Expanding and focusing on a continued cautious transaction market

"Catella continues to advance on an uncertain market. The acquisition of Aquila Group added SEK 15 Bn in assets under management and a new source of capital from private investors. We continue to develop new products and solutions for investors in the new market environment. While we are expanding operations, we are simultaneously adapting the organization and our cost base to a market characterized by lower transaction volumes."

CEO COMMENTS

"Expansion and focus on a continued cautious transaction market"

The global economy has entered a macro environment with high and volatile inflation, low productivity growth, and higher nominal interest rates (compared to the previous decade). We continue to see a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, causing continued downward pressure on riskier asset classes as the market adapts. Geopolitical risk compounds this view with the potential impact on the energy markets and the general inflationary nature of conflict. Real estate has become more heterogenous as an asset class and we believe that all property asset classes are set to bifurcate further. Segments with CPI-connected rental markets, somewhat higher yield levels, and low equity valuations are expected to outperform in the near term, with high ESG credentials an additional factor

Office values are under intense pressure from ESG-conversion needs and from vacancies driven by new working models. However, the contrarian capital is starting to focus on prime supplyconstraint locations, with the aim of redeveloping assets to prime ESG stock meeting the flexible office needs of the future. For the first time in a long time, market conditions now favor more active asset management over passive investing. In this challenging market, Catella's pan-European offering of vertically integrated local experts and asset managers will help our clients succeed.

The impact of the rising yields in residential assets has been largely offset by rental growth. Significant housing stock is owned by the older demographic groups with lower debt level, while the high cost of debt will likely deter younger buyers and push that market back to renting. At the same time, the demand for and requirements of ESG-compliant assets keeps increasing, which should strongly support sustainable build-to-rent investments in the right micro locations. Catella already offers two separate pan-European Article 9 funds, and we are working to deliver a new offering that meets the growing demand for affordable and sustainable housing.

In other segments, we see ESG-compliant new construction space in Logistics and Industrial assets in high demand - the on-shoring trends and purchasing patterns here continue to point to growth with a simultaneously limited supply. Catella is developing attractive assets through our French platform, while our logistics fund continues to grow on the back of strong investor demand.

In an uncertain market with limited transaction activity, Catella continues to focus our operations while simultaneously advancing our positions. On the European market, transaction volumes decreased by more than 60 percent year-on-year, to EUR 22 Bn. Reduced transaction activity affects all three business areas, while also requiring that we adapt our organization. We have been doing this on an ongoing basis during the year, and in the quarter we reduced headcount in several companies further, which generated some restructuring costs.

At the same time as we are adapting operations to the prevailing market conditions, we are expanding our business. In September, we completed the acquisition of 60 percent of Aquila Group for an initial purchase consideration of SEK I I 3 M. The acquisition adds more than SEK 15 Bn in assets under management and represents another step on our growth journey. With one of the largest independent operators in property investmentmanagement in France now on our team, we will benefit from key synergies with existing operations in France and Europe, while it is also of major strategic importance to broaden operations by adding a new source of capital from private investors through the French fund operations.

Sluggish market for capital raising

Lower inflows to traditional property funds is the natural consequence of higher interest rates, continued uncertainty, and lagging property valuations. However, interest in opportunistic investments is increasing, a market where we have solid competencies and where we are focusing our growth efforts.

Apart from the acquisition of Aquila Group, assets under management largely remained unchanged, adjusted for exchange rate effects, on the preceding quarter. We consider this a sign of strength given the current market conditions, and are pleased to see continued growth in assets under management in our Article 9 funds, which have the sharpest sustainability focus.

Investment Management's profit amounted to SEK 26 M in the quarter, the result of a sluggish transaction market as well as some M&A and restructuring costs. Underlying fixed management fees continued to increase by 14 percent on the previous year, driven by increased assets under management. It is worth noting that income from Aquila Group was not included in profit for the quarter.

Looking ahead, Investment Management is holding strong in a turbulent market, with stable fixed revenues, extensive committed capital, and continued strong relationships with our investor base. In addition, we are seeing increased interest in more actively managed mandates, while the acquisition of Aquila Group opens up the prospect of new capital inflows from the private investor market.

