Catella will be presenting the Year-End Report and answering questions in a teleconference today 21 February 2020 at 9 a.m. CET. The presentation will be in English and will be made by Catella's CEO and President Knut Pedersen and CFO Marcus Holmstrand. To participate in the teleconference, go to www.catella.com or call +46 (0)8 505 58 352.
Total income increased by SEK 63 M in the fourth quarter year-on-year, driven by Property Investment Management and principal investments. Operating profit/loss was SEK 122 M in the quarter, corresponding to an increase of 102% year-on-year, attributable to Property Investment Management and Corporate Finance.
Assets under management in Property Investment Management continued to increase sharply, with mainly organic growth derived from new units and products, in line with our strategy.
Assets under management increased by SEK18.3 Bn for the full year 2019, which drove the increase in fixed earnings of just over 30%, adjusted for acquisitions. Total income increased by SEK 72 M to SEK 246 M in the quarter, and operating profit/loss increased by SEK 19 M to SEK 24 M year-on-year.
The full-year figures were burdened by start-up costs of some SEK 20 M from the two French Property Asset Management operations focusing on logistics and hotel properties. Despite continued costs from future growth measures, full-year profit increased by SEK 36 M in the business area. Earlier initiatives are starting to reach critical mass in terms of assets under management, which means that income and profit is generated by more operations.
Property Funds launched a number of new funds in the year, of which two from the Luxembourg platform. The regulatory framework in Luxembourg is internationally accepted amongst investors, which enables a broader geographical investor base. Demand for our products remains high, from institutional investors seeking property exposure via separate mandates and fund structures like those in Luxembourg. Catella is well positioned for continued growth in assets under management in existing products, while the organisation also has the competences and drive to create new products that meet investor needs.
The business area's assets under management decreased by SEK 13.0 Bn in the quarter, of which SEK 9.8 Bn relates to the termination of Systematic Equity, which has now been wound up. Systematic Macro underperformed in the year, implying outflows of some SK 4 Bn in the fourth quarter. The product remains highly relevant to investors wishing to diversify their portfolios with low correlation.
Mutual Funds closed the year with a positive performance result for fixed-income funds, and Catella Hedge Fund recovered back to levels where performance-based
fees can be charged, although full-year profit fell below expectation. Several of the funds have underperformed, which affects flows and assets under management.
The annualized profit from fixed earnings/fixed expenses in the business area totalled SEK 204 M at the end of the quarter, a decrease of SEK 123 M year-on-year. The decrease in assets under management in Systematic Funds implied lower fixed earnings while fixed costs simultaneously increased.
In 2019, the property transaction market in Europe, excluding the UK, was in line with the previous five years, corresponding to relatively high levels from a historical perspective.
Continental Europe reported a strong quarter, with increased earnings after assignment costs driven mainly by Germany, followed by France. Catella has a very strong position in France, whereas the market position in Germany remains unsatisfactory despite increased earnings.
In the Nordics, income and profit increased in Denmark and Finland while Sweden, which has the largest operations, reported decreased income and profit year-on-year. Catella's market position in the Nordics is very strong despite intensified international competition.
Operating profit/loss was SEK 49 M in the fourth quarter, an increase of SEK 19 M year-on-year.
The migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank has proceeded as planned and is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020. In the fourth quarter, a further SEK 56 M of the additional purchase consideration was recognized as revenue, implying that SEK 104 M was recognized in 2019.
After the migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank has been completed, the banking license will be divested or alternatively Catella Bank will file an application with the financial supervisory authority CSSF requesting that the license be revoked. The latter alternative would imply that the Bank enters liquidation once the license has been revoked by CSSF. The final cost of the closure of the banking operations is difficult to gauge, although the costs are likely to be higher than anticipated. The timing of dissolving the consolidated financial situation is determined by the aforementioned alternatives.
To summarize, Catella is ending 2019 on a strong note. Our advisory operations are well positioned and Property Investment Management is growing sharply. Collaborations between and within business areas continue to contribute to growth. Over the past two years, these collaborations have resulted in Catella investing some SEK 16 Bn via our property funds into the Property Asset Management operations. Market activity remains high and Catella is well positioned for continued profitable growth.

