CEO COMMENT
"Important steps forward in a challenging market"
Personally, I am delighted to have settled into my new position as CEO. Catella has enormous potential and competencies, and it is very exciting to be working alongside such entrepreneurial colleagues. We completed several major changes in 2021, and I feel that the entire company is driving operations in a positive direction, which is not entirely straight forward given the position we find ourselves in.
The first quarter is normally Catella's weakest due to low transaction volumes and Q1 2021 was no exception, given the continued challenges presented by Covid-19 in terms of completing property transactions quickly and efficiently.
Although operating profit is not satisfactory, we are taking significant strategic steps forward. The focus on the property segment continues while our cash position has been significantly strengthened through a new bond issue of SEK 1.25 Bn. It takes time for strategic changes to translate into profits and it is important that we remain patient.
After the end of the first quarter, Catella announced that IPM is winding down its investment operations and returning all capital to investors. IPM has been an important and profitable part of Catella's operations for several years, but unfortunately the global investment environment for systematic macro funds, together with IPM's returns and reduced capital base, have made the company's financial situation unsustainable. This was a very difficult decision to make that will have a significant negative affect on Catella's profit in Q2 2021. The profit impact attributable to Parent Company shareholders is expected to total SEK -103 M. In the long term this was the right decision for the company's shareholders, which now allows us to allocate our time and capital more effectively.
Nevertheless, there are positive signals, mainly from Property Investment Management where the development of new products in several verticals is progressing and assets under management continue to increase.
At the same time, we are continuing to strengthen our position in Corporate Finance through product and competence development, for example by increasing our resources in debt capital markets. Profitability is not sufficiently high in traditional advisory services at present, and this is something we need to address. With afocus on the property market as a whole and increased liquidity, we have a promising pipeline of projects in areas such as logistics and residential property where we see profitable projects and partnerships ahead.
We are proud that the Catella Group signed the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) in Q1. Catella already actively works with ESG factors, both in its role as investor and as an asset manager in a wider context. By signing UNPRI, Catella has strengthened its governance structure for responsible investment in all companies and on all national markets.
Some great examples in this important area include our property fund investment in the first energy-positive residential project, Elithis Towers, as well as our latest initiatives in Norrköping, Vaggeryd and Örebro where we are developing the logistics properties of the future in terms of materials, waste management, energy consumption and working methods.
Property Investment Management
The business area posted stable profits in Q1, with operating profit of SEK 28 M and continued inflows of assets under management.
We previously announced the divestment of our entire holding (50.1 procent of the shares) in the French subsidiary Catella Asset Management SAS in January 2021, and the final settlement from the sale was slightly better than expected. We are looking for a new French partner to grow alongside, as well as other reinvestment alternatives for the capital released by the transaction.
Assets under management totalled SEK 108.5 Bn at the end of the quarter, an increase of SEK 7.1 Bn, adjusted for Catella Asset Management SAS, on the previous quarter, of which net inflows totalled SEK 4.7 Bn. The decrease in total income and operating profit on the previous year of SEK 31 M and SEK 13 M respectively was mainly due to a transaction in Property Asset Management in the UK in Q1 2020.
Given the low returns in our markets, finding attractive investment opportunities is challenging and we need to think creatively and expansively. The work with developing Property Investment Management continues, where Catella's aim is to be a more active partner by creating business opportunities in logistics, residential development and other value-added segments, preferably using co-investments. This requires slightly broader competencies and organisational resources in some areas, and it is important that we retain our long-term perspective.
Corporate Finance
