CFO COMMENTS

"A calm quarter with continued investments for the future"

The transaction market was still cautious at the start of the year, which affected all three of Catella's business areas. Transaction volumes fell 67 percent year-on-year, the biggest decrease since the financial crisis in the late 2000s. Before buyers' and sellers' expectations align, we must work with these market conditions and continue to focus on long-term value creation.

With a strong 2022 behind us and a solid financial position, we are well-positioned to continue growing the company through investments in digitalisation and capital raising, evaluation of M&A opportunities, opportunistic investments, and the launch of new products.

In April, we welcomed Gianluca Romano, who will help to strengthen our capacity to raise capital. With Gianluca on our team, we can further utilise our unique local expertise, long experience and European investment strategy to promote future growth. With an extensive background as an advisor to institutional investors and asset managers, he will sharpen Catella's strategy and work with global institutional investors.

Stable assets under management in an inactive investment market

Assets under management totalled SEK 141 Bn at the end of the quarter, an increase of 12 percent year-on-year, but unchanged since the start of the year. Our shares in Catella Hospitality Europe were divested during the quarter, resulting in an outflow of SEK 2 Bn in assets under management. The decision to sell the platform to partners was based on profitability not meeting our targets. The transaction generated a profit of SEK 5 M and will contribute to a stronger underlying operating margin going forward.

The sluggish transaction market also resulted in lower variable income in the business area. However, due to the growth in previous years, the underlying income base from fixed management fees is strong. Operating profit of more than SEK 30 M proves the resilience of our underlying business model, with solid profitability despite the slow transaction market. Despite a limited inflow of new capital, we view 2023 with a certain optimism as we continue to have a large pipeline of transactions to complete, and capital commitments of approximately SEK 10 Bn at the end of the quarter

Stronger focus on liquidity and completion of existing investments

During the quarter, Catella signed an agreement relating to the sale of a logistics facility in Vaggeryd. The sale will generate a singledigit profit in SEK M, which will be recognised in the second quarter and further materially strengthen our liquidity.

In today's market characterised by uncertainty, low activity, and re-

pricing, we expect divestments of completed projects to be limited during 2023. However, thanks to our financial position, we can afford to delay the divestment of completed and cash flow positive properties. At the same time, we are flexible and ready to utilize liquidity for other investment opportunities that we are actively working with currently.

We have not invested in any new projects since the start of the year and are instead continuing to develop existing projects, albeit at a slower pace. At the end of the quarter, Principal Investments' investments in six countries totalled approximately SEK 1.2 Bn in 10 projects.

A weak quarter for the advisory services market

The first quarter is seasonally the least active from a historical perspective. This quarter was exceptionally weak, with transaction volumes plummeting by 67 percent in Europe and by a hefty 75 percent in Sweden. The lack of activity in the market also caused Corporate Finance's income to fall to SEK 66 M (88). However, the loss was slightly reduced by decisions taken in the first quarter 2022 to focus our operations to five countries.

Well-positioned for long-term value creation

Although profit in the quarter was hampered by a slow transaction market, we have further strengthened our liquidity at Group level and still have plenty of capital to increase our fund investments. In a continued turbulent market, we benefit from our strong financial position and strong local asset management expertise, which is more important now than ever. This enables us to continue building on the value potential of our pan-European platform and opportunities to scale our offering, broaden our customer relationships, and build long-term value.

Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 05 May 2023

Group net sales and profit/loss First quarter 2023

The Group's net sales totalled SEK 367 M (333) and the Group's total income amounted to SEK 462 M (581), of which SEK 250 M (23 I ) relates to Investment Management, SEK 131 M (262) to Principal Investments and SEK 81 M (98) to Corporate Finance. The increase in net sales during the period is mainly attributable to higher fixed management fees in Investment Management and rental income from the Kaktus residential project in Principal Investments. Corporate Finance's net sales decreased partly due to discontinued or divested operations in Germany and the Baltics, and partly due to lower fees in a sluggish transaction market. Moreover, Principal Investments recognised revenue for the project Barcelona Logistics during the period, which generated income of SEK 73 M. The previous year included the divestment of the logistics project Infrahubs Norrköping, which generated income of SEK 233 M during the period.

The Group's operating profit was SEK -2 M ( I I I ), with the year-on-year decrease

primarily attributable to an absence of sales in Principal Investments. Moreover, the Group's fixed payroll expenses rose due to a higher number of employees.

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

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK I M (-19) and included interest income of SEK 16 M (8) and loan arrangement fees of SEK 40 M (18). 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. Net financial income/expense also includes profit of SEK 5 M from the sale of Catella's shares in the French company Catella Hospitality Europe SAS to the company's local management, which is also the minority shareholder. The valuation of securities holdings and investments at fair value resulted in a value adjustment of SEK 6 M (-

19), attributable to Pamica. Net financial income/expense also includes positive exchange rate differences of SEK 13 M (10) due to revaluations of receivables and cash equivalents in foreign currencies.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK - I M (92) and profit/loss for the period was SEK -8 M (79) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.09 (0.90) to the Parent Company shareholders.

Significant events in the quarter

On 24 February, Mattias Brodin stepped down as CFO and a member of Group management. Michel Fischier, Head of Investor Relations and Group Communications, was appointed Interim CFO pending recruitment of a new CFO.

