Continued progress on value-creating activities in a slow transaction market

"The calm transaction market in the first half-year has allowed us to increase our focus on long-term value creation throughout the organization. The agreement to acquire a majority of the French company Aquila was a step in this process. We have also continued the work of creating the next generation of investment products with focus on sustainability and a high degree of digitization. Despite a challenging economic environment, we have delivered a stable development of assets under management."

CFO COMMENTS

''Continued progress on value-creating activities in a slow transaction market''

Transaction volumes in Europe totalled EUR 24 Bn in the second quarter. This is the lowest level since the global financial crisis in 2008/09 and a decrease of over 60 percent year-on-year. Our decision to streamline operations and our focus on maintaining and strengthening our financial position benefits us in the current market climate. This allows us to invest in the company's future during a hesitant market, both through real estate-, M&A- investments, and through long-term value creation in operational improvements and digital development.

In the quarter, we announced that we signed an agreement relating to the acquisition of 60 percent of Aquila. The French company comprises Aquila Asset Management and property fund manager Axipit Real Estate Partners, with a total of just over SEK I 6 Bn in assets under management. The acquisition complements Catella's existing Corporate Finance activities in France and provides a key piece of the puzzle to our continued growth ambitions for Europe. The integration of Aquila into Catella allows us to internally manage the French property holdings in our funds, and assume a relevant asset management position during interesting market conditions. In addition, the investment fund platform, Axipit, adds retail investments, a market that continues to grow in the current market. The acquisition is expected to be completed in September.

After the end of the quarter, Catella APAM (UK) was assigned a l 2-month advisory mandate for Transport for London (TfL). This represent another prestigious assignment for our UK platform. Initially, the contract will involve assisting TfL's wholly-owned commercial property company in understanding and realizing the potential of its assets, although in the longer term it may also open up opportunities for growth in assets under management.

Towards the end of July, we divested our 50 percent holding in Infrahubs and associated project companies for a purchase consideration corresponding to total invested capital, plus SEK 12 M for the value of the platform and assets. Through our partnership with Infrahubs we have successfully contributed to the Swedish market's need for sustainable logistics solutions, and we wish Infrahubs every success on its continued growth journey. The transaction reduces our exposure to development projects and will free up additional capital for other growth investments.

Growth in assets under management

At the end of the quarter, assets under management in Investment Management totalled SEK 149 Bn, an increase of SEK 9 Bn from the start of the year. Completed development projects mainly contributed to the positive change, as well as exchange rate effects.

The Catella European Residential fund generated significant performance-based income in the quarter, although overall, variable income was lower as a direct result of reduced transaction volumes. However, growth over the past few years has increased the underlying income base from fixed management fees, which increased by 14 percent year-on-year. Capital commitments for future investments remain extensive and will largely be utilized in the funds' development projects. Stable fixed income, capital commitments, and continued strong investor relationships mean that Investment Management stands strong in a turbulent market.

Focus on strengthening liquidity and new investments

The divestment of the logistics property in Vaggeryd was completed in the quarter, generating SEK 4.5 M in profit for Parent Company shareholders. Furthermore, the transaction increased liquidity by SEK 306 M.

We foresee limited divestments of completed projects in 2023. This is due to low transaction market activity and high uncertainty. However, we actively and continuously evaluate opportunities for new investments that meet our return requirements, mainly in coinvestments with the aim of generating additional management mandates.

At the end of the quarter, Principal Investments' investments in six countries totalled approximately SEK 1.5 Bn in 10 projects.

Advisory market remains quiet

As already mentioned, the transaction market remains hesitant. This affects all business areas, but mainly Corporate Finance. Income decreased by 38 percent year-on-year, resulting in negative operating profit of SEK -22 M (SEK 26 M). However, we expect some improvement in the second half of the year given the latent demand, although it is difficult to predict precisely how and when this will be realized.

Continued focus on value-creating investments and product development

Our breadth alongside local management competencies and a strong financial position provide us with significant opportunities. Lower valuations of potential acquisition targets provide us with the opportunity to expand our pan-European platform and to generate synergies. The dry powder in our funds provides the opportunity to grow assets under management. Our track record of navigating turbulent markets allows us to create the next generation of investment opportunities for our customers. A relatively calm transaction market also provides us the time and focus in creating long-term value in the organization. We have embarked on an exciting journey that I am eager to pursue.

Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 18 August 2023

Group net sales and profit/loss Second quarter 2023

The Group's net sales totalled SEK 483 M (641) and the Group's total income amounted to SEK 786 M (861), of which SEK 370 M (47 I ) relates to Investment Management, SEK 320 M (242) to Principal Investments and SEK 92 M (149) to Corporate Finance. Lower net sales in the period were mainly attributable to decreased variable income (performance fees) in Investment Management and reduced income in Corporate Finance. Principal Investments divested the logistics property Infrahubs Vaggeryd, which generated income of SEK 280 M, while rental income from the Kaktus residential project totalled SEK 20 M.

Group operating profit amounted to SEK 84 M (328) with the decrease in yearon-year sales mainly attributable to lower

performance-based fees from managed funds in Investment Management. The deterioration was also due to fewer divested projects and lower profit margins on divested projects in Principal Investments.

