CEO COMMENTS "Continued growth and profitability"

It was a strong start to the year across all three business areas, Investment Management, Principal Investments and Corporate Finance. Assets under management increased by SEK 17 Bn and operating profit attributable to the Parent Company shareholders increased by SEK 127 M to SEK 111 M year-on-year. The drivers behind the strong progress are primarily due to Principal Investment's first property sale from the Infrahus portfolio and last year's positive growth of assets under management in Investment Management.

The first quarter of 2022 was unfortunately impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a significant increase in macro economic uncertainty. The crisis brings the debate regarding energy efficiency and sustainability to the table as well as a global increase in interest rates and inflation. These challenges, and opportunities, for the real estate sector makes it even more important for Catella to refine and develop our company with a clear goal of being the link between property and global capital.

Following the divestments and liquidations of Catella's non-core business segments, we have continued to develop and strengthen our remaining operations. As part of this, we performed a strategic review of Corporate Finance which resulted in the difficult decision to discontinue our operations in Germany and the Baltics where we have experienced limited synergies for the Group and losses for several years. The divestment impacted the first quarter with non-recurring costs but ensures that going forward we can focus further on growing the markets where we have a strong position, and further benefit from the existing synergies between Corporate Finance and our other business areas.

A focused company also gives us the ability to accelerate growth by broadening our product offering and expanding geographically. Our majority holding purchase of Warsaw Property Partners at the start of May is an example of opening up a new market which will immediately generate an Investment Management platform and opportunities to identify development projects for Principal Investments in collaboration with our new partners.

Stable inflow of new capital in Investment Management

In line with previous years, the first quarter was quiet and had lower acquisition activity and hence moderate growth in assets under management, which currently amounts to SEK 126 Bn. Behind the growth was a strong inflow to the CER III fund, Catella's first dark green, article 9 classified, fund which reached the milestone of EUR I Bn in the quarter. I am also pleased that we launched our second dark green fund, Elithis Towers, which plans to develop approximately 100 energy-positive residential properties. This is an exciting and long-term partnership and also the world's first "Energy-positive Residential Impact Fund".

To further meet our own and our investor's sustainability ambitions, we have started a review of our current property holding within our funds. The aim of the review is to give us a clear picture of which properties we can, and should, adapt from a sustainability perspective and which should be divested in order to invest in more sustainability assets.

Year-on year, Investment Management's operating profit improved by 70% and demonstrates the scalability of the business model. The interest in our investments remains strong and committed capital for future fund investments exceeds SEK 12 Bn which enables further growth. In the quarter we simplified the name of the business area to "Investment Management".

First sale from the Infrahub portfolio and a total of seven development projects in Principal Investments which will be completed and divested during 2022

In March, the first sale of a development project from the partly owned Infrahubs was completed. There was great interest in the property, which confirms our solid business model of developing a portfolio of modern and sustainable logistics properties with long leases. The sale generated a total profit of SEK 102 M, with an additional SEK 30 M to be recognized when the installation of what will be the largest rooftop photovoltaic cell facility in the Nordics is completed.

To further simplify and clarify Catella's organisational structure, all project development companies were moved to Principal Investments in the quarter. Currently, we have SEK 1.3 Bn invested in 16 projects in six countries. Seven of these are expected to be completed and divested during 2022.

A stronger and focused Corporate Finance

Despite a weaker transaction market, as usual during the first quarter, operating profit increased by SEK 20 M after excluding non-recurring costs related to winding-down the German operations (SEK 17 M).

Corporate Finance Sweden was the transaction advisor for the sale of the logistics property in Norrköping, which generated a successful sale for Principal Investments and a market based fee for Corporate Finance, proving the important role Corporate Finance plays for the rest of Catella.

Despite a more uncertain global outlook, we see a continuous stable pipeline of transactions in the upcoming quarters. We also see an increased demand for services within our newly launched business area, Debt Advisory, as an effect of a tighter credit market and refinancing needs.

Outlook

The macro economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue and are impacting the decisions we make for the future. In the shortterm it is evident that we are entering a market with higher inflation and rising interest rates. Furthermore, we note an increased interest in sustainable assets, which to us is positive.

However, I feel secure in the quality of our current pipeline and the investment philosophy that we base decisions on. Looking ahead, we will not comprise our return requirements nor risk control for future investment decisions in a more uncertain macro environment.

Next week, I will gather my European colleagues to discuss future challenges and opportunities in an environment with tighter monetary policy and increased focus on sustainability. The aim is to reach a clear agenda and consensus regarding areas where we can mitigate potential negative effects from an increasing uncertainties. But, more importantly, our aim is to identify and develop sustainable services and products better adapted to a changing world.

My personal ambition is that Catella will continue to create and refine its existing portfolio of partner companies and development platforms with a shared sustainability vision and the ability to deliver stable growth and a profitable project pipeline.

Other financial information

Consolidated Profit and Financial Position

The Group's total income amounted to SEK 581 M (315) and is commented on in the section "Group Progress". Operating profit increased to SEK 216 M (-27), the increase primarily related to the sale of the property Infraubs Norrköping which generated a profit after cost of sales of SEK 203 M.

