A vision worth investing in

Since Catena chose to focus on logistics properties in 2013, the vision has been clear – to link Scandinavia's cargo flows. Five companyspecific factors help generate value and show the way ahead.

Long-term customer relationships

Strong cash flow is safeguarded through long-term relationships with a wide range of customers, several of whom are among the largest players in the market and fill many societal functions. This provides Catena with a safe, stable foundation.

A focused business model

By focusing on strategically located logistics properties, Catena has established valuable specialist expertise and experience. This, paired with long-term ownership, safeguards Catena's strong market position and affords the company's customers a proactive partner that assumes responsibility over time.

The focus on sustainability enhances Catena's attractiveness

The ability to offer smart space and optimise flows with minimum impact is crucial in the energy transition as climate change contributes to greater vulnerability and makes efficient commerce essential. Circular business models create entirely new logistics needs.

A market-leading land bank Historically, Catena has successfully acquired undeveloped land with favourable future opportunities for establishing properties. This means that we now have a large land bank

in strategic logistics locations.

Sustainable, efficient project development

Development and refinement generate conditions for value growth in the existing portfolio or through new construction projects. Economies of scale are achieved through a focus on sustainable and efficient logistics properties connected to key logistics hubs.

Stable progress in a cautious market

Rental income rose to SEK 644 million, corresponding to an increase of 31 percent on the previous year. Net operating income rose to SEK 536 million, representing an increase of 36 percent. These results reflect Catena's capacity and strong position in a market that remained cautious during the quarter.

Catena's earnings per share from property management rose by 18 percent on the previous year, clearly reflecting the benefits of profitable investments made in the preceding year. A low loan-to-value ratio combined with strong cash flow creates a solid foundation, which enables us to act when the time is right. Catena completed many transactions in 2024, but in early 2025 there have been fewer dialogues and processes in the Swedish market and these are taking longer to conclude. We feel secure in our long-term approach and the strong position we hold, and we are continuing to work purposefully and patiently to carry on growing and creating value for our shareholders.

Activity is slightly higher in the Danish transaction market, and we are identifying more potential acquisitions that align more closely with our strategy. We have recently signed a contract to acquire a property in an attractive location in Køge, just south of Copenhagen. A logistics facility with an area of just over 26,000 m² will be completed there in the first quarter of 2026. This is a strategic investment that highlights our intention to continue growing in Denmark.

Property portfolio for the future

Operating activities at Catena are constantly in full swing to optimise the existing portfolio. This primarily involves enhancing energy efficiency

and optimising operations, and we are focusing on obtaining environmental certification for our properties. The target is for 100 percent of the Group's lettable area to be environmentally certified by 2030; we have already achieved 53 percent. An active approach to certification guarantees high sustainability performance via an established, transparent process. It is also an important tool for reducing emissions across both the construction and operational phases. The efforts we make to raise the standard of our properties and develop our processes contribute to strong earnings capacity, gradually creating a high-quality property portfolio that matches the future needs and requirements of our stakeholders.

The benefits of being local

Catena's regional presence in the Swedish and Danish markets allows us to grow with our customers and be an attentive, agile landlord. It was our longstanding relationship with the third-party logistics company Nowaste Logistics that made one of our current construction projects – Logistics Position Ramlösa in Helsingborg – possible from the outset, following our successful bid in a land allocation competition in partnership with them. Since construction started, a 17,000 m² facility has been built and Nowaste Logistics is already the tenant. Another lease was signed with the

same customer in March for approximately 21,000 m² relating to the current construction of another 42,000 m² facility. A letter of intent is already in place with Nowaste Logistics to lease all the area at that location. The company already operates at three of Catena's facilities at Logistics Position Tostarp and at a new facility in Jönköping.

Our highly engaged property management organisation is available to our customers on a day-to-day basis and pro-actively identifies new needs and opportunities. Our market presence is also key when it comes to creating new projects and business. We believe in cultivating relationships and fostering longterm collaboration. This ambition is particularly evident in the management changes recently announced by Catena, which emphasise a greater focus on management, new business initiatives and project development.

Proud of what we deliver

In our constantly changing business environment, I am proud of the results Catena continues to deliver. We have an almost unbeatable offer, clear objectives and employees who focus on the right things. This is what makes us the leader in logistics properties.

Helsingborg, April 2025 Jörgen Eriksson, CEO

Income and profit

Rental income

Rental income rose during the period by 31 percent to SEK 644 million (493), corresponding to SEK 875 per m² (853). In comparable portfolios, rental income increased by 2.2 percent year-on-year. The remaining increase in income is derived from completed projects and the effect of transactions.