*Catella has four business areas (operating segments under IFRS 8), of which Banking is reported as a disposal group held for sale (see Note 8), which are aggregated into two reportable segments that Catella terms Operating Segments. IFRS 8 permits that two or more operating segments may be aggregated to one, providing that they have similar accounting characteristics, and are also similar in terms of the character of products and services, the nature of production process, customer categories, distribution, and the extent to which operations, where applicable, are affected by various regulatory structures and risks. On this basis, Catella has defined Corporate Finance (consisting of the Corporate Finance operating segment) and Asset Management (consisting of the combined Property Investment Management, Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds, and Banking operating segments), as the Group's reportable segments.
Amounts are in SEK M unless otherwise indicated. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.
As previously communicated, the Banking business area is being wound down and has been reported as a disposal group held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 from 30 September 2018. This means that in the Consolidated Income Statement Banking's net profit (after tax) is reported on a separate line under profit from disposal group held for sale for the period. See Note 8 for more information on the disposal group held for sale.
Comparative figures for previous years for the Banking business area have been reported in a corresponding manner in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The Group's total income for remaining operations was SEK 761 M (698) and net sales for remaining operations totalled SEK 722 M (686), of which SEK 286 M (299) related to Corporate Finance and SEK 438 M (390) to Asset Management. Variable earnings increased year-on-year, fixed earnings were in-line with the previous year. Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 9-11.
The Group's operating profit for remaining operations was SEK 122 M (60). The profit improvement is mainly due to increased variable earnings and increased profit recognition from property development projects, but also to lower assignment costs in the French Corporate Finance operations.
The Group's net financial income and expense was SEK -8 M (1) and includes unrealized value changes in Group security holdings and investments totalling SEK 10 M, and realized profit on currency forwards of SEK 5 M. Interest income in the period was negative at SEK -3 M (5), partly as a result of revised assumptions for reporting accrued income from the Lusitano 5 loan portfolio, and partly as a result of
reclassification of the Consolidated Income Statement. In addition, net financial income/expense included interest expenses of SEK 13 M (8), of which SEK 8 M (7) were attributable to Catella's bond issue and SEK 4 M (0) related to interest expenses on the company's lease commitments (IFRS 16) which Catella reports from 1 January 2019.
The Group's profit before tax for remaining operations was SEK 113 M (62).
Profit for the period (after tax) from disposal group held for sale was SEK -7 M (-142) and related to the Banking business area. Profit for the period included SEK 56 M of the expected additional purchase consideration from Advanzia Bank, additional purchase consideration of SEK 4 M related to the disposal of the Wealth Management operations in Sweden to Söderberg & Partners in the first quarter 2019 and deferred tax of SEK 31 M.
Profit for the period for the Group's total operations was SEK 65 M (-119), of which SEK 47 M (-133) was attributable to parent company shareholders. This corresponds to Earnings per share of SEK 0.55 (-1.58).
Total income was SEK 2,420 M (2,216), and the Group's net sales were SEK 2,353 M (2,159). Operating profit for remaining operations was SEK 422 M (352).
The Group's net financial income and expense was SEK -138 M (-15), of which interest income was SEK 13 M (18) and interest expenses SEK 49 M (27). The valuation of long-term securities holdings and short-term investments at fair value resulted in a value adjustment of SEK -86 M (7), which primarily related to the loan portfolios Lusitano 3 and Lusitano 5. Discontinued currency forwards, aimed at reducing currency exposure, realised a profit of SEK -10 M (-14).
Profit (after tax) from disposal group held for sale was SEK 45 M (-238) for the full year. Profit includes income totalling SEK 367 M from transfers of the bank's
Wealth Management operations in Luxembourg and in Sweden to VP Bank and Söderberg & Partners and from the transfer of the card issuing operations in Luxembourg to Advanzia Bank. The total income includes SEK 104 M estimated generated variable sales price from Advanzia Bank. Profit also includes deferred tax expenses of SEK 53 M.
Profit for the period for the Group's total operations was SEK 193 M (-28), of which SEK 113 M (-112) was attributable to parent company shareholders. This corresponds to Earnings per share of SEK 1.31 (-1.33).
Through associated company Nordic Seeding GmbH, Catella AB (publ) has signed an agreement with German Property developer CG Gruppe AG regarding the divestment of the property development project Grand Central in Düsseldorf, Germany. The transaction will have a positive effect on profit after tax of some SEK 170 M, of which SEK 15 M was recognised in the fourth quarter 2019 and the remaining amount is expected to be recognised in the first quarter 2020.
Catella AB's investment was implemented through associated companies Nordic Seeding GmbH and Grand Central Beteiligungs GmbH. The project was developed and managed by Catella's German sister company Catella Project management GmbH.
In November, Knut Pedersen announced his resignation as CEO of Catella. He will be leaving his position in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting 2020.
In December, Marcus Holmstrand announced his resignation as CFO of Catella following a notice period of six months.
There were no significant events after the end of the quarter.