In the first quarter, the Group's total assets increased by SEK 238 M and amounted to SEK 5.679 M as of 31 March 2022. The change is partly due to profit from sale of SEK 233 M related to Infrahubs Norrköping which is included in the balance sheet item Contract assets. Furthermore, an additional acquisition of shares in the French logistics projects generated a reclassification from a holding in an associated company to holdings in subsidiaries, including full consolidation in the Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position. This change increased the Group's Total Assets by SEK 185 M.

In the first quarter, the Group's equity increased by SEK 179 M, amounting to SEK 2,000 M as at 31 March 2022. Consolidated equity was also impacted by profit in the period of SEK 184 M, by positive exchange rate differences of SEK 10 M, and by positive fair value changes of SEK 3 M in the Visa preference shares, which are recorded in 'Other' total profit. Furthermore, Consolidated Equity was impacted by additional acquisitions of holdings in Catella Asset Management Iberia and Catella Logistique Europe from a non-controlling interest of SEK - I I M to, and via a dividend, to non-controlling interest of SEK 6 M. As of 31 March 2022, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 35% (33% as of 31 December 2021).

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities was SEK-233 M (-102), of which changes in working capital comprised SEK -203 M (-29) in the period.

Cash flow from investing activities was SEK-311 M (-94), and is primarily attributable to additional investments in ongoing property development projects of SEK 388 M and investments in the new logistics project Infrahubs Bollebygd of SEK 21 M. In addition, short-term investments of SEK 92 M were completed with the aim of supporting the subsidiary APAM in a new investment mandate.

The Parent Company recognised income of SEK 10.8 M (3.0) and operating profit/loss was SEK -13.4 M (-15.2). From 2022, Catella AB has taken over some of the service functions from another Group company and will therefore re-invoice other Group companies. The improved operating profit was mainly due to increased invoicing of management fees. The number of employees at the end of the period was 21 (11).

The Parent Company's net financial income/expense totalled SEK -14.6 M (-9.2), of which interest and arrangement fees for bond loans amounted to SEK 15.3 M (18.0). The previous year's net financial income/expense also included profit from derivatives of SEK 8.1 M.

Cash and cash equivalents in Catella's transaction account in the Group's cash pool with a Swedish credit institute are reported as Current receivables with Group companies. On the reporting date, this item totalled SEK 494.2 M (676.3). Employees

At the end of the period, there were 497 (543) employees, expressed as full-time equivalents.

Risks and uncertainties

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 the first quarter, Group Management has identified an increased risk of material and supply shortage which could impact the projects within Principal Investments. The projects are not currently impacted, but we believe there is potential of an increased risk and a risk of delays to the transfer of possession.

Note 2 Summary of Catella's loan portfolios

Loan portfolios

The loan portfolios comprise securitised European loans with primary exposure in housing. The development in the portfolios is closely monitored and remeasurements are continuously performed. The loan portfolio's fair value, and carrying value, was cal-culated on the projected discounted cash flows based on an assessment of when the time call for Lusitano 5 will be exercised and when the clean-up call for Pastor 2 is expected.

* 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.

Method and assumptions for cash flow projections and discount rates

The portfolio is measured according to the fair-value method, according to the definition in IFRS. The valuation used is the "mark-to-model" method, which is based on forecasting cash flow until maturity for each investment on the basis of marketbased credit assumptions.

The discount rates applied

Actual cash flows from the loan portfolio

are set internally and are based on a rolling 5 year investment grade index of European corporate bonds as underlying assets (iTraxx).

Evaluation of the forecast cash flows and assumptions in combination with market pricing of other assets, in order to make potential adjustments to discount rates in addition to index variations, take place quarterly.

In the first quarter, transfer of the loan portfolios to Sweden started and evaluation will going forward be handled by Catella. This change enables a more efficient process with significant cost savings.

Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2021.

Pastor 2

Catella evaluates that a repurchase will take place in the fourth quarter 2025. Catella considers the credit risk 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. When the underlying loan of the portfolio is less than 2% of the original amount, only the worst performing loans will be outstanding and the issuer's costs are likely to

exceed the interest income. At this point in time it is profitable for the issuer to exercise is option. Based on this, the portfolio was impaired by SEK 1.9 M in the first quarter.

Lusitano 5

Catella evaluates that the time call will be exercised in the second quarter of 2022. The assumption is conservative due to this requiring no further cash flows other than the fee of EUR 3.1 M plus the following quarter's cash flow, is received when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued to EUR 3.4 M. This assessment is different to assessments from previous periods due to the assumption previously being that the time call would not be exercised which have resulted in an impairment of Lucitano 5 of SEK 17.3 M (EUR 1.6 M) in the first quarter of 2022.

Note 4 The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value

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 31 March 2022 are stated in the following table.

or future profit progress, financial position or cash flow not defined by or specified in IFRS. In order to assist corporate management and other stakeholders in their analysis of Group progress, Catella presents certain performance measures not defined under IFRS. Corporate management considers that this information facilitates the 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.