Catella's property transaction volumes amounted to SEK 6.4 Bn, which was unfortunately SEK 5.6 Bn lower year-onyear. Income decreased by SEK 20 M year-on-year, to SEK 88 M. The first quarter is seasonally the least active for the entire property transaction market, and this also applies to Catella.
Nevertheless, activity remains relatively high in Catella's markets and the lower income in the quarter was mainly
due to a very large transaction in Sweden in the first quarter 2020. France posted a strong first quarter and the residential property business continues to deliver.
Operating profit was SEK -26 M, SEK 13 M lower than in the previous year. Significant improvement is still needed on some markets and we remain dissatisfied with the overall European product offering and profitability.
Principal Investments
From Q2 2021, we will report Principal Investments as an independent business segment to ensure clarity and increased transparency. We started this in Q1 reporting by including more detailed information in Note 3.
Catella's European platforms create investment opportunities, either for Catella as an independent operator or alongside partners. The fact that Catella can initiate projects increases our credibility and margins over time. In addition to realising at least 20 percent IRR on equity, the idea is to also generate advisory, development and management fees on the invested amount through the relevant Catella companies. These synergies are a major focus for the company as a whole looking ahead.
We have a positive investment collaboration through Catella Project Capital (CPC), where several German development projects are run by Catella Project Management (CPM). Following the divestment of Grand Central, development is proceeding as planned with the large projects Seestadt and Düsselterrassen, while CPM is actively seeking new investment projects.
Catella Logistics Europe (CLE) has several logistics projects in progress in France and we are also starting to work outside France. Here too, we are building a pipeline even if we are facing some challenges in terms of realising ongoing projects at the desired returns.
Catella's collaboration with Infrahubs accelerated in Q1 and we have announced three joint projects in Norrköping, Vaggeryd and, after Q1, in Örebro. We have confidence that these projects will deliver and are proud of Infrahubs' market-leading position in modern and automated logistics properties in great locations and with high demands on sustainability.
The Danish residential property development project "Kaktus" in Copenhagen is in the midst of the construction phase for the two towers, with expected completion as planned in mid-2022.
It is up to us to increase the transparency of our growing investment projects. As this segment becomes more important, we have noted increased interest from investors, and it is important that we increase clarity.
Systematic Funds
Profit remained very weak in Q1. As previously communicated, Catella, in consultation with IPM's Board, has decided to recommend to the owners that IPM terminate its investment operations and return all capital to investors.
Catella Bank
The banking license is expected to be returned to the Supervisory Authority in Q3 2021, which will then process the case. Our assessment is that Catella will exit the consolidated financial situation in the third quarter of 2021. We continue to expect that around SEK 350 M in cash and cash equivalents will become immediately accessible, and that we should be able to release the assets in Visa convertibles in the coming years.
I am convinced that our focus on properties and synergies, with an increased proportion of profit derived from Property Investment Management and Principal Investments, will be positive for Catella's shareholders.
Christoffer Abramson CEO and President
"The preferred European partner for investors"
Catella has built a pan-European platform with global reach. Through the platform, Catella offers local expertise and tailor-made services in property investment aimed at professional investors. Our vision is to be the preferred European partner for investors—together we shape the future of property investments.
Our geographical spread and broad offering targeted at multiple client groups reduces Catella's exposure to individual markets and asset classes. This builds stable earnings over time.
The Group manages total assets of SEK 117 Bn and Catella is listed in the Mid Cap segment on Nasdaq Stockholm.
A focused Catella
Catella is the link between the property and financial markets. We create value for our stakeholders by working towards a clear vision together. The various parts of our strategy are like building blocks in a house—all the parts are important and necessary for achieving long-term success.

