deducting property management costs.

Debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing liabilitites relative to equity. Interest-bearing liabilities include borrowings, lease liabilities and any other interest-bearing liabilities. The ratio illustrates the relationship between borrowings and equity and, thereby, the gearing and financial strength.

Investment yield

The operating surplus shown as a percentage of the properties' average carrying amount. The average carrying amount refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the yield is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio illustrates the yield on the property portfolio without taking account of its financing costs.

Net Debt / EBITDA

Borrowings minus liquid assets in the financial statements, measured at five measurement occasions (quarterly) in the last twelve months, divided by operating surplus minus central administration, rolling twelve months. The key figure shows the company's earning capacity relative to borrowings, net.

Exchange rate changes on rental income

When calculating the period's revenue increase, comparable currencies are used. As each period is converted to current exchange rates, exchange rate differences arise on rental income in comparison between two periods.

Share-related key ratios

Earnings per share for the period

Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Earnings per share are the same before and after dilution. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share before tax

Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA EPS

Income from property management less the estimated tax payable on taxable income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Taxable income from property management is defined as income from property management less fiscal depreciation/ amortisation and direct deductions. The effect of loss carryforwards is not taken into consideration.

Cash flows from operating activities per share

Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA NDV - Net disposal value, per share

The closing balances for equity divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

EPRA NRV - Net reinstatement value, per share

The closing balances for equity following the reversal of interest-rate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

Dividend yield per share

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.

Total yield per share

Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.

P/E ratio I, multiple

Market price per share divided by earnings per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

P/E ratio II, multiple

Market price per share divided by EPRA RPS per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

Average fixed interest period

Time remaining until the interest on all interest bearing debts in average has been adjusted.

Average loan maturity

Time remaining until an average of all interest bearing debts has been refinanced.

Property-related key figures*

These key figures are based on the property table on page 10. The table shows the estimated rental value, rental income and property expenses on an annualised basis with an unchanged property portfolio, based on the contract stock on the first day after the end of the period.

Rental value Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.

Estimated investment yield Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.

Rental income per m2 Rental income on an annualised basis divided by lettable area.

Operating surplus per m2 Operating surplus divided by lettable area.

Economic occupancy rate Rental income as a percentage of rental value.

Estimated surplus ratio Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.

Net Lettings New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.

Like-for-like

Excludes properties that both current and comparative period are classified as projects/land, aquired or sold.

*) These key figures are operational and are not regarded as alternative key ratios according to ESMA's guidelines.