In March, 25,500 Class A shares were converted into the same number of Class B shares at the request of shareholders.

First quarter 2023

Total income was SEK 250 M (23 I ), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 207 M (196) in the quarter.

Property Funds' income increased by SEK 16 M year-on-year. Fixed income increased by SEK 27 M due to increased management fees driven by growth in assets under management (+15 Bn) over the last 12 months.

Variable income (including performance fee¨s) in Property Funds decreased by SEK -18 M. This decrease is primarily related to lower acquisition fees resulting from a cautious transaction market with fewer transactions. Income in Asset Management

remained steady year-on-year.

Operating profit/loss was SEK 3 I M, with the decease in profit primarily attributable to higher personnel expenses due to a larger number of employees than the previous year.

Investment Management

Assets under management by service area and country

Total assets under management (AUM) was SEK 140.6 Bn, of which SEK 106.8 Bn related to Property Funds and SEK 33.7 Bn to Asset Management. At the end of the period, 76 percent was invested in Catella's property funds. Germany is Property

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY SERVICE AREA

Change in assets under management

Assets under management increased from SEK 125.5 Bn to SEK 140.6 Bn in the last I 2-month period, which represents an increase of SEK 15.1 Bn. The increase was driven by inflows of SEK 18.6 Bn, primarily to residential funds, with the property funds Catella Wohnen Europa, Catella European Residential and Catella Dutch Residential II accounting for the largest inflows.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT, LAST 12 MONTHS, SEK BN

Outflows of SEK -16.3 Bn were primarily due to the divestment of 34 rental properties in Germany and the Netherlands during the fourth quarter 2022. The increase in the assets' value added SEK 2.7 Bn. In addition, positive exchange rate effects of SEK 10.1 Bn, mainly related to exchange rate differences in EUR/SEK, had a positive effect on AUM. Assets under management for the first quarter are in line with the

previous quarter at SEK 140.6 Bn. The quarter saw inflows of SEK I Bn, primarily driven by residential funds. During the quarter, the sale of Catella Hospitality Europe SAS resulted in an outflow of SEK -2 Bn in AUM. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, had a positive impact of SEK 1.9 Bn on AUM.

Principal Investments

Through Principal Investments, Catella carries out principal property investments together with partners and external investors. Catella currently invests in offices, residential units and logistics properties in seven geographical markets. Investments are made through subsidiaries and associated companies with the aim of generating an average IRR of 20 percent as well as strategic advantages for Catella's other business areas.

First quarter 2023

Total income was SEK 131 M (262) in the first quarter and relates mainly to income from the Spanish project Barcelona Logistics, for which revenue was recognised during the period following a sale of land. This recognised revenue was offset by production costs equivalent to the revenue generated, which produced a profit of

zero. Moreover, the total income relates to the logistics project Infrahubs Norrköping, which generated income from the supply of solar panels, management fees in Catella Project Management, and rental income from Kaktus. Development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit/loss for the segment was

SEK 9 M in the quarter, and was primarily attributable to rental income from Kaktus and Infrahubs' sale of solar panels.

As of 31 March, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK 1,211 M in residential projects, logistics projects, office projects and retail projects in Europe.

The Group's total income amounted to SEK 462 M (58 I ) and is commented on in the section 'Group Progress'. The Group's operating profit was SEK 7 M (215) and was impacted by lower transaction costs in Corporate Finance, lower transactionbased fees in Investment Management, an absence of sales in Principal Investments and higher fixed personnel expenses.

The Group's total assets decreased by SEK 210 M in the first quarter, amounting to SEK 6,111 M as of 31 March 2023. This change is mainly due to adjustment of working capital items such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, etc.

In addition to positive exchange rate differences of SEK 18 M, consolidated equity was impacted by fair value changes in Visa shares for SEK 2 M, which are recognised under Other comprehensive income.

Employees

Risks and uncertainties

The current macroeconomic situation with rising inflation and increased interest rates could impact future return and transaction levels, and hence also impact assets under management as well as profit in Catella In-

vestment Management and Catella Corporate Finance. In Principal Investments, opportunity to sell projects at acceptable prices can be affected by the current market conditions and reduced transaction volumes. Rising material costs and supply shortages have affected projects in Principal Investments to some degree in 2022. However, management has noted that cost increases have slowed in recent months and supply chains have opened up again, which means that the risks are assessed to be lower going forward.

See Note 4 in the Annual Report 2022 for further significant estimates and judgements.

Seasonal variations

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

Note 2 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 remeasurements are continuously performed

* The discount rate recognised in the "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 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 the 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 has assumed that the time call will be exercised in the second quarter of 2023. This assumption is conservative as it means that no further cash flows than the position's current capital amount of EUR 3.1 M plus the following quarter's cash flow will be received when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued at EUR 3.6 M.

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

Note 4 The Group's assets and liabilities measured 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. 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 the financial instruments. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2022.

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 31 March 2023 are indicated in the following table.

Corporate management considers that this information facilitates analysis of the Group's performance. This additional information is complementary to the information provided by IFRS and does not

replace performance measures defined in IFRS. Catella's definitions of measures not defined under IFRS may differ from other companies' definitions. All of Catella's definitions are presented below.