Property expenses

Property expenses amounted to SEK -108 million (-99), corresponding to SEK 147 per m² (171). In comparable portfolios, property expenses

increased by 7.4 percent. The actual increase in expenses is attributable to the larger property portfolio, as well as to non-recurring expenses related to insurance cases. Expenses per square metre are lower, because the additional area derived from acquisitions and completed projects is more space-efficient and operationally optimised, with tenants bearing a larger share of the expenses.

The property portfolio has grown by 2 percent since the year-end, corresponding to 54,964 m² of lettable area.

Net financial items

Finance costs, excluding expenses for lease liabilities, amounted to SEK -135 million (-109) during the period. Interest expenses increased in absolute terms due to the larger loan portfolio. At the same time, the relative expense decreased due to lower margins and falling market interest rates. Interest amounting to SEK 13 million (16) was capitalised in projects during the period. For the same period, finance income amounted to SEK 8 million (13), largely consisting of interest on investments.

Quarter Rolling 12 months

Profit from property management

Profit

Profit from property management during the period rose by SEK 113 million to SEK 398 million compared with the preceding year – an increase of 40 percent.

The main reasons for the improved profit from property management are acquisitions, completed projects, lower relative finance costs and more efficient operation as a result of optimisation.

Profit for the period was SEK 426 million. Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 103 million (-199) and realised changes in value were SEK -2 million (0). Changes in yield, rent and vacancies are the reasons underlying the unrealised changes in value. For more information about measurement, see page 7. The change in the value of derivatives amounted to SEK 39 million (73) as a consequence of higher long-term market interest rates.

The unrealised changes in value are of an accounting nature and do not affect cash flow.

Customers and property portfolio

Strategy

Catena strives to create long-term customer relationships with profitable, financially stable tenants.

The strategy also involves willingness to enter into long-term leases with a maturity structure that is evenly distributed over time. This lowers the risk of material changes in the vacancy rate.

Customers range across several sectors and include pure logistics companies, wholesalers and retailers. The largest proportion comprises strong, well-known third-party logistics companies and food and beverage companies. This helps secure stable rental income over time.

Leases

Catena's leases usually contain index clauses for regulating the level of rent in line with CPI. The majority of the 445 leases in Sweden, which have a total contract value of SEK 2,115 million, include index clauses that utilise CPIs in their entirety to adjust the level of rent. Most of the 16 leases in Denmark, which have a contract value of SEK 445 million, contain various forms of floor-ceiling clauses linked to CPI.

Most of Catena's leases are based on triple or double net leases, meaning that costs such as for heating, power, water and property tax are paid by the tenant.

Customers

At the reporting date, Catena's rental income was derived from a total of 261 customers (278) with 461 leases (453). The ten largest tenants accounted for 54 percent (43) of income and had 79 leases (75) between them, with a WALE of 7.8 years (5.2). Catena's three largest tenants are DSV, the partly state-owned company DHL, and ICA, one of the leading retail companies. During the period, Menigo moved into the new property Dansered 1:69 in Landvetter, becoming one of Catena's ten largest tenants. DSV became Catena's largest tenant in the previous year following the acquisition of three major logistics facilities in Helsingborg, Landskrona and Horsens. The DSV Group is one of the biggest transport and logistics concerns in the world, with operations in over eighty countries. The facility in Landskrona is one of the largest logistics centres in the Nordic region, and the facility in Horsens is one of the largest in Europe. The three largest tenants hold 40 individual leases for 29 properties, providing a diversified rental structure linked to the individual tenant. Any vacancy risk is considered minor, as alternatives to the major logistics infrastructure properties that we offer are limited.

Properties

Catena develops and owns properties with a long-term approach. The strategy is based in part on the properties being in attractive locations that serve densely populated regions now and in the future, and on the properties being of a high quality in terms of functionality, sustainability and customer well-being. This approach boosts our chances of attracting and retaining customers over time.

Valuation

Catena's investment properties are recognised at the fair value amount of SEK 41,476 million (32,550). Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 103 million (-199) during the period and were attributable to changes in yield requirements, vacancy rates and renegotiated leases. This corresponds to 0.2 percent (-0.6) of the total portfolio value before adjustment. At the same time, the value was lower than in the preceding quarter due to the lower DKK exchange rate. As of the reporting date, Catena's properties were valued at a weighted average yield (exit yield) of 5.9 percent (5.8), compared with an EPRA NIY of 5.6 percent (5.6).