Our segments and business areas
Remaining operations in Catella comprise three business areas which are reported under two segments: Corporate Finance and Asset Management, where the latter includes Property Investment Management and Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds.*

Corporate Finance
Catella provides quality capital markets services to property owners and advisory services for all types of property-related transactions to various categories of property owners and investors. Operations are carried out on ten markets and offer local expertise about the property markets in combination with European reach.
For more information about the business area, see page 10.

Property Investment Management
Catella is a market leader in property investments with a presence on ten markets around Europe. Professional investors are offered attractive, risk-adjusted returns through regulated property funds, asset management services and project management in the early phase of property development projects.
For more information about the business area, see page 11.

Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds
Catella offers systematic management for institutional investors with a global focus.
For more information about the business area, see page 12.
*Catella has four business areas (operating segments under IFRS 8), of which Banking is reported as a disposal group held for sale (see Note 8), which are aggregated into two reportable segments that Catella terms Operating Segments. IFRS 8 permits that two or more operating segments may be aggregated to one, providing that they have similar accounting characteristics, and are also similar in terms of the character of products and services, the nature of production process, customer categories, distribution, and the extent to which operations, where applicable, are affected by various regulatory structures and risks. On this basis, Catella has defined Corporate Finance (consisting of the Corporate Finance operating segment) and Asset Management (consisting of the combined Property Investment Management, Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds, and Banking operating segments), as the Group's reportable segments.
Comments on the Group's progress
Amounts are in SEK M unless otherwise indicated. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.
Disposal group held for sale
The Banking business area is being wound down and has been reported as a disposal group held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 from 30 September 2018. This means that in the Consolidated Income Statement, Banking's net profit (after tax) is reported on a separate line under period profit from disposal group held for sale. See Note 7 for more information.
Comparative figures for previous years for the Banking business area have been reported in a corresponding manner in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Net sales and results of operations First quarter 2021
The Group's total income for remaining operations was SEK 314 M (503) and net sales for remaining operations totalled SEK 308 M (449), of which SEK 86 M (107) related to Corporate Finance and SEK 226 M (345) to Asset Management. The decrease in income in Asset Management was mainly due to the product area Systematic Funds, where volumes under management decreased further in the quarter, and to the product area Mutual Funds which was divested in the third quarter 2020. The decrease in income is also attributable to Catella Asset Management SAS which was divested in January 2021. Adjusted for Mutual Funds and Catella Asset Management SAS, Group net sales decreased by SEK 49 M in the quarter year-on-year. Furthermore, in 2020, total income included a performance-based income of SEK 37 M, derived from exiting a mandate in the Property Asset Management service area in the UK.
The Group's operating profit for remaining operations was SEK -22 M (72). Operating profit adjusted for divested operations was SEK -22 M (63). The lower profit compared to the previous year was mainly attributable to Systematic Funds.
Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 10-12.
The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK 117 M (-26), and includes profit from the divestment of the subsidiary Catella Asset Management SAS of SEK 130 M. Fair value changes in long-term securities holdings and short-term investments amounted to SEK -13 M (-20), of which a majority relates to investments in IPM Systematic Macro Fund. Net financial income/expense also includes positive exchange rate differences of SEK 18 M (10). Exchange rate differences, mainly in EUR/SEK, have a positive impact on the value of loan receivables in local currency, as do the Swedish holding companies' cash and cash equivalents denominated in EUR. Interest income for the period was SEK 3 M (2), and Interest expenses was SEK 16 M (12). Net financial income/expense for the period was affected by non-recurring costs totalling SEK 8 M as a result of the repurchase and early redemption of an existing bond.
The Group's profit before tax for remaining operations was SEK 95 M (46).
Profit for the period (after tax) from disposal group held for sale was SEK -8 M (-14) and related to the Banking business area.
Profit in the period for the Group's total operations was SEK 80 M (10), of which SEK 91 M (0) was attributable to parent company shareholders. This corresponds to Earnings per share of SEK 1.03 (0.0).
Significant events in the quarter Catella divests Property Asset Management operations in France
In January 2021, Catella divested its entire holding 50.1 procent of the shares, in its French subsidiary Catella Asset Management SAS for a cash purchase price of SEK 162 M. The amount is SEK 8 M higher than previously communicated as the purchase consideration was affected by the company's net cash position on the record date. The divestment had a positive effect
on profit after transaction costs of approximately SEK 130 M during the first quarter of 2021.
Issue of new senior unsecured bond and repurchase/early redemption of existing bond
On 2 March 2021, Catella announced its intention to issue a new senior unsecured bond totalling an expected SEK 1,000 M within a framework of a SEK 1,500 M facility and with an expected term of 4 years. At the same time, Catella announced a voluntary repurchase offer of outstanding senior unsecured bonds at a price corresponding to 101.30 percent of the nominal amount. At the end of the repurchase offer on 9 March 2021, a total nominal amount of SEK 549 M in existing bonds had been received. The remaining bonds with a nominal amount of SEK 201 M were redeemed early on 26 March 2021. The terms of the new financing had thereby been met. The new senior unsecured bond has a total amount of SEK 1,250 M, a term of 4 years and accrues floating-rate interest of 3-month Stibor plus 4.75%. The bond will be listed on NASDAQ Stockholm.
Christoffer Abramson new CEO and President
Catella's Board appointed Christoffer Abramson as new CEO and President of the Catella Group. Christoffer took up his position on 13 April 2021. The appointment is subject to approval by the supervisory authority CSSF in Luxembourg. Christoffer had previously held the position of CFO since 15 October 2020. Mattias Brodin took up his position as interim CFO on 29 March 2021.
Catella divests Class A shares in Visa
Through Catella Bank (which is in the process of being wind down), Catella has had a holding of Class A preference shares in Visa Inc. The holding has been converted to Class A shares, which were divested in March 2021. The fair value change for the period of SEK 6 M net was
recognised in Other comprehensive income in the first quarter 2021.
Significant events after the end of the quarter
IPM winds down investment operations and returns all capital to investors
IPM has a long history as a market-leading global systematic macro manager with
strong long-term returns and a low correlation to both equities and bonds. Recently, the investment market for systematic macro funds has been very challenging and IPM has generated weak returns and seen large capital outflows. This means that Catella, in consultation with IPM's Board, has decided to recommend that IPM terminate its investment operations and return all capital to investors. The winding down of
IPM will affect Catella's profit negatively in the second quarter of 2021. The costs attributable to Parent Company shareholders are estimated at some SEK 103 M, of which SEK 39 M relates to goodwill impairment and SEK 64 M to other liquidation expenses.

