Share buybacks instead of dividends – simple mathematics
Back to Basics
Our mandate is clear: to improve profitability. Castellum aims to deliver a 10 per cent return on equity over a full economic cycle. This requires removing what is non-essential and focusing on what drives value. Cost control, reducing vacancies, divesting non‑core assets, and enhancing the properties we retain. Back to basics.
SEK 40 million in one‑off costs for reducing the organisation
At the end of 2025, we reviewed an organisation that had become somewhat oversized. Unfortunately, around thirty employees had to leave the company, and we also reduced the size of the management team. A difficult decision, but necessary in more challenging market conditions. The associated cost in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 40 million, and we estimate annual savings of approximately the same magnitude.
SEK 30 million in one‑off costs for increased freedom to adjust the portfolio
Portfolio transformation is essential to improve profitability. To act on opportunities and buy or sell assets at the right time, we required increased flexibility within our bond agreements. Through amendments to these terms, we have created the room needed to actively reshape the portfolio. The one‑off cost recognised in the fourth quarter was SEK 30 million.
Property values down SEK 2.5 billion
The value of our property portfolio declined by SEK 2.5 billion in 2025, of which SEK 1 billion in the final quarter. The decrease is primarily driven by revised expectations for future cash flows, mainly rental levels and vacancy assumptions. In the fourth quarter alone, values in Kista decreased by SEK 0.5 billion and in Finland by SEK 0.2 billion.
Our Kista portfolio is now valued at SEK 2.9 billion, corresponding to SEK 22,000 per square metre, with a vacancy rate of 23 per cent. In Finland, the portfolio is valued at SEK 26,000 per square metre, with a total vacancy rate of 18 per cent.
Net lettings of minus SEK 140 million
Net lettings for the year amounted to minus SEK 140 million. However, the fourth quarter recorded a positive SEK 26 million. Has the trend shifted? We hope so.
Regardless, our operational focus remains clear: leasing, leasing, and leasing.
Castellum Business School
In January, we launched Castellum Business School. All employees are given access to relevant training, and nearly one‑third — 150 people — will also participate in Castellum's internal MBA programme, including courses in financial analysis, project management, leasing, leadership, media, and presentation skills. The aim is to strengthen Castellum across all areas, from operations to project development.
Share buybacks instead of dividends – simple mathematics
Last fall, the Board revised the dividend policy to a broader capital distribution policy. At least 25 per cent of income from property management is to be returned to shareholders, either through dividends or share buybacks. The amount for this year is approximately SEK 1.2 billion, and the Board proposes buybacks. The rationale is straightforward: buybacks deliver higher value than dividends given the current discount on the share.

Performance analysis
Comparisons shown in brackets are made with the corresponding period in the previous year except in sections describing assets and liabilities, where comparisons are made with the end of the previous year.
Income
Income totalled SEK 9,593 M (9,849) where completed property sales meant lower income of SEK 124 M. In the like-for-like portfolio, rental income increased SEK 26 M, corresponding to 0.3 per cent.
The lease agreements with Northvolt's bankruptcy estate were terminated in Q4, which generated recognised non-recurring income of SEK 58 million pertaining to the reversal of accrued annuities. Excluding this non-recurring item, income in the like-for-like portfolio decreased by SEK 32 million as a result of a greater increase in vacancies than in the index contribution.
Furthermore, a part of the change in income is attributable to the divestment of United Spaces and other income of SEK 65 M related to insurance compensation during the preceding year.
The economic occupancy rate was 89.8 per cent (91.5). The decrease in the occupancy rate is attributable to the underlying rising vacancy of 1.3 percentage points, as well as the effects of a general 0.4-percentage point adjustment of vacancy rents.

Costs
Direct property costs totalled SEK 2,332 M (2,322). Costs in the likefor-like portfolio increased SEK 58 M, corresponding to 2.7 per cent, excluding currency effects. The cost increase in the like-for-like portfolio is attributable primarily to higher costs for maintenance, which increased SEK 44 M, of which expensed projects amounted to SEK 25 M. In addition, the costs for rental losses increased from SEK 25 million in the previous year to SEK 42 million for the year.
Property administration for the year amounted to SEK 583 M (552), corresponding to SEK 113 per square metre (108) and central administration costs totalled SEK 264 M (241). All together, property administration and central administration costs increased SEK 54 M, of which SEK 40 M pertained to non-recurring restructuring reserves aimed at streamlining the head office. Furthermore, costs related to coworking decreased due to the divestment of United Spaces.

