In a turbulent market, Catella continues to make positive progress. Compared to the third quarter previous year, assets under management increased by SEK 30 Bn to SEK 142 Bn and operating profit improved to SEK 62 M, an increase of over 30 percent. A strong financial position gives us the right opportunities to continue developing the company going forward.
Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President
• Assets under management increased by approximately SEK 7 Bn during the quarter, primarily driven by growth in Catella's property funds and Catella APAM UK
• The investing activities invested SEK 355 M in ongoing projects during the quarter



I am pleased to present improved profits and continued growth in assets under management in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. We are however not unaffected by the macro climate, where uncertainty is dampening investment activities and making financing challenging. The transaction market declined sharply in the second part of the year, which affects all three of our business areas. We believe it will take additional time before sellers' expectations are sufficiently reduced and buyers perceive that the market has reached the necessary stability for long-term investment decisions, after which the property market will enter a stronger phase. During a cautious period, our strong financial position enables us to make long-term investments in areas such as product development, M&A, opportunistic direct investments, and digitalization.
Assets under management increased by SEK 7 Bn to SEK 142 Bn in the third quarter, and we are pleased that our real estate funds and mandates continue to deliver strong returns coupled with a strong sustainability focus. However, a likely scenario until markets stabilize is that capital inflows and growth will decrease in the near term, due to a slower transaction market and a lower investment appetite. In the current market environment, we will continue to develop our fund offering with products with a sustainable profile, which has been a growth driver in recent years. We are also developing new value-add product strategies, driven by demand from our pan-European clients.
During the quarter, Catella signed an agreement for the sale of 26 rental properties in Germany and eight in the Netherlands with approximately 4,000 apartments to ZBI Group from two of our residential funds. The rationale for the sale is to modernize the property portfolios and to enable new investments with an improved sustainability profile. The transaction is expected to be completed and accounted for around year end.
Investment Management's operating profit improved by 60% yearon-year. This was largely driven by fixed fees from our continued growth in assets under management, and also by performancebased income from specific asset management mandates.
In Principal Investments, we continue to develop our projects as planned. However, the timing of planned sales has been delayed slightly. Investors are less active than previously, which is natural in an environment where underwriting and macro parameters are less predictable. In such an environment, it is an advantage to be well-capitalised and stay calm during the current turbulence, as our projects remain attractive in the long term. We are also looking at a number of opportunistic investments in various European segments and geographies.
As of September 30, Principal Investments had approximately SEK 1.3 Bn invested in 11 projects in six countries.
Before buyers' and sellers' expectations align, the transaction market will continue to be relatively inactive. Corporate Finance sees a stable pipeline of transactions during the upcoming quarters, albeit at a slower pace than normal. On the other hand, demand for valuation services is strong in the current uncertain market with material price movements.
Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 6 M, an increase of SEK 10 M compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to divestments of loss-making operations earlier in the year.
We predict, and are adapting to, continued uncertainty in the macro-economic and geopolitical environment, with a dampened transaction market affecting all of our business areas. We continue to develop product offerings in sustainable investments and management mandates to promote energy transition, an area in which investor interest remains strong. We are also working with our investment partners to develop new product strategies with increased focus on long-term value-add investments in areas where we see business opportunities. Thanks to our strong financial position and attractive assets, we are in the comfortable position to hold our own assets until the market has stabilized, and instead focus on evaluating new opportunistic investments. In Corporate Finance, we continue to help our customers in a more sluggish transaction market, primarily through larger portfolio transactions, including financing advice.
At Parent Company level I am pleased to welcome Peter Umegård as Chief Digitalization Officer. With Peter's experience added by further recruitment of leading-edge competencies in data and digitalisation, we will raise our level in data, analysis, research, AI and new product strategies. As always, our aim is to help our investors and customers to create value, based on intelligence-driven, future-focused strategies and investment opportunities.

Thank you for your continued confidence in Catella.
Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 28 October 2022

The Group's total income in the ninemonth period was SEK 1,936 M (1,173), and the Group's net sales amounted to SEK 1,379 M (1,131). The significantly higher income primarily relates to Principal Investments, which divested three properties and commenced revenue recognition for a further three properties during the period. Significant income increases are also reported in Investment Management, where increased volumes and performance-based income from strong management results are driving income.
The Group's operating profit was SEK 501 M (38), of which SEK 233 M (0) relates to projects divested during the period. The operating profit included a loss of SEK 11 M attributable to the Corporate Finance business area's operations in Germany, which are being discontinued.
Last year's profit was negatively affected by divestment costs of SEK 109 M relating to the subsidiary IPM.
The Interest income totalled SEK 32 M (13), and loan arrangement fees amounted to SEK 59 M (59). The higher interest income is a result of increased loan financing
for property development projects. Net financial income/expense also includes fair value adjustments of loan portfolios of SEK -20 M, fund holdings of SEK -8 M and the SEK 14 M holding in Pamica, as well as positive exchange rate differences of SEK 48 M (10).
The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 508 M (124) and profit/loss for the period was SEK 394 M (79), which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK 4.46 (0.90) to the Parent Company shareholders.