M (30) in the quarter. Total income, adjusted for assignment costs, increased by SEK 20 M and operating profit increased by SEK 20 M year-on-year.

The Nordics delivered a weaker quarter in year-on-year terms, where Sweden was responsible for the majority of the reduction in Income and
profit. In continental Europe, Germany in particular increased operating profit in year-on-year terms.

In the fourth quarter, the Group's total assets increased by SEK 145 M, amounting to SEK 4,057 M as of 31 December 2019. Accounts receivable, Cash and cash equivalent and future development properties and project properties are the balance sheet items that increased most significantly. As previously communicated, the holding in the property development project Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS, was re-classified from holding in associated company to shares in subsidiary, with full consolidation of Kaktus' income statement and balance sheet from 30 September 2019.
Catella carried out impairment tests on assets with indefinite useful lives. Catella's assets with indefinite useful lives consist of goodwill and brands. The impairment test is calculated on estimated future cash flows based on budgets approved by management and the Board of Directors. The impairment tests indicated a need for goodwill impairment of SEK 2 M attributable to Catella Asia. In addition, other acquisition-related intangible asset such as distribution channels and customer contracts attributable to Catella Asia and the Property Investment Management business area, have been impaired by SEK 5 M. Impairment totalling SEK 7 m was reported as depreciation in the Consolidated Income Statement in the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter 2019, a final valuation of the net assets of subsidiary APAM Ltd was completed. The subsidiary was acquired in December 2018. The analysis implied an adjustment of goodwill, which increased by just under SEK 4 M to SEK 174 M.
According to IAS 12, "Income Taxes", deferred tax assets relating to tax loss carry- forwards are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available. In accordance with this standard, Catella recognized a deferred tax asset of SEK 78 M (SEK 81 M as of 31 December 2018), of which the majority consists of tax loss carry-forwards, which is based on an assessment of the Group's future earnings. The Group had total loss
carry-forwards amounting to SEK some 1,048 M.
Catella has issued a total of SEK 750 M in unsecured bonds which accrue variable interest of 3-month STIBOR plus 400 b.p. The loan matures in June 2022.
The Group also has an overdraft facility of SEK 30 M, of which SEK 30 M was unutilized as of as of 31 December 2019.
In the fourth quarter, the Group's consolidated equity increased by SEK 55 M, amounting to SEK 1,736 M as of 31 December 2019. Consolidated equity was also driven by profit in the period of SEK 65 Bn, negative exchange rate differences of SEK 19 M, and by positive fair value changes in financial assets, recorded in 'Other' total profit of SEK 3 M. In addition, Equity in the fourth quarter was affected by transactions with holding of non-controlling interests of SEK 5 M, of which SEK -7 M related to dividend and SEK 12 M to share of profit for the period. As of 31 December 2019, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 43% (24% as of 31 December 2018).