Income from associated companies and joint ventures
Income from associated companies and joint ventures consists of Castellum's share of Entra ASA's and Halvorsäng Fastighets AB's earnings. Castellum's share of the associated companies' and joint ventures' income from property management is included in the line item "of which income from property management".
As of the balance sheet date, impairment was reversed owing to higher net reinstatement value for Entra. The exchange-rate impact on the Entra holding is recognised in other comprehensive income. For further information on Entra and Halvorsäng, refer to page 9.

Net financial items
Net financial items totalled SEK –2,153 M (–2,155). The outcome was largely unchanged compared to the previous year. Lower interest expenses, driven by renegotiations resulting in reduced margins and a decline in underlying market rates, were offset by matured interest rate derivatives with low fixed rates, rising costs for short-term currency hedging, and one-off expenses related to the consent solicitation for amended terms under the EMTN programme.
The average closing interest rate for the loan portfolio, including interest-rate and currency hedging with long maturities, was 3.1 per cent (3.2) on the balance sheet date. The average interest rate provides a snapshot of the latest fixed-interest rate term for the derivative and loan portfolios on the balance sheet date and excludes certain items in net financial items such as the accrual of borrowing overheads, other financial costs, currency hedging with short maturities and, in some cases, currency effects.
During the quarter, non-recurring costs of SEK 27 M were recognised, attributable to conducting consent solicitations in relation to bondholders as part of the company's EMTN programme. Moreover, non-recurring costs of SEK 16 M related to refinancing and early redemption of loans and bonds were expensed in the quarter.

| Total net financial items | −2,153 | −2,155 |
Income from property management
Income from property management totalled SEK 4,606 M (4,819), corresponding to SEK 9.36 per share (9.78). The decrease in income from property management is related primarily to rising vacancy rates, non-recurring remuneration in the preceding year and restructuring reserves attributable to streamlining the head office. The decrease is partly offset by the termination of the lease agreements with Northvolt's bankruptcy estate, which has generated a recognized one‑off income of SEK 58 M.
Castellum's participations in the associated company Entra and the joint venture Halvorsäng added SEK 499 M (429) to income from property management.
Changes in value
Properties
During the year, Castellum's unrealised changes in property value totalled SEK -2,448 M (-1,528), driven primarily by cash flow-related changes. The average exit yield for Castellum's portfolio was 5.64 per cent at the end of the year,
1 basis point higher compared to the same point in time in the preceding year. During the year, 62 per cent of the property value was externally valued. The external valuations are on par with the internal valuations, confirming Castellum's assessed market value. Castellum's completed property sales during the year resulted in a realised change in value of SEK −2 M (−99), with SEK −24 M pertaining to sales and SEK 22 M pertaining to the reversal of accumulated exchange-rate effects recognised in Other comprehensive income.
Net sale price amounted to SEK 911 M after deduction for deferred tax and transaction costs of SEK −37 M. The total underlying property value in the sales was thus SEK 948 M, a difference of SEK 13 M compared with the latest valuation of SEK 935 M.

Goodwill
Changes in goodwill totalled SEK −141 M (−188), of which SEK −24 M (−82) was attributable to divestments, and SEK −117 M (−106) was attributable to negative value trends on properties.
Derivatives
Castellum holds both interest rate and currency derivatives. In profit for the year, the derivatives generated a change in value of SEK −945 M (451), which includes realised changes in value of SEK 346 M (–357) and unrealised changes in value SEK –1,291 M (808).
These changes in value are attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period. Changes in value resulting from hedging relationships totalled SEK 204 M (126) and are reported in other comprehensive income.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Tax
Total tax for the year amounted to SEK −396 M (−404), of which SEK −257 M (−172) pertained to current tax. Applying the nominal tax rate to income before tax, the total theoretical tax is SEK −275 M. The difference of SEK –121 M is due primarily to non-deductible interest.
The remaining tax loss carry forwards, estimated at SEK 351 M (588), are restricted for use in parts of the Group.

1. Calculated solely based on the area attributable to investment properties
The difference between the net operating income of SEK 6,593 M reported above and the net operating income of SEK 6,524 M in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income was attributable to the deduction of the net operating income of SEK 10 M in properties divested during the period, and the SEK 56 M upward adjustment of the net operating income on properties acquired/completed during the year as if they had been owned or been completed for the entire period. Remaining SEK –23 M is net operating income related to coworking.

Tenants
Castellum's exposure to individual tenants is extremely low, with a lease portfolio that has a large spread across many different tenants, customer sizes and industries. This spreads the risk for rent losses and vacancies. The Group has approximately 7,400 commercial leases and 450 residential leases, and their distribution in terms of size is presented in the table below.
The single largest lease accounts for 1.0 per cent of the Group's total rental income, while the corresponding figure for the single largest customer is 2.8 per cent. As at 31 December 2025, the remaining average length of contract was 3.6 years (3.6).