SEK 28 M (-45 percent), driven mainly by fewer acquisitions in property funds.
Asset Management's income after assignment costs rose by SEK 41 M compared to the previous year. The rise in income is mainly attributable to performance-based fees and transaction fees in Catella Asset Management Denmark, Catella Asset Management Finland and Catella Asset Management Benelux.
Operating costs increased mainly due to higher variable personnel expenses. Operating profit/loss for Investment Management was SEK 90 M, with the rise in profit
primarily driven by the higher income in Asset Management.

The Group's total income amounted to SEK 494 M (376) and is commented on in the section "Group Progress". Operating profit rose to SEK 71 M (SEK 48 M). The rise was mainly attributable to the Asset Management service area, which realised a profit of SEK 34 M for the Green Point residential project. Moreover, profit for the period was negatively affected by expected losses of SEK 8 M in two ongoing French logistics projects. The tax expense for the period was SEK 22 M (12), corresponding to effective tax of 22 percent (25). The slight year-on-year decline in effective tax is mainly due to low or no tax on profit from divested property projects.
In the third quarter, the Group's consolidated equity increased by SEK 194 M, amounting to SEK 5,813 M as of 30 September 2022. Cash and cash equivalents, adjusted for exchange rate differences, increased by SEK 191 M, due in part to the sale of Infrahubs Örebro and Ljungby and the divestment of shares in Visa Inc.
In the third quarter, the Group's consolidated equity increased by SEK 92 M, amounting to SEK 2,274 M as of 30 September 2022.

As of 30 September 2022, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 39 percent (33 percent as of 31 December 2021).
In connection with the final settlement, which will be completed during the fourth quarter, there will be additional development costs for Principal Investment's development project in Ljungby.

Cash flow in the period totalled SEK 105 M (-163).
The Parent Company recognised income of SEK 9.0 M (4.3) and operating profit/loss was SEK -11.1 M (-9.9). The drop in operating profit is primarily attributable to higher personnel expenses as a result of staff expansion. The number of employees at the end of the period was 21 (18).
The Parent Company's Net financial income/expense totalled SEK -10.8 M (- 15.3) and included dividend of SEK 7.4 M from the Catella Real Estate AG subsidiary. Net financial income/expense also includes interest and arrangement costs for bond loans totalling SEK 18.5 M (15.8)

At the end of the period, there were 493 (520) employees, expressed as full-time equivalents.
The current macro economic position with rising inflation and increased interest rates could impact future return and transaction levels, and hence also impact assets under management and profit in Catella Investment Management and Catella Corporate Finance. The Group management has also identified an increased risk of rising material costs and supply shortages which could impact the projects in Principal Investments.
See Note 4 in the Annual Report 2021 for further significant estimates and judgements.
Within the Corporate Finance operating segment, seasonal variations are significant. Transaction volumes and income have historically been highest in the fourth quarter.

Auditor's review report for interim financial information in summary (Interim Report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (Interim Report) of Catella AB (corporate ID no. 556079-1419) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Report based on our review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is significantly limited in scope compared to the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards generally. The procedures performed in a review do not allow us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report has not been prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

* Profit/loss attributable to non-controlling interests for each business area are not included. To clarify the operating profit is attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company by business area and which reconciles to the internal report Group Management deliver to the Board. This adjustment is reversed in the column for Group eliminations so that the Group Operating profit reconciles to the Group's formal Income Statement, completed in accordance with the Group's accounting principles.
The operating segments reported above, 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, other holding companies and operations being wound down are recognized in the 'Other' category. 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 operating segments. Transactions between the operating segments are limited and relate mainly to financial transactions and certain reinvoicing of expenses. Any transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis.

The loan portfolios comprise securitized 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 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.
In the sub-portfolio Pastor 2, the underlying loans are less than ten percent of the issued amount and Catella expects the issuer to utilize its clean-up call. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below 10 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 given several 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 4.2 M.
The time call affects sub-portfolio Lusitano 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the sub-portfolio at a specific point in time, and from time to time subsequently. The option has been available since 2015. Catella evaluates that the time call will be exercised in the fourth quarter of 2022. The assumption is conservative due to this requiring no further cash flows other than the position's current capital amount of
EUR 3.1 M plus the following quarter's cash flow when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued to EUR 3.7 M. This assessment is different to assessments from the annual accounts for 2021 due to the assumption previously having been that the time call would not be exercised and that the position would instead continue maturing until the clean-up call in 2027. This resulted in the portfolio being impaired by SEK 17.3 M (EUR 1.6 M) in the first quarter of 2022.
Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2021.

In accordance with IFRS 7, financial instruments are recognized on the basis of fair value hierarchically with three different levels. Classification is based on the input data used for measuring 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 in 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. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2021.
The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 30 September 2022 are stated in the following table.