*Remaining operations
Corporate Finance
First quarter 2021
The total transaction market for commercial property in Europe, excluding the UK, totalled EUR 41.3 Bn (64.7) in the quarter, which is a decrease of 36% year-on-year.
Property transactions where Catella served as advisor totalled SEK 6.4 Bn (12.0) in the quarter. Of the total transaction volumes in the quarter, France provided SEK 1.9 Bn (3.4) Denmark 1.5 Bn (0), Sweden 1.4 Bn (6.5) and Finland 1.4 Bn (1.3).
Total income was SEK 88 M (109), and total income, adjusted for assignment costs, decreased by SEK 24 M which were attributable to the Nordics. The Group's operating profit totalled SEK -26 M (-13), a decrease of SEK 13 M year-on-year.
Operating costs decreased by SEK 11 M, mainly due to lower variable personnel costs, personnel-related costs and marketing costs.
In Continental Europe, income after assignment costs and operating profit were lower year-on-year, mainly driven by Germany and Spain where fewer transactions were completed. In the Nordics, Sweden provided a majority of the decrease in income and profit compared to the previous year, mainly attributable to a major transaction in 2020.

No proportion of the company's income or expenses has been included in the consolidated Income Statement for the first quarter 2021.

Assets under management increased, adjusted for France, by SEK 13.5 Bn on the previous year and by SEK 7.1 Bn compared to the previous quarter.

Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds
During the third quarter 2020, Catella divested 70 percent of the shares in Catella Fondförvaltning AB (Mutual Funds). Income and expenses were included for the period 1 January - 31 August 2020. The remaining 30% was included in the Group's financial position as a Holding in associated companies under the Other segment.
First quarter 2021
Assets under management decreased by SEK 5.8 Bn year-on-year, net flows were SEK -5.2 Bn. IPM has generated weak returns and large capital outflows for an extended period. This means that Catella, in consultation with the Board of IPM, has decided to recommend that IPM terminates its investment operations and returns all capital to its investors.
The winding down of IPM will affect Catella's profit negatively in the second quarter of 2021. The costs attributable to the Parent Company shareholders are estimated at some SEK 103 M, of which SEK 39 M relates to goodwill impairment and SEK 64 M to other liquidation expenses.

Risks and uncertainties
Catella is affected by progress on the financial markets. The Corporate Finance operation is affected by the market's willingness to execute transactions, which in turn, is determined by the macroeconomic environment and the availability of debt financing.
Asset Management is affected by market progress on the global financial markets and progress on the property market in Europe.
The Covid-19 pandemic affects Catella negatively, and there is a risk of a significant financial impact on the Group. Given the uncertain situation, it is currently not possible to estimate the full potential impact on the Group over the coming quarters.
A few companies in the Catella Group conduct operations that are under the supervision of regulatory financial authorities on their respective domestic markets. In addition, Catella's consolidated financial situation has been under the supervision of CSSF in Luxembourg since 31 March 2016. Existing regulatory frameworks and rapid regulatory changes are complex in general, and specifically with regard to banking operations. These regulatory framework place stringent, and in future even more stringent, demands on the routines and procedures, and liquidity and capital reserves, of the operations under supervision. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks is a pre-condition for conducting operations subject to supervision. Catella continuously seeks to ensure compliance with existing regulatory frameworks and to prepare for future compliance with coming regulatory changes.
The preparation of financial statements requires the Board of Directors and Group management to make estimates and judgements of the value of loan portfolios, goodwill, trademarks and brands, as well as assumptions concerning revenue recognition. Estimates and judgements affect the Group's Income Statement and financial position, as well as disclosures regarding contingent liabilities, for example. See Note 4 in the Annual Report 2020 for significant estimates and judgements. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgements, due to other circumstances or changed conditions.
Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany, Denmark, France and Sweden. Investments primarily take place through associated companies but also through subsidiaries. The projects are run by Catella's German, Danish and French subsidiaries and the Swedish projects are run by an associated company. Catella intends to invest in the early phase
of projects and divest the holding as soon as it is commercially advantageous to do so, although Catella also invests in projects to completion if required to ensure investment in future fund structures created by Catella. The investments include the risk that Catella companies are forced to choose between continuing to invest in late stages of projects, run the projects to completion or leaving the project and losing the invested capital.
Seasonal variations
Within the Corporate Finance operating segment, seasonal variations are significant. This means that sales and results of operations vary during the year. In Corporate Finance, transaction volumes are usually highest in the fourth quarter, followed by the second quarter, the third quarter and finally the first quarter.