For the financial year 2018, Catella paid a dividend of SEK 1.20 per Class A and B share to shareholders.
Catella is affected by progress on the financial markets. The Corporate Finance operation is affected by the market's willingness to execute transactions, which in turn, is determined by the macroeconomic environment and the availability of debt finance.
Asset Management is affected by market progress on Nordic stock exchanges and progress on the property market. There are especially significant operating risks in the banking operations, where there are significant volumes/transactions using realtime systems that require 24-hour availability. At a pace with the wind down of the banking operations in 2019, the operational risk has decrease.
A number of companies in the Catella Group conduct operations that are under the supervision of regulatory financial authorities in their respective domestic markets. Existing regulatory frameworks and rapid regulatory changes are complex in general, and specifically with regard to Catella's banking operations. These regulatory framework place stringent, and in future even more stringent, demands on the routines and procedures, and liquidity and capital reserves, of the operations under supervision. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks is a pre-condition for conducting operations subject to supervision. Catella continuously seeks to ensure compliance with existing regulatory frameworks and to prepare for future compliance with coming regulatory changes. At a pace with the wind down of the banking operations in 2019, the regulatory risk has decreased.
The preparation of financial statements requires the Board of Directors and Group management to make estimates and judgements of the value of loan portfolios, goodwill, trademarks and brands, as well as assumptions concerning revenue recognition. Estimates and judgements affect the Group's Income Statement and financial position, as well as disclosures regarding contingent liabilities, for example. See Note 4 in the Annual Report 2018 for significant estimates and judgements. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgements, due to other circumstances or conditions.
Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany through associated companies Nordic Seeding GmbH and Grand Central Beteiligungs GmbH. The projects are operated by Catella's German subsidiary Catella Project Management GmbH. Through the associated companies, Catella intends to invest in the early phases of projects where the concept and framework is determined subsequently divesting projects and realizing capital gains before construction begins and projects are completed. The investments include the risk that associated companies are forced to choose between continuing to invest in late stages of projects, run the projects to completion or leaving the project and losing the invested capital. The aforementioned risks apply to all property development projects that Catella invests in (see Note 3).
Within the Corporate Finance operating segment, seasonal variations are significant. This means that sales and results of operations vary during the year. In Corporate Finance, transaction volumes are usually highest in the fourth quarter, followed by the second quarter, the third quarter and finally the first quarter.
This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the EU, the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Complementary Accounting Rules for Groups issued by RFR, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
The Parent Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, issued by RFR, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
In October - December 2018, Catella Bank signed agreements regarding the sale of all its operations through the transfer of assets and liabilities to three different market operators. From 30 September 2018, the Banking business area has been reported in accordance with IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. This means that in the Consolidated Income Statement the bank's net profit (after tax) is reported on a separate line under Profit from disposal group held for sale for the period. The comparative figures in the Income Statement for the current and previous year have been adjusted as if the banking operations had never formed part of the Group's operations. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the bank's assets and liabilities are reported separately from other assets and liabilities on separate lines under Assets in divestment group held for sale and Liabilities in divestment group held for sale respectively. However, comparative figures from earlier years relating to the Bank's assets and liabilities have not been reclassified in this way.
The information provided in Note 9 regarding the consolidated situation, relating to parts of Catella's operations, has been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies and the Annual Accounts for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies Act.
IFRS 16 "Leases" was published in January 2016 and applies from 1 January 2019. The implementation of the standard implies that virtually all lease contracts are reported in the Balance Sheet. The standard does not distinguish between operating and financial lease contracts. An asset (the right to use a leased asset) and a financial liability corresponding to the company's commitment to pay lease charges must be reported for virtually all lease commitments. One exception exists for short contracts and contracts of minor value. Catella mainly has leasing contracts for office premises and cars. Catella applies the simplified standard, and does not restate comparative figures. Accordingly, Catella reports two new items in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position: Contractual Assets and Contractual Liabilities, which totalled SEK 183 M (190) respectively as of 31 December 2019. The Consolidated Income Statement includes amortisation and depreciation of Contractual assets of SEK 60 M for the full year
2019, and interest expenses on Contractual liabilities of SEK 14 M. Rental costs are no longer included in the Consolidated Income Statement. The new accounting standard also affects Group KPIs. The equity/asset ratio for remaining operations decreased by some 2% as of 31 December 2019. Operating margin and profit margin for remaining operations were only marginally impacted in the full year 2019.
The Group's and Parent Company's key accounting principles are presented in Catella's Annual Report for 2018. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.
Catella holds shares in associated companies Nordic Seeding GmbH and Grand Central Beteiligungs GmbH, whose other owners are the Claesson & Anderzén group and the management of Catella Project Management GmbH. Catella's total net investment in both companies amounted to SEK 89 M as of 31 December 2019. The remaining investment commitment in Nordic Seeding GmbH and Grand Central Beteiligungs GmbH amount to SEK 5 M. For more information, see Note 3 of this report and Notes 20 and 39 in the Annual Report 2018.
Catella's German subsidiary Catella Project Management GmbH (CPM) operated the property development projects within associated Nordic Seeding GmbH and Grand Central Beteiligungs GmbH. Furthermore, Catella's French subsidiary Catella Logistic Europe SAS (CLE) operates property development projects through a number of associated companies. No part of the fees levied for services rendered that CPM and CLE invoice associated companies have been eliminated in Catella's Consolidated Income Statement as associated companies fall outside Catella's associated enterprises.

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 31 December 2019 and the twelve-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.