Net leasing
During the year, Castellum signed leases with an annual rental value of SEK 712 M (609). Notices of termination amounted to SEK –852 M (–596), of which SEK –114 M (–39) were bankruptcies and SEK –54 M (–33) were notices of termination with more than 18 months left of contract. Net leasing for the year thus totalled SEK –140 M (13). The time difference between reported net leasing and the income effect thereof is estimated to be between 6–15 months in investment properties and 12–24 months for development properties. Normally, the impact of reported bankruptcies on earnings is immediate.
Annual rent corresponding to SEK 279 M (452) was renegotiated during the period, with an average change in rent of –0.1 per cent (–1.0). Leases valued at SEK 1,592 M (1,706) were extended with no changes to terms.

Financing
Access to external capital is deemed to be very good, and margins in both capital markets and banks are at historically low levels. The proportion of interest-bearing liabilities hedged (more than 1 year) on the balance sheet date was 68 per cent (70). The floating rate portion comprises primarily exposure to Stibor 3m.
Average Stibor 3m was 1.91 per cent during the quarter, compared to 2.11 per cent during the third quarter of the year. During the quarter, a bond of SEK 1,000 M was issued with a maturity of 5.25 years and a credit margin of 122 basis points. In conjunction with the issue, Castellum repurchased bonds with short maturities at a nominal amount of SEK 406 M.

Sustainability
One of the world's 100 most sustainable companies
Castellum has been named one of the world's 100 most sustainable companies in the Global 100 list, produced by Corporate Knights Inc. Of over 8,000 companies analysed globally, Castellum ranks 56th and is one of only two Swedish companies on the list. The ranking is based on criteria such as sustainable investments, proportion of sustainable income and the companies' progress in facing the climate transition.
Castellum is reporting on the first year results of its new climate targets, which were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2025. This target means that the company undertakes to achieve net-zero GHG emissions throughout its value chain by 2040 at the latest.
Sustainability goals and strategy
Castellum's sustainability strategy, The Sustainable City, encompasses 17 measurable targets in three areas of focus: Future-proofed assets, Sustainable workplaces and Sound business. This strategy has been integrated into the business model and encompasses investments in attractive, inclusive workplaces as well as responsible business with clear procedures for ethics, regulatory compliance and the supply chain.
By combining environmental, social and governance-related aspects, Castellum is strengthening its competitiveness and long-term profitability while the company promotes a more sustainable society.
Sustainability results
Two of Castellum's energy targets expired in 2025 and both were achieved. The target of an 11 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to 2021 was surpassed, with a 16 per cent reduction being recorded. The target stipulating that 70 per cent of Castellum's properties are to have an energy performance of less than 100 kWh/
Energy use over time, kWh/sq. m.

Sustainability-certified properties

sq. m. was also achieved, with an outcome of 72 per cent being recorded.
In the like-for-like asset portfolio, the normalised energy savings LTM amounted to -6.5 per cent. The climate impact of investment properties amounts to 3.69 kgCO $_2$ e/sq. m. compared to the target of 3.96 kgCO $_2$ e/sq. m. for 2025. This target is a sub-target under Castellum's climate target of net zero emissions by 2040.
The number of buildings with a sustainability certification continues to increase. As of the fourth quarter of 2025, 295 properties are certified, corresponding to 58 per cent of the property area. Energy optimisation projects corresponding to just over SEK 165 M have been completed or commenced during the last twelve months. Investments during the last five years totalled SEK 965 M. The average energy savings in the like-for-like asset portfolio over the past decade amounts to 3.7 per cent per year.
In 2025, Castellum once again garnered attention from Equileap in social sustainability and ranked as one of Sweden's foremost in gender equality, placing among the top ten nationally and ranking seventh globally in the property sector. TIME Magazine and Statista have also recognised Castellum as one of the most sustainable companies in the world, placing Castellum second among all Swedish companies and sixth among all property companies globally.
Castellum has received an A- rating from CDP. In 2025, CDP evaluated more than 22,000 companies – representing more than half of the global market capitalisation – on their climate initiatives.
Castellum has also been included among over 7,500 evaluated companies globally in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook.

Acquisitions and transfers of own shares

Comments on Parent Company earnings
The Parent Company is Castellum Aktiebolag (publ). The object of the Parent Company's operations is to own and manage shares in the operating subsidiaries and to be responsible for issues relating to the stock market, such as Group reporting and stock market information, and related to the credit market in the form of borrowing and financial risk management.
Income before tax amounted to SEK 961 M (1,318). The change in financial items is largely attributable to revaluation effects on receivables and liabilities.