Broader focus in Principal Investments

One of Catella's strengths lies in that we co-invest in development projects with the aim of generating returns as well as attracting new business through management mandates. We also invest in new ideas generated within the organisation. This is an area that is set to expand in future, partly through additional investments in our funds in Sweden and the UK, as well as the fund now being launched within Aquila Group. We have also added our investment in Pamica to the business area. Catella was one of the first

investors in Pamica, and further investments were made in the latest investment company, Pamica IV, this year.

Even if progress has been made in our investment projects, we anticipate that divestments of completed projects will remain limited in 2023. At the same time, we are seeing more opportunities for new investments that meet our return requirements as market prices continue to adjust and more opportunistic investment opportunities arise.

At the end of the quarter, Principal Investments invested a total of some SEK 1.7 Bn in 10 projects across six markets.

Advisory market remains hesitant

Transaction volumes in the quarter were at their lowest since 2009, which naturally affects Corporate Finance. Income decreased by approximately SEK 20 M, which generated operating profit of SEK -6 M (6).

We continue to have a solid pipeline of transactions, but in order to realize these in the near future we would need to return to a more normalised transaction market, and it is difficult to predict when this is likely to occur.

New opportunities for growth and profitability

We continue to advance Catella's positions on a sluggish market, while simultaneously adjusting our cost structure. We develop products and solutions adapted to the new market environment while simultaneously investing in digitalization, sustainability, and Al. These investments will drive scalability and competitive advantages in the longer term.

The current market conditions highlight the importance of being a resilient and forward-looking company that is able to adapt to a changing market environment. This is at the core of Catella's business model and values.

Christoffer Abramson, CEO and President Stockholm, Sweden, 27 October 2023

Group net sales and profit/loss Third quarter 2023

The Group's net sales totalled SEK 393 M (405) and the Group's total income amounted to SEK 534 M (508), of which SEK 263 M (313) relates to Investment Management, SEK 177 M (88) to Principal Investments and SEK 93 M (105) to Corporate Finance. Investment Management increased fixed management income while variable income (acquisition fees and performance fees) simultaneously decreased. | ower transaction levels continue to impact many units within Corporate Finance, and the business area's net sales decreased by SEK 13 M on the previous year. Most of Principal Investments' income comprised accrued income from the logistics projects Metz and Barcelona, and rental income from the residential project Kaktus.

Group operating profit was SEK 32 M (74), with lower year-on-year sales mainly due to lower transaction- and performance-based fees for managed funds in Investment Management, and fewer completed transactions in Corporate Finance. The previous year's figure includes profit of SEK 34 M from the partial divestment of a Danish residential development project.

Comments on the progress of each business areas can be found on pages 7-11.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -42 M (15) and included interest income of SEK 8 M (14) and loan arrangement fees of SEK 41 M (21). Increased interest expenses are attributable partly to Catella AB's bond loan, which accrues floating-rate interest at 3-month Stibor plus 475 b.p, and partly to the

Kaktus project, for which interest expenses attributable to the completed residential properties are recognised in the Income Statement as of I January 2023. Other financial items totalled SEK -9 M (21), of which SEK -37 M (22) related to negative exchange rate differences from the revaluation of receivables and foreign currency cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, profit from sales of subsidiaries totalled SEK 30 M (0), of which a majority related to Infrahubs.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK -9 M (90) and net profit for the period was SEK -22 M (68) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.25 (0.77) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Nine-months period 2023

The Group's total income in the ninemonth period amounted to SEK 1,793 M (1,950), and the Group's net Operating profit to SEK 122 M (506). The lower profit compared to the previous year was mainly due to reduced performance-based fees from managed funds in Investment Management, fewer completed transaction in Corporate Finance, and fewer divested properties in Principal Investments. In the nine-month period, Principal Investments divested a property and started profit recognition of a further two properties. In the corresponding period of the previous year, three properties were divested and a further two recognized in revenue.

The Group's net financial income and expense was SEK -26 M (1), of which interest income was SEK 42 M (31) and interest and loan arrangement fees

amounted to SEK I I 6 M (59). Net financial income/expense also included positive exchange rate differences of SEK 24 M (48) and profit from the divestment of subsidiaries of SEK 37 M (0). The adjustment of securities at fair value resulted in impairment of SEK 13 M (-20), attributable to loan portfolios.

The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 96 M (508) and net profit for the period was SEK 54 M (394) which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK 0.62 (4.46) attributable to the Parent Company shareholders.