Each quarter, Catena carries out internal valuations of all its investment properties, which are used to determine the fair values recognised in the balance sheet. To verify the internal valuations, external valuations of the Company's properties are also carried out.

During the period, approximately 22 percent of the property portfolio was valued externally. As all property valuations contain assessment factors with varying degrees of uncertainty, a specific uncertainty interval per property is normally stated. These intervals are assumed to largely cancel each other out in the portfolio as a whole. This is confirmed by a comparison between the internal and external valuations of Catena's portfolio.

The parameters that significantly affect the value of a property include the rental trend and changes in the yield requirement. Operating expenses have significantly lower impact as any increase is largely re-invoiced to tenants. The following sensitivity analysis can be used to illustrate the impact of a change of +/-0.5 percent in yield and annual rent growth on fair value and the loan-to-value ratio. The calculation offers a simplified snapshot as a parameter rarely changes on its own.

Property development

Catena has an ambition to grow through investments in development projects. This includes both investments in extensions and refinements of existing properties, and new production and development of the company's land bank. By effectively managing the existing portfolio and developing modern new logistics properties, Catena generates value for all its stakeholders.

Land

Catena identifies and acquires undeveloped land at an early stage and works closely with all stakeholders to produce a zoning plan for the establishment of logistics facilities. The company has been working in this way for many years, with the result that it now has a potential land bank containing approximately 4.5 million m² in attractive logistics locations.

Proportion of zoned area, land bank

SEK 16.3 billion Potential investment volume

1.6 million m² Estimated lettable area

Existing development rights used for new construction in Linköping

Catena is building a new logistics facility in Linköping for San Sac. The facility is being built on a site with development rights at Catena's Mappen 4 property, which is located just east of Linköping and has nearby access to the E4 motorway. The building will be certified according to BREEAM Excellent and just over 9,800 m² in size. Catena has signed a 10-year lease with San Sac, a supplier of equipment systems for waste sorting and management. The company is a subsidiary of the international operator Sulo, which has its registered office in France.

A turf cutting ceremony, at which a tree was planted, was held on 10 April. Occupation is planned for March 2026.

New construction

Demand for modern, sustainable logistics properties has led to an imbalance between demand and the supply of attractive land, especially since zoning and planning processes are often lengthy. This phenomenon pushes land prices up, which highlights the value of Catena's land reserves and gives the company a unique competitive advantage.

Normally, we commence new projects only when we have signed a lease with a customer to ensure a good safety margin.

Development of existing portfolio

Catena works continuously to streamline and develop its existing portfolio. Our local presence and our own management organisation enables us to build close ties with our tenants and optimise conditions for continuous improvements to the properties over time. Catena applies an eternal horizon in its ownership and is constantly exploring new ways to raise standards and efficiency. In this way, we can reduce operating costs and our climate footprint, thereby improving the properties over time and making them more attractive to existing and new tenants.

Logistics properties are most often built on large land areas where there are opportunities for expansion. In step with growing cargo flows driven by, among other things, growth in e-commerce, our tenants often need to be able to expand an existing property to be able to handle larger volumes. Our ability to offer this strengthens our customer offering and growth opportunities, both for Catena and for our tenants.

Catena's sustainability activities

Significant events in the first quarter

  • Interim target of 50% of environmentally certified area achieved in 2025.
  • Our biggest new construction project to date, Hyltena 1:102, was certified according to BREEAM SE Excellent.
  • New calculation method for the climate impact of new construction projects. Carbon emissions are now reported in relation to the project budget and preliminary LCA rather than using an overall project benchmark.

The method provides more consistent CO2e reporting over time and enables more transparent reporting.

  • The Head of Sustainability, Amanda Thynell, joined the panel discussion 'ESG – is it a trend or here to stay?' at the Nordic Real Estate Forum 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia.
  • The Region Sweden East sustainability controller and sustainability coordinator attended the Business & Biodiversity network meeting organized by Ecogain.

Catena is halfway there!

In the first quarter of the year, we achieved the interim target of 50 percent of our lettable space being environmentally certified by 2025. The fact that we met this interim target just a few weeks into 2025 is a clear indication that our methodical approach is yielding results and is an important step towards achieving our long-term target of 100 percent environmentally certified space by 2030. The certification target was adopted in 2021, when Catena's overall sustainability targets were updated. The property Hyltena 1:102 in Jönköping

Developing, owning and managing logistics properties requires good access to capital. The combination of well-diversified financing with an attractive property portfolio generating strong cash flow makes room for continued sustainable growth.