Note 3. Catella's principal investments
Catella perceives significant potential in and has actively increased direct investments in property-related products. By active participation Catella can contribute to growth and credibility in addition to generating positive returns. The goal is for investments to generate minimum returns (IRR) of at least 20% over time. In addition to the dividend yield, Catella's objective is
to generate fee income on the entire invested capital from its development, management and advisory operations.
Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and France. The investments are made through subsidiaries and associated companies.
In order to structure its principal investments and support new property products, Catella has established an investment committee whose task is to evaluate the respective investments or divestments of assets.
For more information about Catella's principal investments under the 'Other' category, classified in the same way as the Group's financial position: Holdings in associated companies, Other non-current securities, Properties held for development and project properties and Current investments, see below.

Comments on Catella's principal investments in the first quarter 2021
Catella's principal investments are reported under the 'Other' category in the Consolidated Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position, see Notes 1 and 2. As per 31 March 2021, the principal investments totalled SEK 1,159 M, an increase of SEK 213 M on the previous quarter. Of the change, SEK 123 M comprises additional investments in Kaktus and SEK 76 M relate to investments in a new logistics property in Norrköping.

Property development projects
Seestadt MG+
Property development project located next to the central station in Mönchengladbach. The project consists of some 2,000 apartments on a land area totalling 140,000 m2 . The project started in 2017 and Catella acquired the first land parcel in 2019. Catella has already started construction of the first 248 apartments. The project is certified as the largest climate-smart neighbourhood in the largest German region Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Düssel-Terrassen
Property development project located in a suburb of Düsseldorf. The project consists of 800 apartments on a land area totalling 75,000 m2 . The project started in 2018 and Catella has acquired parts of the land parcel. The new blue print and urbanisation agreement are due for completion in mid-2021. The project is also certified as a climate-smart neighbourhood (the second largest in Nordrhein-Westfalen).
Kaktus
Micro-living residential project located in central Copenhagen. The project consists of 25,000 m2 including 495 apartments. The blueprint was approved in 2017 and planning approval obtained in 2019. Construction is proceeding as planned with expected completion at the end of June 2022.
As previously communicated, for the Kaktus project, Catella decided to initiate the construction phase and complete the project in order to realize the maximum potential for Catella's shareholders. The decision implies an increased investment commitment from Catella and has implied a re-classification of the holding in the property development company Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS from a holding in an associated company to shares in a subsidiary with full consolidation of Kaktus' Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The change means that a new Balance Sheet item, Properties held for development and project properties, has been included in the Group's financial position from 30 September 2019 onwards.
Infrahubs Fastighet 2
Infrahubs designs and builds efficient logistics facilities for retail and distribution. The Company has acquired a land parcel of 170,000 m2 in Norrköping, Sweden, and is constructing a logistics property of some 70,000 m2 . The property has been fully let to Postnord and the rental agreement spans 10 years. Construction is proceeding as planned with expected completion in January 2022.

