"We continue to consistently improve our operations for increased flexibility and resilience through the current economic cycle. We do this by investing in new products and a broader offering to adapt to higher interest rates and lower transaction volumes. At the same time as we have maintained our AUM, we have reduced our cost base. Our focus remains on increased efficiency and digitalized operations, all while continuously developing innovative products and solutions for our customers."
Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President
• Assets under management (AUM) were SEK 151 Bn at the end of the period, a decrease of SEK 1 Bn compared to the fourth quarter of 2023
• Catella's total investment volume decreased by SEK 258 M to SEK 1,437 M, primarily as an effect of the sale of a logistics development project in Jönköping, Sweden

SEK 2,289 M SEK 140 M SEK 151 Bn SEK 1,437 M



Total income Operating profit Assets under management Invested capital

Following a more positive outlook in the fourth quarter 2023, the market returned to being more hesitant in the first quarter 2024. Transaction volumes and capital inflows on the European market remain very low compared to the peak in 2021. In a situation where central banks continue to search for evidence of stabilized and lower inflation, we expect that we will have to wait a few more quarters before we see a clear turnaround on the transaction market. While our pipeline for transactions is stronger than it has been for some time, most transactions continue to take historically long to complete and the proportion of completed deals remains relatively low.
In line with a hesitant market and the associated lower revenues, we are reviewing and adjusting our cost base. Compared to same quarter last year, total income decreased by SEK 44 M, but we simultaneously reduced costs by SEK 46 M which led to a slightly improved operating profit of SEK 4 M (2). The comparison includes a negative change in market valuation of our fund investments by SEK -8 M.
At the same time as continuously cutting our costs, we have also made progress with other initiatives. For example, we have developed an AI tool that identifies locations for development projects where future demand for rental apartments is substantial and the potential for value growth is high. The tool is currently being used in the launch of our new product "European Living Development". This product strategy has been developed to meet the extensive demand for, and growing shortage of, modern, sustainable and affordable living in Europe. At the same time, it also meets investors' increased return requirements..
In general, capital raising continue to take longer to complete, but as interest rate expectations stabilize and financing terms improve, we expect the investment market to pick up.
Assets under management in Investment Management totalled SEK 151 Bn in the quarter, slightly down on SEK 152 Bn at year end. The background to the decrease primarily relates to a finalized asset management mandate in the UK. The mandate totalled close to SEK 6 Bn and was initiated over six years ago based on an aggregation strategy in London, and once the portfolio reached the targeted size, the mandate was ended..
Profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 32 M (31), where income was slightly down on the previous year although this was offset by lower costs. After the end of the quarter, we entered into a few new mandates which support the business area's long-term growth.
Project developments and divestments according to plan In the quarter, we completed the sale of the final logistics property in the Infrahubs partnership. In Catella Logistics Europe, we completed and transferred the logistics property in Barcelona, and for the Isoparc project in France we chose to reclaim the invested capital relating to the land acquisition and continue our role as project developer. Principal Investments currently has investments of approximately SEK 1.4 Bn divided over 8 projects in Denmark, France, the UK and Germany.
Other development projects are proceeding according to plan and dialogues relating to future divestments are also progressing according to expectations.
Having further strengthened our liquidity, we are well equipped to invest in new projects that satisfy our required rate of return and that can lead to new management mandates.
As mentioned, transaction volumes in the quarter remained at low levels. This was reflected in Corporate Finance's revenue, which decreased by -14 percent year-on-year. While the business area has adapted its cost structure, the exceptionally low transaction volumes generated a slightly increased loss.
By focusing operations over the past 12 months, we are prepared and in a good position to grow cost-effectively as the market recovers and our pipeline is realized.
With a more efficient organization and lower cost base, Catella continues to launch attractive products adapted to longer-term market expectations. With our pronounced ESG focus, use of AI, and shared intelligence across the Group, we continue to hone our offering while awaiting a market stabilization and a return to more normalized transaction levels. Overall, these initiatives ensure that we are in a strong and resilient position for continued profitable and sustainable growth.