Comments on the progress of each operating segment can be found on pages 6-IO.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK 23 M (-2) and included interest income of SEK 18 M (9) and loan arrangement fees of SEK 33 M (19). Increased interest expenses are attributable partly to Catella AB's bond loan, which accrues floating-rate interest at 3-month Stibor plus 475 b.p, and partly to the Kaktus project, for which interest expenses attributable to the completed residential properties are recognised in the Income Statement as of I January 2023. The valuation of securities holdings and investments at fair value resulted in a value adjustment of SEK - I I M (-8), of which SEK -15 M was attributable to loan portfolios and SEK 6 M to Pamica. Net financial income/expense also includes positive exchange rate differences of SEK 49 M (16) due to revaluations of receivables and cash equivalents in foreign currencies.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 107 M (326) and net profit for the period was SEK 84 M (247), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.95 (2.80) attributable to Parent Company shareholders.

Net profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 6 M (58), of which SEK 4 M related to profit from the divestment of Infrahubs Vaggeryd.

First half-year 2023

Total income in the first half-year was SEK 1,248 M (1,442), and the Group's net sales were SEK 850 M (974). Increased assets under management in Investment Management increased the business area's fixed income but was not offset by lower performance-based fees from managed funds. Corporate Finance's net sales also decreased due to fewer completed deals on a hesitant transaction market. Principal Investments divested a property and initiated revenue recognition for another property in the period. In the corresponding period of the previous year, three properties were divested and a further two recognized in revenue. The Group's operating profit was SEK 82 M (439).

The Group's net financial income and expense was SEK 24 M (-2 I ), of which interest income was SEK 34 M (17) and interest and loan arrangement fees amounted to SEK 73 M (37). Net financial income/expense also included positive exchange rate differences of SEK 61 M (26), positive fair value adjustment in the Pamica holding of SEK I I I M and impairment of

loan portfolios and fund holdings of SEK I 2 M and SEK 4 M respectively.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 106 M (418) and net profit for the period was SEK 76 M (326) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK 0.86 (3.69) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Net profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 14 M (163), of which SEK 9 M related to profit from divested projects in Principal Investments.

Significant events in the quarter

Michel Fischier, Head of Investor Relations and Acting CFO, was appointed new CFO of Catella in May.

The transaction is subject to approval from the authorities which is expected to be obtained in the second half of 2023.

In July, Catella entered into an agreement to divest its 50 percent holding in Infrahubs AB and associated project companies for a purchase consideration corresponding to invested capital plus SEK 12 M for the platform.

Total income was SEK 370 M (471), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 327 M (434).

Operating profit was SEK I I I M, primarily attributable to a decrease in variable fees in Property Funds.

First half-year 2023

Total income was SEK 620 M (702), and operating profit was SEK 142 M (258). The lower operating profit was mainly driven by lower performance-based and variable fees in Property Funds.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT. LAST 12 MONTHS. SEK BN

Properties - European Cities accounted for the largest inflows. Outflows of SEK -15.2 Bn were primarily due to the divestment of 34 rental properties in Germany and the Netherlands during the fourth quarter 2022, and the divestment of Catella Hospitality Europe SAS. In addition, positive exchange rate effects of SEK 13.6+ Bn, mainly related to exchange rate differences in EUR/SEK, had a positive effect on

AUM. Assets under management increased by SEK 8.7 Bn in the second quarter compared to SEK 140.6 Bn in the first quarter. Inflows in the quarter of SEK 5.4 Bn were mainly driven by Property Funds. Outflows primarily related to Asset Management, where assets were divested in various portfolios. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, had a positive impact of SEK 7.1 Bn on AUM.

Principal Investments

Turnover and profit Second quarter 2023

Income was SEK 320 M (242) and mainly comprised income from the divestment of the logistics property Infrahubs Vaggeryd. Production costs for the property were in line with generated income which resulted in lower net income from the sale. Furthermore, income comprised management fees in Catella Project Management, as well as rental income from Kaktus. Both development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit for the segment was SEK 5 M attributable primarily to rental income from Kaktus and Infrahubs' sale of the logistics property Vaggeryd.

As of 30 June, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK 1,533 M in residential projects, logistics projects, office projects and retail projects in Europe.

First half-year 2023

Income was SEK 451 M (504), and operating profit was SEK 14 M (199). The decline in operating profit was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the sale of Infrahubs' properties in Norrköping, Örebro and Ljungby in the comparative period.

Corporate Finance's income was SEK 92 M (149) and income adjusted for assignment costs was SEK 70 M (134), a decrease of SEK -64 M.

Operating costs decreased by SEK - 1 6 M, mainly due to lower variable personnelrelated costs driven by lower income. Operating profit was SEK -22 M (26), a decrease of SEK -48 M.

First half-year 2023

Income was SEK 172 M (247), and operating profit was SEK -41 M (4). The transaction market in Europe experienced a declining trend since the start of the year, which affected all operations in the Corporate Finance business area leading to a reduction in income and the associated operating profit.

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 al lows 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 4.5 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 2023. 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 2.3 M. This is SEK 1.2 M lower compared to the start of the year and the adjustment affects profit in the second quarter 2023. The reason for this is that previously distributed amounts such as interest have been reclassified by the fund's Principal Agent to amortizations with the aim of adjusting the position's outstanding capital amount to a figure corresponding to the fund's minimum cash reserve account.

Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2022.

Note 4 Group assets valued at fair value

In accordance with IFRS 7, financial instruments are recognised on the basis of fair value hierarchically with three different levels. Classification is based on the input data used for measuring the instruments. Quoted prices on an active market on the reporting date are applied for level 1. Oservable 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 the financial instruments. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2022.

The Group's assets measured at fair value as of 30 June 2023 are stated in the following table.