From an international perspective, it is important that, in specific circumstances, Catella is able to carry out investments alongside its customers in order to attract capital for the projects and products Catella is working with. Over the coming years, Catella intends to set aside capital for these investments, which are primarily in the property sphere.
Catella perceives significant potential in various projects and dedicated property products where Catella's active participation will contribute to growth and credibility in addition to generating positive
returns. The goal is for investments to generate minimum returns (IRR) of 20% over time.
Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany and Denmark (for description of the projects, see below). The investments are made through subsidiaries and associated companies. The projects are run by Catella's German and Danish subsidiaries. Catella intends to invest in the early phases of projects where the concept and framework is determined with the aim to subsequently divest projects and realizing capital gains before construction begins and projects are completed.
In order to structure its principal investment and support new property products, Catella has established an investment committee whose task is to evaluate the respective investments or divestments of assets.
For more information about Catella's principal investments under the 'Other' category, classified in the same way as the Group's financial position; Holdings in associated companies, Other non-current securities, future development properties and project properties and Current investments.

* The investments include the risk that Catella is forced to choose between continuing to invest in late stages of projects, run the projects to completion or leaving the project and losing the invested capital.
Catella's principal investments are reported under the 'Other' category in the Consolidated Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position, see Notes 1 and 2. As of 31 December 2019, the principal investments totalled SEK 603 M, an increase of SEK 57 M on the previous quarter. The increase is mainly attributable to additional investments in the property development project Kaktus, and to revenue recognition of a proportion of the property development project Grand Central.
Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, in the finalized project, of EUR 500 M located adjacent to central Station in Düsseldorf. The project consists of 1,000 apartments on a land area totalling 40,000 m². The project started in 2015 and Catella has held planning approval to construct buildings on the land from the outset.
As of October 2019, Catella has entered an agreement relating to divestment of the project. The transaction is expected to have a positive effect on profit after tax of some SEK 155 M in the first quarter of 2020.
Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, in the finalized project, of EUR 700 M located adjacent to the central station in Mönchengladbach. The project consists of 1,500-2,000 apartments on a land area totalling 140,000 m². The project started in 2017 and Catella acquired the first land parcel in 2019. Catella is working on producing blueprints for the site and finalising an urbanisation agreement.
Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, in the finalized project, of EUR 250 M located in a suburb of Düsseldorf. The project consists of 800 apartments on a land area totalling 75,000 m². The project started in 2018 and Catella acquired the
first land parcel in 2018. Catella is working on producing blueprints for the site and finalising an urbanisation agreement.
Student housing development project with a total expected transaction volume, in the finalized project, of EUR 130 M located in central Copenhagen, the project consists of 495 apartments on a land area totalling 25,000 m². The blueprint was approved in 2017 and planning approval obtained in 2019.
As previously communicated, for the Kaktus project, Catella has decided to initiate the construction phase and complete the project in order to realize the maximum potential for Catella's shareholders. Catella's ambition is still to divest the project as soon as this is commercially advantageous. The decision implies an increased investment commitment from Catella and has implied a re-classification of the holding in the property development company Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS from a holding in an associated company to shares in a subsidiary with full consolidation of Kaktus's Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The
change means that a new Balance sheet item, Properties held for development and project properties, has been included in the Group's financial position from 30 September 2019 onwards.
The loan portfolios comprise securitised European loans with primary exposure in housing. The performance of the loan portfolios is closely monitored and revaluations are made on a continuous basis. Forecasts are conducted by the French investment advisor Cartesia S.A.S. The book value in Catella's Consolidated Accounts is determined based on the projected discounted cash flows mainly comprising interest payments but also amortisation.
A summary of Catella's loan portfolio as well as actual and forecast cash flows are presented in the relevant Note below.