Principal Investments' income from divested and property development projects recognized in revenue is reported as Net sales from 2024 onwards, as income is derived from sales carried out as part of the company's regular operations. This reporting represents a departure from earlier periods, when the corresponding revenue was recognized as Other operating income. Comparative figures from earlier periods have not been adjusted in a corresponding manner.
The Group's total income decreased by 44 SEK M, totalling SEK 424 M (468). The lower income was partly due to Principal Investments' divestment of the Infrahubs platform in 2023. The Barcelona Logistics project was completed and delivered to the customer, which generated SEK 54 M of income in the period. In addition, the Metz-Eurolog project generated SEK 20 M in income relating to contractual milestones reached. For the Investment Management business area, income was closely in line with the previous year and Corporate Finance reported a 14 percent (approx.) reduction in income, mainly derived from the French units. The transaction market remains sluggish, and while there are no clear signs of change in continental Europe, some improvement was seen in the Nordic units during the first quarter 2024.
Other external expenses and personnel expenses decreased by a total of SEK 33 M to SEK 263 M (296), driven by lower varia
ble salaries, reduced headcount and cost savings. Other operating expenses amounted to SEK 17 M (4), of which SEK 14 M related to fair value adjustment of the unlisted shareholding in the private equity product Pamica
Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 5-9.
The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK 23 M (-3) and included positive exchange rate differences of SEK 56 M (13). The SEK depreciated sharply in the first quarter, which had a positive effect on revaluation of loan receivables mainly denominated in EUR and DKK. Net financial/income expense included interest expenses totalling SEK 52 M (40). The higher interest expenses are attributable in part to Catella AB's bond loan, which accrues floating-rate interest, and in part to interest rate expenses for ongoing projects being recognized in the Income Statement and not capitalized in the Group's financial position to a greater extent than in the comparative period.
The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 26 M (-1) and net profit for the period was SEK 26 M (-8) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK 0.29 (-0.09) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.
Profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 2 M (8). The lower profit compared to the previous year was due to the divestment of Infrahubs in July 2023.
In January, the final Infrahubs logistics property was divested under the framework for the collaboration with other partners. The transaction raised SEK 280 M in liquidity for Catella but had marginal impact on profit for the period.
Furthermore, in January, 55,000 Class A shares were converted into the same number of Class B shares at the request of shareholders.
The Extraordinary General Meeting on 20 March resolved to introduce a new long-term incentive program at market conditions for Group management and other key Group executives. The company will issue a total maximum of 4,700,000 warrants in five different series. Furthermore, a decision was made relating to the conditional repurchase of outstanding warrants under an older incentive program from 2020, aimed at warrant holders who remain in Catella's employment. As of 2 April, Catella repurchased a total of 2,450,000 warrants out of a total of 2,800,000 outstanding warrants.
The Nomination Committee decided to propose Sofia Watt as new Chair of the Board and Pernilla Claesson as new Board member of Catella AB at the AGM on 22 May 2024. Chairman Johan Claesson announced that he is not available for reelection.
There were no significant events after the end of the quarter.

Total income was SEK 245 M (250), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 204 M (207).
Property Funds' income decreased by SEK 13 M year-on-year. Fixed income decreased by SEK 11 M due to a lower AUM base as a result of value changes in the funds.
Variable income in Property Funds increased by SEK 4 M. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of properties linked to the Catella Logistik Deutschland Plus fund. In Asset Management, income increased by SEK 11 M,
mainly driven by the acquisition of Aquila in the previous year which contributed SEK 10 M to total income. Operating expenses for the segment are in line with the previous year but decreased by SEK 5 M, divided over multiple cost items. Operating profit was SEK 32 M in the quarter, primarily comprised of Property Funds.

Total assets under management (AUM) was SEK 151.3 Bn, of which SEK 112 Bn related to Property Funds and SEK 39 Bn to Asset Management. Germany is Property Funds' largest market with the highest proportion of invested capital, primarily
through Catella Residential Investment Management and Catella Real Estate.


Assets under management increased from SEK 140.6 Bn to SEK 151.3 Bn in the last 12-month period, which represents an increase of SEK 10.7 Bn. The increase was driven by inflows of SEK 25.9 Bn, of which SEK 15.5 Bn to Asset Management from the acquisition of the French Aquila Group, and to Property Funds, with residential funds Catella Wohnen Europa, Catella Logistik Deutschland plus and Catella European Residential, providing the largest inflows. Outflows of SEK 13.1 Bn were mainly associated with outflows from Catella UK linked to a the completion of the Hollborn Island mandate as well as divestment of assets in various portfolios. In addition, positive exchange rate effects of SEK 3.8 Bn, mainly related to exchange rate differences in EUR/SEK, had a positive effect on AUM. Assets under management decreased by SEK 1.1 Bn in the first quarter, compared to SEK 152.4 Bn in the fourth quarter in the previous year. Inflows for the quarter of SEK 1.7 Bn were primarily driven by Property Funds to the funds Catella Modernes Wohnen, SpardaWest, and Catella Logistik Deutschland Plus. Outflows of SEK 6.8 Bn were primarily driven by Catella UK linked to the termination of the Hollborn Island mandate. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, increased AUM by SEK 6.2 Bn in the quarter.



Income amounted to SEK 114 M (136), mainly comprising income from Catella Logistic Europe and its logistics projects Barcelona and Metz-Eurolog. The projects were divested through forward-funding agreements with investors where revenue (and project costs) are recognized over
time at a pace with completion of the project. The Barcelona project was completed in its entirety and delivered to the investor in the period. Income for the period also comprised rental income from the residential project Kaktus. Both development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit for the segment
amounted to SEK 1 M (13), a decrease mainly attributable to fair value adjustment of the unlisted shareholding in private equity product Pamica.
As of 31 December, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK 1,437 M in residential projects, logistics projects, office projects and retail projects in Europe.

