202

Hufvudstaden presents improved earnings for the first half of the year, with gross profit up 8 per cent. This shows that our business concept is successful, even in times of global challenges and market uncertainty. "
Toward the end of the second quarter, activity in the office rental market increased slightly, and we signed leases with Visa in the NK building in Stockholm and Nordea in Kvarteret Johanna in Gothenburg. Our major redevelopment project in Stockholm, The Corner, is attracting interest and intense rental dialogues are ongoing.
In early summer, we started to see a recovery in the retail sector, with increased consumption among consumers, although some retailers are continuing to face profitability challenges. The vacancy rates among our street-level retail premises are low, and we signed leases with New Balance and House of Dagmar, for example, during the second quarter.

Rent revenue from property management amounted to SEK 1,225.9 million (1,147.2) for the period. Operating expenses amounted to SEK -375.6 million (-348.6). Gross profit was SEK 850.3 million (798.6). The increase was attributable primarily to rent indexation, higher gross rents in conjunction with new and renegotiated office leases, as well as nonrecurring payments of approximately SEK 15 million for the early termination of lease contracts for which new leases had already been signed for parts of the floor space.
The sales-based rent supplement is reported in the fourth quarter. The sales-based rent supplement for the preceding year totalled SEK 10.5 million, of which the NK properties accounted for SEK 7.0 million. Apart from the sales-based rent supplement, there are no other material seasonal variations in rents.
The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK 109.8 million (97.9).

1) Including Intra-Group rents.
Other segments comprise NK Retail and other operations. Other operations consist of Cecil Coworking, NK ecommerce and the parking business in Parkaden.
Net revenue for NK Retail amounted to SEK 435.1 million (432.1). Costs were SEK -472.0 million (-473.2). Gross loss for NK Retail amounted to SEK -36.9 million (-41.1). The result remained weak and the work to achieve profitability in the business through process changes is ongoing. The result was also impacted by challenging market conditions. Sales for NK Retail are impacted by seasonal variations, with the first quarter of the year normally being the weakest and the fourth quarter the strongest. The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK -67.6 million (-56.3) as a cost. After the end of the reporting period, an agreement was signed to divest the NK Fine Jewellery & Watches department in Stockholm.
Net revenue for other operations amounted to SEK 72.5 million (71.4). Costs were SEK -83.2 million (-85.4). Gross loss amounted to SEK -10.7 million (-14.0). The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK -42.2 million (-41.6) as a cost.
Unrealised changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK -246.7 million (-994.3).
Unrealised changes in the value of interest-rate derivatives were SEK -26.3 million (-6.2).
Net financial income and expense totalled SEK -167.7 million (-161.0). Interest income was SEK 3.6 million (4.5). Borrowing costs totalled SEK -154.4 million (-153.9). Interest expenses for leasing, primarily ground rents, totalled SEK -16.9 million (-11.6).
The Group's tax for the period was SEK -71.0 million (90.5), of which SEK -62.3 million (-74.5) in current tax and SEK -8.7 million (165.0) in deferred tax. The change in deferred tax was primarily due to the lower negative unrealised changes in the value of the property holdings during the period.
The consolidated net result was SEK 264.3 million (-353.7). The improvement can be attributed primarily to the period's lower negative unrealised changes in the value of the property holdings.
Rent revenue from property management amounted to SEK 607.1 million (574.5) and operating expenses to SEK -187.6 million (-171.1). Gross profit amounted to SEK 419.5 million (403.4). The increase was attributable primarily to rent indexation, higher gross rents in conjunction with new and renegotiated office leases, as well as non-recurring payments of approximately SEK 5 million for the early termination of lease contracts for which new leases had already been signed for parts of the floor space. The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK 54.7 million (48.8).
Net revenue for NK Retail amounted to SEK 224.4 million (220.1). Costs were SEK -233.6 million (-231.3). Gross loss for NK Retail was SEK -9.2 million (-11.2). The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK -33.6 million (-28.0) as a cost.
Net revenue for other operations amounted to SEK 36.8 million (36.0). Costs were SEK -41.4 million (-43.4). Gross loss was SEK -4.6 million (-7.4). The above includes intra-Group rents of SEK -21.1 million (-20.8) as a cost.