Other information
Risks and uncertainties
Castellum's operations, earnings and financial position are impacted by a number of risk factors. These are related primarily to properties, tax and financing. The company works actively to identify and manage the risks and opportunities that are of material significance to its operations. Castellum manages these risks brought about by a changing market by having a strong balance sheet and maintaining a low loan-to-value ratio. Combined with active asset management, the company reduces the risk for increased cost of capital. On the operational side, Castellum is working with a carefully composed tenant portfolio with a spread across notice periods, industries, tenant size and geographic location concentrated in growth cities. To facilitate risk management, Castellum has chosen to classify risks into the categories of business environment risks, operational risks, financial risks, and sustainability risks. More information on Castellum's risks and their management can be found in the Annual Report for 2024.
Forward-looking information
A number of items recognised in this report are forward-looking, and the actual outcome may differ substantially. Apart from the factors that have expressly been commented on, other factors such as economic growth, interest-rate levels, financing terms, yield requirements on property assets and political decisions may also have a material impact on the actual outcome.
Accounting policies
Castellum's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act. Moreover, the relevant provisions in the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Markets Act have been applied. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies and bases for calculation as in the latest annual report have been applied. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A appear in the remainder of this interim report. Preparation of the interim report requires company management to make assessments and estimates, and to make assumptions that have impacted the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments made and the sources of uncertainty in existing estimates are the same as those in the latest published annual report.
Valuation of the asset portfolio
Castellum internally assesses its entire property holdings on a quarterly basis, corresponding to level 3 in IFRS 13. According to accepted theory, the value of an asset is the net present value of future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. This
section aims to describe and illustrate Castellum's cash flow-based model for calculation of the value of the property portfolio. The value of the property portfolio is calculated in a 10 to 20-year cash flow model as the total present value of net operating income minus remaining investments on ongoing projects, during the calculation period of 10 to 20 years, and the present value of the estimated residual value after the cash-flow period. The residual value comprises the present value of all future net operating income after the cash-flow period. The estimated market value of undeveloped land and building rights are added to this. Accordingly, valuation is conducted pursuant to IFRS 13, level 3. The assessment pertaining to the future earnings and the yield requirement, which are the weightiest value-driving factors in the valuation model, are crucial for the calculated value of the property portfolio. The yield requirement is derived from market transactions on objects of equal value, known as the local price method. The earnings are based on existing contracts and the most likely lease scenarios in the respective properties. For further information on Castellum's valuation of its property portfolio, refer to Note 10 in the Annual Report for financial year 2024.
Valuation of financial assets and liabilities
To calculate the fair value of our interest-rate and currency derivatives, market rates for each term and exchange rates as quoted in the market for the closing date are used. Interest rate swaps are valued by discounting future cash flows to present value. When calculating the fair value of derivatives, adjustments are made for counterparty risk in the form of Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustments (DVA). CVA shows Castellum's risk of experiencing credit loss in the event of counterparty default, whereas DVA shows the opposite. The adjustment is calculated at the counterparty level based on expected future credit exposure, risk of default and the recovery rate of exposed credits.
Related-party transactions
Remuneration has been paid to Board members and senior executives pertaining to work performed. Additional related-party transactions also took place with Sweco, which is deemed to be a related party since one of Castellum's previous Board members held an executive position within the company. The total value of related-party transactions with Sweco is estimated at approximately SEK 12 M, net until 18 July 2025 when the Board member left her position.
Related-party transactions also encompass Castellum invoicing of SEK 3.2 M to Halvorsäng for services performed pertaining to project management and administration. The company is a joint venture in partnership with Göteborgs Hamn AB. All related-party transactions took place at arm's length.

Alternative performance measures
A number of the financial alternative performance measures presented by Castellum are not defined in accordance with the IFRS accounting standards. However, the company believes that these metrics provide useful supplementary information both to investors and to Castellum management, as they facilitate evaluation of company performance. It is to be noted that, since not all companies calculate financial key metrics in the same manner, these are
not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. These financial metrics should therefore not be seen as a substitute for metrics defined according to IFRS. Unless otherwise stated, the table below presents metrics, along with their reconciliation, which are not defined according to IFRS. Furthermore, definitions for these metrics also appear on page 29.