* The figures indicate the share of Principal Investments' total investment and what proportion consists of capital contributions and loans issued, respectively.

The following table shows the investment status for ongoing property development projects and other investments as of 31 March 2024. The project company's total investment includes invested capital from Catella, partners and external financing. Catella's total investment related to both capital contributed and loans issued. Seestadt and Düssel-Terrassen include a number of phases in each project, which will be completed at different times. In 2024, several projects are expected to be concluded and divested.
In the first quarter 2024, Catella's total investment volume decreased by net SEK 258 M to SEK 1,437 M. Lower investment volumes were mainly due to the divestment of logistics projects Infrahubs Jönköping and Isoparc of France, and new external financing for the Kaktus project which enabled partial amortization of loans from Catella. Gross investments for the period totalled SEK 178 M and primarily related to the French logistics projects Polaxis and Metz-Eurolog.

The following information relates to the Group formal accounts.
The Group's total assets increased by SEK 425 M in the first quarter, amounting to SEK 5,869 M as of 31 March 2024. The increase was mainly due to loans from credit institutions of SEK 321 M for the financing of the Kaktus and Polaxis projects. Furthermore, Group equity increased by SEK 79 M to SEK 2,115 M as of 31 March 2024. Apart from profit/loss for the period of SEK 27 M, equity was primarily affected by positive translation differences of SEK 51 M. As of the Balance Sheet date, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 36 percent (37 percent as of 31 December 2023).
Catella AB issued a new unsecured bond of SEK 1,250 M with a term of 4 years and maturity in March 2025. The bond was reclassified in the period from non-current to current liabilities in the Group's Statement of Financial Position. The bond loan accrues floating-rate interest at 3-month Stibor plus 475 b.p. The effective interest rate, excluding loan arrangement fees, was 8.8 percent (7.4) in first quarter 2024. Financing is conditional on a minimum Group equity requirement of SEK 800 M from time to time. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on dividend.
In addition, the Group's property development company received loans from credit institutions relating to ongoing property projects. As of 31 March 2024, these loans amounted to SEK 1,522 M (1,506).
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities was SEK 25 M (-61), of which cash flow from property projects amounted to SEK 95 M (39). The sale of Infrahubs Jönköping raised SEK 280 M in cash and cash equivalents for Catella, and additional investments in the French projects Polaxis
and Metz generated outflows of SEK 188 M.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 306 M (-20), of which SEK 321 M related to extended financing from credit institutes for the Kaktus and Polaxis project.
Cash flow in the period was SEK 330 M (-99) and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 1,152 M (1,710), of which cash and cash equivalents relating to the Group's Swedish holding company amounted to SEK 409 M (629).
Parent Company income was SEK 10.9 M (11.1), and operating profit was SEK -11.7 M (-20.8). The profit improvement was mainly due to lower personnel expenses. Profit/loss for the previous year included non-recurring costs for redundancies. Furthermore, variable salary costs for the period were lower than in the previous year.
Net financial income/expense for the period totalled SEK -28.4 M (-23.9) where the deterioration was due to higher interest rate costs for the bond loan accruing variable interest.
The number of employees at the end of the period was 20 (23).
At the end of the period, there were 494 (520) employees, expressed as full-time equivalents.
Macroeconomic conditions relating to inflation and interest rates affect transaction levels and assets under management, impacting results of operations in Investment Management and Corporate Finance. Lower transaction volumes can also affect Principal Investments' ability to divest projects at acceptable prices. These uncertainty factors may affect future returns.
Catella AB is indirectly exposed to the same risks as the Group through its holding of shares in subsidiaries and associated
companies.

** 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.
In the sub-portfolio Pastor 2, the underlying loans are below ten percent of the issued amount and Catella expects the issuer to utilise its clean-up call. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below ten percent of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. Catella considers the credit risk in the portfolio to be low, although the precise timing of the exercise of the option is difficult to forecast due to various unknown factors relating to the issuer. Catella has made the assumption that a repurchase will take place in the fourth quarter of 2025. The portfolio is valued at the full repayable amount of EUR 5.0 M, discounted to present value with application of a discount rate for similar assets. This corresponds to a value of EUR 4.7 M.
The time call affects sub-portfolio Lusitano 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the sub-portfolio to be repurchased at a specific point in time, and subsequently from time to time. The option has been available since 2015. Catella has assumed that the time call will be exercised in the second quarter of 2024. This assumption is conservative as it means that no further cash flows than the position's current capital amount of EUR 1.6 M plus the following quarter's cash flow will be received when exercising the time call. The portfolio is hence valued at EUR 2.0 M.
Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2023.

Financial instruments valued at fair value are classified in one of three levels. 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 for 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. Financial assets in level 3 include loan portfolios, loan receivables and unlisted share and
fund holdings. Financial liabilities in level 3 refer to contingent consideration for shares in the subsidiary Aquila. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2023.