Net financial income and expense totalled SEK -86.5 million (-77.6).
Fair value of Hufvudstaden's property holdings is based on an internal valuation. The valuation as per June 30, 2025 amounted to SEK 47,414 million (47,115 at year-end). The increase was attributable to the period's investments, which were somewhat offset by negative unrealised changes in the value of the property holdings. The unrealised decrease in value was due to higher costs for development projects as well as the effect of slightly lower rents for stores.

1) Valuation date June 30, 2025.
To assure the quality of the valuation, external valuations were obtained from three independent valuation companies: Cushman & Wakefield, Forum Fastighetsekonomi, and Newsec Advice. The external valuations as per June 30, 2025 comprised nine properties, equivalent to 33 per cent of the internally assessed fair value. The corresponding proportion at year-end was 39 per cent. The external valuation compa-nies set a fair value of SEK 16.2 billion. Hufvudstaden's internal valuation of the same properties was SEK 15.7 billion. The internal valuations thus concur well with the external valuations.

Rentable floor space as per June 30, 2025 was approximately 390,800 square metres (390,800 at year-end). The total floor space vacancy rate was 14.5 per cent (11.1 at year-end) and the total floor space vacancy rate excluding development projects was 8.7 per cent (6.7 at year-end). The total rental vacancy rate was 10.3 per cent (7.1 at yearend) and the total rental vacancy rate excluding development projects was 6.9 per cent (5.0 at year-end).
The office rental market in Stockholm City was stable during the second quarter of the year. The market was cautious to some extent and letting processes were more protracted, but activity increased slightly at the end of the quarter. The demand was mainly for modern and flexible office premises in prime locations. Vacancy levels were higher than the normal range. In Stockholm's most attractive locations – Bibliotekstan, Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan, and the Hötorget area – market rents for modern offices were estimated at SEK 7,000–10,000 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement. Market demand for retail premises was stable and market rents for retail premises in prime commercial locations were in the range of SEK 11,000– 25,000 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement.
In the central sub-markets of Gothenburg, the demand was mainly for modern and flexible office premises. Vacancies were higher than the normal range and market rents in the most attractive locations were within the range of SEK 3,300–4,200 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement. Rent levels for the most modern and attractive office premises are higher. For retail premises in central commercial locations, market rents were between SEK 3,000–13,000 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement.
The Group's renegotiations for office premises was positive, while renegotiations for retail premises led to lower rent. During the period, a total of 39,100 square metres were renegotiated at an annual rental value of SEK 338 million. On average, the renegotiations results in a rent increase of approximately 3 per cent, compared with indexed rent for 2025.
Planning and preparatory work is taking place for part of the Kåkenhusen 40 property ahead of a major redevelopment of approximately 5,400 square metres of office space. The floor space was emptied in the second quarter of 2025. The project is being marketed as The Corner and the letting process is ongoing, with office spaces that can vary in size from 300 square metres and up. Access can be scheduled to the second quarter of 2026.
A modernisation of approximately 9,800 square metres of office space at Packarhuset 4 at Norrmalmstorg is in its final phase. The tenant Danske Bank will lease the space until 2035. The premises have been adapted while the tenant continued to access the office spaces, and the project has had a strong sustainability focus. Completion will take place in autumn 2025.
A new detailed development plan gained legal force in 2024 for the Orgelpipan 7 property, located near Central Station in Stockholm. The new detailed development plan will allow for an inset two-floor extension. The original character of the building will be maintained and the rentable floor space is expected to increase by approximately 3,000 square metres of office premises. Planning is ongoing and construction is expected to start late 2026 or early 2027.
The extensive redevelopment and expansion project Johanna continues at the Inom Vallgraven 12 block in Gothenburg. Work on the core building is nearing completion and tenant adaptations are ongoing in several premises. The project comprises a total of approximately 31,300 square metres of rentable floor space, of which approximately 10,100 square metres will be added. At mid-year, leases had been signed for approximately 19,200 square metres, of which approximately 15,700 square metres was for offices. Access will take place on a gradual basis from spring 2026.

Hufvudstaden AB (publ) Corp. Reg. No. 556012-8240
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (Half-Year Report) for Hufvudstaden AB (publ) as at June 30, 2025 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Half-Year Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Half-Year Report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Half-Year Report is not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