Net profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to SEK I 5 M (171), of which SEK 9 M related to profit from divested projects in Principal Investments.

Significant events in the quarter

In July, Catella divested its 50 percent stake in Infrahubs AB and associated project companies for a total purchase consideration of SEK 30 M. The divestment had a positive impact on profit after tax of SEK 28 M in the third quarter 2023.

In September, Catella concluded the acquisition of 60 percent of the shares in Aquila Group for an estimated purchase consideration of SEK 121 M. Aquila Group comprises Aquila Asset Management and property fund manager Axipit Real Estate Partners with a total of just over SEK EUR 1.4 Bn in assets under management. See also Note 6.

Significant events after the end of the quarter

There were no significant events after the end of the quarter.

Investment Management

Turnover and profit Third quarter 2023

Total income was SEK 263 M (313), and income after assignment costs amounted to SEK 221 M (270).

Property Funds' income decreased by SEK 6 M year-on-year. Fixed income increased by SEK 20 M due to increased fixed fees driven by growth in assets under management (+4.2 Bn) over the last 12 months.

Variable income in Property Funds

decreased by SEK 28 M. The decrease primarily related to lower performancebased fees and variable fees, attributable to a cautious transaction market with fewer transactions compared to the previous year. In Asset Management, income decreased by SEK 54 M mainly driven by the sale of GreenPoint, a residential development project, in Asset Management Denmark's comparable figures, as well as lower variable fees. Operating profit was SEK 26 M in the quarter, primarily driven

by Property Funds.

Nine-months period 2023

Total income was SEK 883 M (1,015), and operating profit was SEK 167 M (348). The lower operating profit was mainly driven by reduced performance-based and variable fees, and non-recurring income related to the divestment of GreenPoint in Asset Management Denmark in the comparative period.

Assets Under Management

Investment Management

Assets under management by service area and country

Total assets under management (AUM) was SEK 158.8 Bn, of which SEK 112 Bn related to Property Funds and SEK 47 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 BY SERVICE AREA

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT BY COUNTRY

Change in assets under management

Assets under management increased from SEK 142.4 Bn to SEK 158.8 Bn in the last 12-month period, which represents an increase of SEK 16.4 Bn. The increase was driven by inflows of SEK 28.3 Bn, and SEK 15.5 Bn to Asset Management from the acquisition of French company Aquila Group which comprises Aquila Asset Management and property fund manager Axipit Real Estate Partners, and to Property Funds, where the residential funds Catella Wohnen Europa, Catella European Residential, and Catella Logistik Deutschland +

and Sarasin Sustainable Properties - European Cities represented the largest inflows. Outflows of SEK -16.0 Bn were primarily due to the divestment of 34 rental properties in Germany and the Netherlands during the fourth quarter 2022, divestment of assets and expired mandates from APAM, as well as the divestment of Catella Hospitality Europe SAS. In addition, positive exchange rate effects of SEK 7.2 Bn, mainly related to exchange rate differences in EUR/SEK, had a positive effect on AUM. Assets under management increased by SEK 9.5 Bn in

the third quarter, compared to SEK 149.3 M in the second quarter. Inflows for the quarter of SEK 17.7 Bn in Asset Management were mainly driven by the acquisition of Aquila Group in totalling SEK 15.5 Bn, while inflows to Property Funds were mainly driven by Catella Wohnen Europa and Catella European Student Housing Fund III. Outflows of SEK -2.5 Bn were mainly linked to an asset sale and expired mandate within Asset Management. Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, reduced AUM by SEK -4 Bn.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT, IN THE QUARTER, SEK BN

Principal Investments

Turnover and profit Third quarter 2023

Income amounted to SEK 177 M (88), mainly comprising income from Catella Logistic Europe and its logistics projects Metz and Barcelona, which generated accrued income which is then offset by non-capitalized rolling operating costs. Furthermore, income consisted of rental income from the residential project Kaktus, and management fees in Catella Project Management

driven by rental income from the Südviertel project. Both development companies and their project companies have operating costs that are not capitalised. Operating profit for the segment was SEK 21 M attributable primarily to rental income from Kaktus and Catella Project Management.

As of 30 September, Principal Investments had invested a total of SEK 1,709 M in residential, logistics, office and retail projects in Europe.

