Dominion Plaza, Washington D.C. Acquired in 2022.

19.4 percent net operating income growth, like-for-like

Like-for-like growth in net operating income was 19.4 percent.

The main drivers are higher occupancy rate, increasing new lease levels, and completion of capital projects.

like-for-like vacancy rate decreases by 1.5 percentage points

Thanks to the completion of capital projects and purely focusing on property management,

the vacancy rate, like-for-like, decreased with 1.5 percentage points during the last twelve months down to 5.7 percent.

Vacancy rate excluding construction work and sales was 1.1 percent,

like-for-like rental income growth 8.2 percent

The trend with rental income growth continues.

Strong demand for Akelius' apartments coupled with higher occupancy rates and completion of capital projects are main drivers.

Additionally, the in-place rent, like-for-like, increased by 7.5 percent during the last twelve months.

capitalization rates start to stabilize

Capitalization rates went from 4.74 to 4.77 percent.

The negative value growth during 2024 was EUR 16 million, or 0.3 percent.

stronger financial position

Akelius repaid a EUR 500 million bond in March.

Funds to repay the bond came mainly from the financial guarantee from the main owner. Loan-to-value decreased during the quarter to 34 percent.

This is below the financial policy threshold of 35 percent.

With the reduced debt portfolio and the financial guarantee from the main owner, Akelius has strengthened its financial position.

Akelius has no upcoming bond redemptions until November 2024, when SEK 854 million bonds mature.

improving the properties

Akelius continues with further improvements of the portfolio.

Finishing large capital projects and reducing vacancies continue to pay off.

The results are strong rental income and net operating income growth.

Akelius monitors the property markets closely and is selective with transactions.

other information

basis of presentation

The Akelius Residential Property Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The financial statements of the Parent Company, Akelius Residential Property AB (publ), corporate identity number 556156-0383,

risks and uncertainties

The Group is impacted by various types of risks.

Operational risks are limited by concentrating the property portfolio to residential properties in metropolitan areas. Strong residential rental markets in Akelius' cities reduce the risk of long-term vacancies on aggregated level.

To reduce risk or variations in cash flow further, interest rates are secured on a longterm basis.

Access to capital from a large number of banks, through the capital market, and the financial guarantee from Akelius Apartments Ltd mitigates the refinancing risk.

Akelius' currency risk is mitigated by interest-bearing debt in the same currencies as the properties that Akelius holds or intends to hold.

Akelius also uses derivatives to obtain a desired currency position.

The Group is impacted by external risks, for example, new rent regulations, climate risks, pandemics, and war.

These risk areas can impact the business negatively both in the long- and short-term.