Catena's financing strategy

Catena continually endeavours to achieve an appropriate capital structure that is guided by commercial considerations and governed by a finance policy that is approved and, when necessary, revised by the Board of Directors. Catena manages its financial position by following up selected key performance indicators that in various ways contribute to managing financial risks.

By working actively to maintain an adequate safety margin linked to the borrowing, equity ratio and interest coverage, we ensure a longterm attractive credit profile for investors and lenders. Together with strong cash flows from the existing portfolio and newly-developed properties, sustainable growth is generated for our stakeholders over a long period of time. In line with this objective, we endeavour to maintain a credit rating of at least Investment Grade.

Market situation

The situation became nuanced in the first quarter. Despite falling policy rates in both Sweden and Denmark, in line with the dovish attitude of the central banks, long-term interest rates fluctuated erratically as a result of greater

Capital structure

geopolitical and trade-policy uncertainty. The unconventional strategies employed by the US affected global sentiment, which had an impact on liquidity. However, the capital market remained selectively positive, in particular towards companies with strong cash flows and stable balance sheets. This creates good conditions for investment but also paves the way to continue to optimise the capital structure.

Financing

In the first quarter, Catena's external loan portfolio decreased by SEK 439 million as a result of currency effects and repayments. In the quarter, bank loans to a value of SEK 650 million were refinanced and a new bond of SEK 500 million was raised. Catena also terminated its rating contract with Nordic Credit Rating and therefore retains an external credit rating from Fitch Ratings.

At the reporting date, the loan-to-value ratio was 37.8 percent and secured liabilities amounted to 74 percent of the loan portfolio, which is equivalent to a secured loan-to-value ratio of 27.6 percent. The value of unencumbered assets was roughly 4 times that of unsecured debt, excluding the value of land.

In addition to Catena's own MTN programmes, there are also opportunities to borrow secured capital market financing through Svensk FastighetsFinansiering (SFF). SFF holds a credit rating equivalent to BBB+ from NCR. Read more at Svenskfastighetsfinansiering.se.

Liquidity

At the reporting date, cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised loan commitments, amounted to SEK 3,587 million, and there was also an overdraft facility of SEK 200 million. Catena strives to maintain sufficient liquidity,

including 12 months' free cash flow, to cover maturing loans for the same period. Catena also ensures that unutilised loan commitments are always available to cover outstanding commercial papers.

Debt and interest maturity

Catena strives for predictable financing and therefore seeks a diversified portfolio of financing sources with a varied debt maturity structure. Within 12 months, loans of approximately SEK 1.4 billion will fall due. Approximately 45 percent are bank loans and 55 percent are both secured and unsecured bonds. The average debt maturity was 5.0 years (3.6) at the reporting date. To achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure and thereby manage interest-rate risks, Catena utilises both fixed-rate loans and interest rate derivatives. At the end of the period fixed-rate loans and interest-rate swaps amounted to 63 percent of total interest-bearing liabilities, thereby mitigating the impact of changes in short-term market interest rates. The average period of fixed interest is 2.8 years (2.9).

Derivatives

In the first quarter, a forward-starting interest-rate swap with a nominal value of SEK 700 million was initiated, featuring a fixed interest rate of 2.47 percent and a maturity of eight years. At the reporting date, the fair value of the derivatives belonging to level 2 of the valuation hierarchy was SEK 199 million (281), and the change in value had an impact of SEK 39 million (73) on the income statement.

Exchange rate fluctuations in relation to DKK had a negative impact on earnings in the quarter, attributable to the value of net assets in Denmark. At the reporting date, Danish exposure amounted to DKK 2,776 million, of which 13 percent was secured. Currency exposure is assessed on an ongoing basis by the Board and management.

The green transition

Catena is committed to adapting its operations to the company's long-term sustainability targets. Catena updated its green financing framework with influences from the latest EU Directives in 2024. The aim is to encourage financing for investments in properties and projects that promote environmental and climate transition. At the reporting date, the green

component of the loan portfolio amounted to 76 percent, which means that Catena achieved its target for at least 50 percent to be classified as green financing by 2025.

Market outlook

Logistics property trends

The driving forces behind logistics properties are based on global megatrends that have resulted in a more complex, but also more flexible supply chain. Technical developments have enabled new consumer behaviour, creating a need for new ways of storing and reselling products. Between 2006 and 2024, digital commerce increased from SEK 14 billion to SEK 160 billion, and now accounts for approximately 15 percent of all retail trade. The parcel market in Sweden and Denmark is characterised by high concentration, with a few dominant actors controlling large parts of the market. This creates an entry threshold for new actors, making the market difficult for newcomers to penetrate, but also more stable for those that are already established. In Sweden, the supply of logistics space has outstripped demand in some locations, while there is a balance in others or even a deficit.