Nine-months period 2023

Income was SEK 640 M (592), and operating profit was SEK 43 M (185). The decline in operating profit was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the sale of Infrahubs' properties in Norrköping, Örebro and Ljungby in the comparative period.

profit in Catella Investment Management and Catella Corporate Finance. These uncertainty factors remain in place and may affect future returns. In Principal Investments, current market conditions and lower transaction volumes may affect our opportunity to divest projects at acceptable price levels.

Seasonal variations

Seasonal variations are significant in the Corporate Finance business area. Transaction volumes and income have historically been highest in the fourth quarter.

Accounting principles

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 I Complementary Accounting Rules for Groups issued by RFR, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

In the third quarter 2023, the unlisted holding in Pamica and the unlisted fund holdings in Catella Fastighetsfond Systematisk C and UK REIT Fund were reclassified

from the category Other to the business area Principal Investments. As of 30 September 2023, the holdings have a fair value of SEK 138 M (90) and comprise operational business-related holdings.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Catella AB (Publ)

Corp. id. 556079-1419

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed information (interim report) of Catella AB (Publ) as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financal Information Performed by the Internet Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

** Catella's loan portfolio also includes the portfolios Pastor 3, 4 and 5 as well as Lusitano 4 whose book value of SEK 0.

Pastor 2

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 4.5 M.

Lusitano 5

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 evaluates that the time call will be exercised in the fourth quarter of 2023. 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 2.2 M. This is SEK 1.3 M lower compared to the start of the year and the adjustment affects profit mainly in the second quarter 2023. The reason for this is that previously distributed amounts such as interest have been reclassified by the fund's Principal Agent to amortizations with the aim of adjusting the position's outstanding capital amount to a figure corresponding to the fund's minimum cash reserve account

Further information regarding the loan portfolio can be found in the Annual Report 2022.

Note 4 Group assets valued at fair value

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. For

more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2022.

The Group's assets measured at fair value as of 30 September 2023 are stated in the following table.

Note 6 Disclosure relating to acquisition of Aquila Group

In September, following approval from the supervisory authorities, Catella acquired 60 percent of the shares in Aquila Asset Management SAS (Aquila Group). The acquisition strengthens Catella's European platform and generates significant synergies for the Group's existing operations.

Aquila Group is one of the largest independent operators in property investments and strategic management in France, with a total of EUR 1.4 Bn in assets under management. Aquila Group comprises Aquila Asset Management and property fund manager Axipit Real Estate Partners. The company's founders and CEO,Jean-Marc Sabiani and Gilles Barbieri, will remain as shareholders and remain active in the company for a minimum of five years.

Catella and the three minority owners of Aquila Group have entered into a call and put option agreement under which Catella is being granted a call option to acquire the shares of the minority owners and the minority owners are being granted a put option to sell their shares to Catella during the spring of 2029 at a price to be calculated through a pre-set formula depending on future profit development in the company.

The acquired operations, which form part of Catella's business area "Investment Management'', was consolidated as a subsidiary from 30 September 2023. Assuming full consolidation of Aquila Group as of I January 2023, Group income would have amounted to SEK 1.838 M, while profit/loss after tax for the period would have been SEK 66 M.

The total purchase consideration has been estimated at SEK 121 M, of which SEK I I 3 M comprises a fixed amount and SEK 8 M comprises conditional purchase consideration contingent on the company's operating profit in 2023-2025. The nominal amount of the conditional purchase consideration is SEK 10 M discounted to present value of SEK 8 M. Catella also incurred acquisition-related expenses of SEK 6 M which were charged to operating profit in 2023.

Furthermore, the present value of the put option relating to the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Aquila Group has been calculated at SEK 54 M. The amount

has been recognized as a financial liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and as a reduction in equity attributable to Parent Company shareholders at the corresponding amount.

Goodwill of SEK 97 M arising from the acquisition relates to operational expansion as a result of increased presence on the French market, important synergies with Catella's current operations, and human capital. No portion of reported goodwill is expected to be tax-deductible.

Acquired identifiable intangible assets totalled SEK 37 M and were attributable to the existing customer contact portfolio.

Non-controlling holdings are valued at their proportion, 40 percent, of the company's identifiable net assets, which amounted to SEK 16 M at the time of acquisition.

The acquisition analysis is preliminary due to the short period elapsed since the acquisition, and because the value of intangible assets and the conditional purchase consideration has not been finally determined.