Definitions
Alternative performance measures
Castellum applies the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) guidelines on alternative performance measures. According to these guidelines, an alternative performance measure is a financial measurement of historical or future earnings trends, financial position, financial earnings or cash flows that are not identified or indicated in the applicable rules for financial reporting (IFRS® reporting standards and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act). Castellum is also a member of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), which is why the financial key metrics EPRA EPS, EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA, EPRA NDV, EPRA LTV and EPRA vacancy rate are reported.
Dividend yield
Declared dividend as a percentage of the share price at the end of the period. The key metrics illustrate how much of their investment the shareholders receive back in dividends.
Unencumbered assets ratio
Total carrying amount of assets that are not pledged as collateral, as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Return on equity
Income after tax as a percentage of average equity. This key metric illustrates the capacity for generating earnings on the Group's equity.
Loan-to-value ratio
Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Loan-to-value ratio, Property
Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the properties' fair value. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
EPRA EPS – Earnings Per Share
Income from property management adjusted for current tax on income from property management, divided by the average number of shares. The estimate of current tax takes into account factors such as depreciation and reconstruction that are deductible for tax purposes. This key metric is a measurement of earnings generation in the operation, less nominal tax.
EPRA NRV – Net Reinstatement Value
Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends, carrying
Other key metrics and definitions Number of shares
Registered number of shares – the number of shares registered at a given point in time. Number of shares outstanding – the number of shares registered with a deduction for the company's own repurchased shares at a given point in time.
Average number of shares – the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a given period.
Return on total capital
Income before tax with reversed net interest and changes in values on derivatives over the last 12 months as a percentage of average total capital.
Data per share
Calculation of income and cash flow per share uses the average number of shares, and calculation of assets, equity and net asset value per share uses the number of shares outstanding.
Economic occupancy rate
Rental income accounted for during the period, less discounts, as a percentage of rental value for properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the period have been restated as if they had been owned or completed
amounts of derivatives, goodwill and nominal deferred tax. This key metric describes the total equity that Castellum manages on behalf of its owners.
EPRA NTA – Net Tangible Assets
Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends, carrying amounts of derivatives and goodwill adjusted for the estimated fair value of deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax. This key metric corresponds to EPRA NRV, but with the difference that deferred tax is based on estimated fair value.
EPRA NDV – Net Disposal Value
Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends and carrying amounts of goodwill. This key metric illustrates the owners' share of equity.
EPRA LTV – Loan to Value
Interest-bearing liabilities with additions for hybrid bonds, adjusted for the currency portion of the market value of hedging for loans in foreign currencies, and less cash and cash equivalents. Negative working capital increases interest-bearing liabilities, whereas positive working capital is added to the value of investment properties. Principal associated companies are included in proportion to the share owned. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Income from property management
Income before tax adjusted for change in value of properties, derivatives, financial holdings and goodwill, as well as Castellum's share of earnings from associated companies and joint ventures excluding income from property management. Income from property management is a measurement of earnings
during the whole year, while properties disposed of have been excluded entirely. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded.
EPRA Vacancy rate
The estimated market rent for vacant leases divided by the rental value on an annual basis for the entire asset portfolio excluding properties classified as development properties.
Property type
The property's primary rental value with regard to the type of premises. Premises for purposes other than the primary use may therefore be found within a property type. Castellum's property types are: office, public sector properties (customers that are directly or indirectly tax funded), warehouse/light industry, retail and development projects and land.
Property costs
This item includes both direct property costs, such as operating expenses, maintenance, site leasehold fees and property tax, as well as indirect costs for leases and property administration.
Rental value
Rental and service income with the addition of
generation in the operation, after financial costs but excluding changes in value.
Rental and service income in the like-for-like portfolio
Rental and service income from properties that formed part of the portfolio throughout the reporting period and the entire comparative period. Development properties, coworking and properties that were acquired or sold are not included. This key metric illustrates the performance of rental and service income excluding non-recurring effects – for example, early vacancies – unaffected by acquired and sold properties.
Net investment
Net of property acquisitions, investments in the existing property portfolio and property sales. This key metric illustrates the investment volume.
Net debt/EBITDA
Interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents in relation to net operating income less central administrative costs over the last 12 months. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Interest coverage ratio
Income from property management after reversal of net financial items, as a percentage of net interest items. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Secured debt to total assets ratio
Secured debts as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk.
Surplus ratio
Net operating income adjusted for coworking and other income, as a percentage of rental income and service income excluding coworking. This key metric clarifies the profitability of the properties.
estimated market rent for vacant spaces.
Contract value
Rental and service income on an annual basis for Castellum's leases.
SEK per square metre
Property-related key metrics, expressed in terms of SEK per square metre, are based on properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/ completed during the year have been restated as if they had been owned or completed for the whole year, while properties disposed of have been completely excluded. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded. In the interim accounts, key metrics have been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.
Net leasing
Rental and service income for leases signed during the period for the entire property portfolio, less rental income for leases terminated during the period.