* The forecast was produced by investment advisor Cartesia S.A.S.
** These investments were assigned a value of SEK 0.
*** The discount rate recognised in the line "Total cash flow" is the weighted average interest of the total discounted cash flow.
The cash flow for each loan portfolio is presented in the table on the next page and the discount rates by portfolio are stated above. More information about the loan portfolio can be found on the following page and in Catella's annual report 2018.
The portfolio is measured according to the fair-value method, according to the definition in IFRS. In the absence of a functioning and sufficiently liquid market for essentially all investments, as well as for comparable subordinated investments, the measurement is performed by using the 'mark-tomodel' approach. This approach is based on forecasting cash flow until maturity for each investment on the basis of marketbased credit assumptions. Projected cash flows have been produced by external investment advisor Cartesia. The credit assumptions produced by Cartesia are based on historical performance of the individual investments and a broad selection of comparable transactions. In the projected cash flows, an assumption is made of the potential weakening of the credit variables. These do not include the full effect of a scenario, with low probability and high potential negative impact, such as the dissolution of the Eurozone, where one of the
countries in which EETI has its underlying investments, leaves the European monetary union or similar scenarios. Adjustments of cash flows impact the value and are presented in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.
The discount rates applied are set internally and are based on a rolling 24-month index of non-investment grade European corporate bonds as underlying assets (iTraxx). The discount rates per portfolio were also determined relative to other assets in the absence of market prices for the assets held by EETI. Each quarter, the Board of EETI evaluates 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. Adjustments to discount rates affect this value and are stated in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.
Most of the investments consist of holdings in and/or financial exposure to securities that are subordinate in terms of payment and are ranked lower than securities that are secured or represent ownership of the same asset class. Some investments also include structural features by which more
highly ranked securities that are secured or represented by owner ship of the same asset class are prioritized in instances of default or if the loss exceeds predetermined levels. This could lead to interruptions in Catella's expected revenue flow from its investment portfolio. For more information, see Note 23 in the Annual Report for 2018.
A clean-up call affects all sub-portfolios and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the sub-portfolio when the outstanding loans have been repaid and are less than 10% of the issued amount. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below 10% of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. The design also means that the investor avoids ending up with small, long-term cash flows until the portfolio has been repaid.
The time call affects the sub-portfolios Lusitano 3 and 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 forecast was produced by investment advisor Cartesia S.A.S.
** Shield was divested in Q4 2011, Memphis in Q2 2012 and Semper in Q2 2013. Gems was re-purchased in Q1 2016 by the issuer. Ludgate and Minotaure were divested Q1 2018.
According to the earlier forecast, the issuer would exercise its clean-up call in the third quarter 2019, which has not occurred. As of the third quarter 2019, the value of the underlying loan falls below 10% implying that Catella judges that a repurchase will take place no later than the third quarter 2020.
In the third quarter 2019, the issuer exercised its time call option to repurchase Lusitano 3, implying impairment losses of some SEK 51 M. Catella was repaid the nominal value in the fourth quarter 2019 and the previously forecast cash flows will not materialize.
The forecast cash flows for the sub-portfolio Lusitano 5, assume that the issuer will not utilise its time call. However, the discount rate has been increased to reflect the probability that the issuer will exercise its option to repurchase Lusitano 5 at the nominal value of some EUR 3.3 M. This probability is expected to increase in the second quarter 2021, and in the event that the issuer exercises the option, this would imply impairment of the value of some EUR 2 M.
Catella continuously monitors the issuing bank in order to evaluate the probability of the option being exercised.

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 2018.

The Banking business area is reported as a disposal group held for sale in the Consolidated Income Statement. Comparative figures from previous years have been reported in a corresponding manner. The condensed Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position for the Banking business area presented below excludes eliminations between Banking and the business area Corporate Finance and Asset Management.
In the first quarter 2019, Catella Bank divested its Wealth Management operations in Sweden and Luxembourg and its card issuing operations. The migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank continues and is expected to be completed in the beginning of 2020.
Total income was SEK -6 M (77), and profit/loss for the period was SEK -7 M (- 150).
Profit/loss for the period includes SEK 55 M of the anticipated additional purchase consideration from Advanzia Bank net of commission costs, which implies that SEK 104 M was recognized as revenue in 2019. This also includes an additional purchase consideration of SEK 4 M related to the divestment of the Wealth Management operations in Sweden to Söderberg & Partners. Profit for the period was also burdened by liquidation costs relating to the Bank's Swedish branch totalling SEK 6 M and deferred tax expenses of SEK 31 M.
The migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank has proceeded according to
plan and is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020.
After the migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank has been completed, the banking license will be divested, or alternatively Catella will file an application requesting that the license be revoked to the financial supervisory authority CSSF. The option of revoking the license would imply that the bank enters liquidation once it has been revoked. The final cost of winding down the banking operations is likely to be higher than anticipated. The timing of dissolving the consolidated financial situation will be determined by the aforementioned alternatives.

Catella AB has issued a guarantee to a credit institute of SEK 335.2 M as security for approved credit lines to subsidiary Kaktus 1 HoldCo ApS.
The Consolidated Accounts of Catella are prepared in accordance with IFRS. See above for more information regarding accounting principles. IFRS defines only a limited number of performance measures. From the second quarter 2016, Catella applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) new guidelines for alternative performance measures. In summary, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future Definitions
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. The calculation of all performance measures corresponds to items in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