Method and assumptions for cash flow projections and discount rates
The cash flow for each loan portfolio is presented in the table on the next page and the discount rates by portfolio are stated above. More information about the loan portfolio can be found on the following page and in Catella's annual report 2020.
Cash flow projections
The portfolio is measured according to the fair-value method, according to the definition in IFRS. In the absence of a functioning and sufficiently liquid market for essentially all investments, as well as for comparable subordinated investments, the measurement is performed by using the 'mark-tomodel' approach. This approach is based on forecasting cash flow until maturity for each investment on the basis of marketbased credit assumptions. Projected cash flows have been produced by external investment advisor Cartesia. The credit assumptions produced by Cartesia are based on historical performance of the individual investments and a broad selection of comparable transactions. In the projected cash flows, an assumption is made of the potential weakening of the credit variables. These do not include the full effect of a scenario, with low probability and high potential negative impact, such as the dissolution of the Eurozone, where one of the
countries in which EETI has its underlying investments, leaves the European monetary union or similar scenarios. Adjustments of cash flows impact the value and are presented in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.
Discount rates
The discount rates applied are set internally and are based on a rolling 24-month index of non-investment grade European corporate bonds as underlying assets (iTraxx). The discount rates per portfolio were also determined relative to other assets in the absence of market prices for the assets held by EETI. Each quarter, the Board of EETI evaluates forecast cash flows and assumptions in combination with market pricing of other assets, in order to make potential adjustments to discount rates in addition to index variations. Adjustments to discount rates affect this value and are stated in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.
Risks and uncertainties relating to loan portfolios
Most of the investments consist of holdings in and/or financial exposure to securities that are subordinate in terms of payment and are ranked lower than securities that are secured or represent ownership of the same asset class. Some investments also include structural features by which more
highly ranked securities that are secured or represented by ownership of the same asset class are prioritized in instances of default or if the loss exceeds predetermined levels. This could lead to interruptions in Catella's expected revenue flow from its investment portfolio. For more information, see Note 22 in the Annual Report for 2020.
Clean-up call
A clean-up call affects all sub-portfolios and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the sub-portfolio when the outstanding loans have been repaid and are less than 10% of the issued amount. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below 10% of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. The design also means that the investor avoids ending up with small, long-term cash flows until the portfolio has been repaid.
Time call
The time call affects sub-portfolio Lusitano 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the sub-portfolio at a specific point in time, and from time to time subsequently.

Pastor 2
According to the earlier forecast, the issuer would exercise its clean-up call in the third quarter 2019, which has not occurred. As of the third quarter 2019, the value of the underlying loans falls below 10% implying that Catella judges that a repurchase will take place at the latest in the fourth quarter 2022. Catella considers the credit risk to be low, although the precise
timing of the exercise of the option is difficult to forecast as it is determined by several unknown factors relating to the issuer.
Lusitano 5
The forecast cash flows for the sub- portfolio Lusitano 5, assume that the issuer will not utilise its time call. However, the discount rate was increased in the fourth quarter 2020 to reflect the probability that the issuer will exercise its option to repurchase Lusitano 5
at an amount of some EUR 3.3 M. This probability is expected to increase in the second quarter 2021, and in the event that the issuer exercises the option, this would imply impairment of the value of some EUR 2 M.
Catella continuously monitors the issuing bank in order to evaluate the probability of the option being exercised.

Note 5. The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value
In accordance with IFRS 7, financial instruments are recognized on the basis of fair value hierarchically with three different levels. Classification is based on the input data used for measuring instruments. 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 in 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 2020.
The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 31 March 2021 are stated in the following table.

First quarter 2021
Operating profit was SEK -5 M (-29) and financial items totalled SEK -2 M (17), of which SEK -3 M relates to negative exchange rate effects from the revaluation of open exchange rate positions in SEK.
Profit/loss for the period totalled SEK -8 M (-14).
Catella Bank divested its holding in Class A shares in Visa in March and cash settlement took place in April. Operating gains totalled SEK 86 M. The reversal of the previous value adjustment of divested Class A shares in Visa and the value adjustment for the period of the remaining Class C preference shares in Visa amounted to SEK -80 M. The net effect of SEK 6 M was recognised in Other comprehensive income in the first quarter 2021.

Application of key performance indicators not defined by IFRS
The Consolidated Accounts of Catella are prepared in accordance with IFRS. See above for more information regarding accounting principles. IFRS defines only a limited number of performance measures. From the second quarter 2016, Catella applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) new guidelines for alternative performance measures. In summary, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future Definitions
profit progress, financial position or cash flow not defined by or specified in IFRS. In order to assist corporate management and other stakeholders in their analysis of Group progress, Catella presents certain performance measures not defined under IFRS. Corporate management considers that this information facilitates the analysis of the Group's performance. This additional information is complementary to the information provided by IFRS and does
not replace performance measures defined in IFRS. Catella's definitions of measures not defined under IFRS may differ from other companies' definitions. All of Catella's definitions are presented below. The calculation of all performance measures corresponds to items in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