The transaction volume for storage and logistics in Sweden in 2024 was SEK 25.2 billion, equivalent to around 18 percent of total volume, a fall from SEK 27.5 billion in the preceding year. The reduction is largely attributable to a fall in foreign investment. The proportion of foreign capital fell from 43.6 percent in 2023 to 19.4 percent in 2024. The yield for prime logistics fell from 5.25 percent in 2023 to 5.0 percent in 2024. In Denmark, the total transaction volume for the segment was DKK 10.7 billion in 2024, equivalent to just over 20 percent of total volume, an increase from DKK 7 billion in the preceding year. The yield trend in Denmark was similar to that in Sweden.

Macro trends

After a period of intensively fighting inflation, the central banks have switched their focus to mitigating the economic downturn. In the first quarter of 2025, the Riksbank lowered its policy rate again to 2.25 percent. Danmarks Nationalbank, the central bank of Denmark, followed suit with 2.35 percent. Five-year swap rates rose slightly during the quarter. At the end of March, they were 2.65 percent in Sweden and 2.53 percent in Denmark, an indication of the market uncertainty about inflation and future monetary policy.

The geopolitical landscape remains complex. Growing trade policy tension, related in particular to the more transaction-based,

protectionist attitude in the US, is affecting capital flows and willingness to invest. The increasing political fragmentation in Europe also presents challenges for long-term investment, particularly in sectors that rely on stable regulations and access to financing. Activity in the primary market increased during the first quarter, driven by expectations of a more balanced interest-rate environment and a stable inflation outlook. However, the market became more hesitant at the start of the second quarter as new trade barriers and global uncertainty dampened risk appetite.

Companies with robust cash flows and a clear business model continue to maintain positive relationships with the banking market and enjoy good access to credit. In an environment where regulatory changes may reshape the playing field, predictability and long-term relationships are valued highly. For example, the extensive Omnibus package, which affects capital requirements, transparency and sustainability reporting, has an impact on how resources are distributed within the financial system and on capital flows to various sectors. In this climate, Catena continues to identify promising opportunities to strengthen its position by means of selective investments, optimisation of the capital structure and adherence to our business concept.

The table presents Catena's earnings capacity on a 12-month basis. This table should not be deemed equivalent to a forecast. The intention is to reflect a normal year. Consequently, actual outcomes may differ because of decisions that affect the outcome positively or negatively in relation to normal years, such as unforeseen events. The presented earnings capacity does not include any assessment of changes in rent, vacancy or interest rate. Catena's income statement is also affected by changes in value, changes in the property portfolio and changes in the value of derivative instruments. None of this has been taken into account in the current earnings capacity. The net operating surplus is based on contracted leases and normalised property costs for the current portfolio at the reporting date, with the addition of leased projects completed within 12 months.

Finance costs are calculated based on Catena's average interest rate level, and includes the impact of interest rate hedges for outstanding loan debt at the reporting date. Deductions are made from this figure for capitalised interest attributable to projects in progress, as well as standard interest income at a normalised cash level. The tax is calculated at a standard rate in accordance with the tax rate at any given time.

Accounting and valuation policies

Catena AB draws up its consolidated accounts in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and also with interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the European Commission for application in the EU.

The Parent Company applies the same accounting policies as the Group, with due consideration for the recommendations of the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board: RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities.

This interim report was drawn up in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting for the Group and according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company. The accounting policies are unchanged compared with the annual report for the preceding year.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 16A appear in other parts of the interim report as well as in the financial statements.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of Catena's interest-bearing liabilities totalled SEK 16,505 million (13,139) at 31 March 2025, while the fair value is assessed to amount to SEK 16,512 million (13,114). The difference between the carrying amount

and fair value is primarily attributable to the effect of changes in market interest rates on the value of fixed-interest liabilities. For other financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value. Catena also has outstanding interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value. The fair value of these derivatives amounted to SEK 199 million (281) at 31 March 2025. The measurement is classified at level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

Risks and uncertainties

To draw up the accounts according to generally accepted accounting principles, management must make assessments and assumptions that affect the asset and liability items and the income and expense items disclosed in the annual accounts and also other information provided. Actual outcomes may diverge from these assessments. Catena's financial risks are described in Note 21 on pages 113–115 and on pages 39–40 of the 2024 Annual Report.

The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer certify that this report provides a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position and results and describes material risks and uncertainties that the Group and the companies included in the Group face.
