Chief Executive's review

Continued high net leasing and increased earnings in a market in the limelight

I sum up 2022 as a good year for us, where net operating income grew by 14 per cent and the surplus ratio was strong at 68 per cent. The property management income for the year increased by 5 per cent to SEK 1,081m. We increased the occupancy rate to 91 per cent and our net leasing reached SEK 77m, which is our strongest net leasing ever. This is a testament to our active, successful efforts and the strength of our market.

The year was characterised by a strong business focus where we improved several of our KPIs. Our revenues increased by 12 per cent, attributable to active letting work, high retention rates, completed projects and strategic acquisitions. Among other things, we completed the new Clarion Hotel in Umeå with a total investment of SEK 390m and additional income of SEK 23 million. We acquired and took possession of 28 properties for over SEK 2.2bn. These have both rental and development potential and an initial yield above 5 per cent. Our surplus ratio has increased over the past five years by 4 percentage points to 68 per cent, which is something I am very proud of. During the year, we invested SEK 800m in our tenant adaptations at an average yield-on-cost of 9.5 per cent. These investments increase the quality of our portfolio while allowing us to sign longer leases at higher rent levels. The average contract term for commercial premises has increased in recent years, and is now at 4.3 years.

2022 was affected by the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates, which led to a new business climate with new financial conditions. Regardless of the challenges mentioned above, I am very positive about our future. The world's eyes are on our part of Sweden, where the green transition and large investments in Swedish base industry are accelerating economic growth. I am convinced that these investments will not slow down, but rather will be strengthened moving forward. Increased economic growth is leading to greater demand for attractive premises, higher rent levels and reduced vacancies. As a market-leading commercial property company in northern Sweden, with our local teams, we are positioned to take advantage of the business opportunities that the greater demand for commercial premises and residential properties entails.

We are seeing increased financial costs as a result of a strong increase in the key interest rate by 275 reference points in the second half of 2022. Despite this, we increased the year's property management income by 5 per cent to SEK 1,081m. Our loan-to-value ratio is 51.9 per cent and 80 per cent of our financing is comprised of bank loans. We have two unsecured bonds totalling SEK 1.4bn, which mature during June and September. The aim is to refinance them in part or in whole during the spring. If the financial conditions on the capital market for this are not available, we have available credit in banks and unused credits.

"The eyes of the world are on our part of Sweden."

Unrealised changes in value for the year are SEK -150m and SEK -356m for the quarter. The average valuation yield increased by 18 reference points to 5.74 per cent during the quarter, which is offset by future net operating income, which increased as a result of new transactions and higher rent indexation. To reflect future cyclical uncertainty, we have adjusted our long-term vacancy rate upwards. All properties were valued by an external party for the fourth quarter.

In order to create the most favorable situation for the company and the owners given the new financial conditions, the board proposes a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share (3.52). This is to both protect a strong balance sheet and to be able to take advantage of future business opportunities.

We have a good diversification of tenants in our portfolio, where more than 50 per cent of our leasable area is offices and 28 per cent of our rental income come from tenants with tax-funded operations. The announced upward index adjustment of 10.9 per cent for 2023 naturally has an impact on our tenants. However, we see that the majority are well equipped for this and in terms of the payments for the first quarter of 2023, they follow the same payment pattern as for 2022.

Share information

We are focusing on a reduced climate footprint, optimised energy use, increased security in our cities, re-use and a stronger employer brand. All to become an even more profitable and sustainable company. During the year, we exceeded our energy efficiency target with a decrease of 3.3 per cent, where the fourth quarter showed the largest savings. This is by systematically optimising the properties' operations as well as investing in energy-efficient technology and own energy production, where we commissioned six solar panel installations during the year. Our self-produced energy volume increased by 26 per cent compared with 2021.

I am proud that we have delivered yet another strong result that demonstrates our ability to act. We find ourselves in an environment with new challenging financial conditions, where our business focus and strong market are crucial to continue creating long-term value. I look bright on the future.

Sustainability

We invest in our property portfolio to make it more attractive, more resource-efficient and more climate-friendly. We want to take financial, environmental and social responsibility throughout the business model, which is also what is requested by our tenants, employees and shareholders. Our climate targets have been reviewed and approved by the Science Based Target initiative, SBTi. These targets mean that we must cut our carbon dioxide emissions by at least 50 per cent in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 in order to reach net zero by 2045, and take responsibility for our impact in Scope 3.

Climate target follow-up, SBTi

During 2022, we recalculated our emissions from base year 2018, using an improved method for refrigerant leakage and allocated energy-related emissions within scope 2 to scope 3, category 3 according to updated recommendations from the property owner association (Fastighetsägarna). In addition, the input data quality has improved with more detailed statistics from our suppliers.

A complete emissions statement is presented in the Annual Report for 2022.

Climate target follow-up, SBTi

Scope 1 and 2

Today, our emissions in Scope 1 and 2 consist mostly of emissions from purchased district heating, emissions that are highly dependent on the building's heating needs. We are actively working on energy efficiency improvements that are linked to properties' operational economy and tenants' indoor climate to halve scopes 1 and 2. Power optimisation is becoming an increasing issue where our energy suppliers, like us, have ambitious climate targets; our suppliers' green transition to reduce the

climate impact of energy production is an important factor on our path to cutting emissions in half. Our Scope 2 emissions are presented according to the market-based methodology of the GHG protocol.

Scope 3

Today, we present annual data from our business travel and private cars, which is a very small part of our emissions. Our climate survey showed that construction production is the major emission item within scope 3 that we have the greatest control over and we are working to ensure data collection. Our quarterly report presents the measures we planned during the year to increase the possibilities for measurement as well as measures to reduce our Scope 3 emissions.

Actual energy use by quarter

Comment and analysis

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we continued to optimise our energy use and, accumulated for 2022, we had an efficiency improvement of -3.3 per cent and we thereby reached our energy savings target.

Energy efficiency improvement is always high on our agenda and we reviewed certain routines and measures during the year, both temporary and urgent. In various forms of networking and collaboration, we work together with the industry to continue to improve and optimise our own and our tenants' energy use and power requirements.

We do not include district cooling in the energy efficiency improvement target as district cooling accounts for a small part of our total energy use. In addition, data quality and coverage for district cooling statistics are of lower quality, which means that data are more likely to be forecast.

Comment and analysis

Energy costs and climate impact (scope 2) are directly linked to actual energy use. The diagram shows actual energy use (not normal-year-adjusted district heating) divided by total leasable area. Actual energy use largely depends on outdoor temperature, hours of sunshine and wind. The power costs are a large part of the total energy cost, which further strengthens the link between cost and outdoor temperature.

In order to continue to improve efficiency and work systematically to secure long-term goals, we want to involve tenants even more clearly through the green lease agreements, and find common solutions and thereby create a commitment to an energy efficiency improvement that benefits both parties.

General economic analysis

Energy areas

During the year, Europe experienced a volatile energy market with high spot prices and a risk of a shortage of electricity. We are actively working on the issue from multiple angles where the following areas are in focus and strong competitive advantages:

Long-term strategy for electricity purchases. Provides predictable electricity prices for up to 5 years. In volatile times, our strategy generates a very advantageous electricity price.

Stable supply of energy. 74 per cent of our portfolio is located in electricity areas SE 1 and SE 2. These electricity areas are net exporters of fossil-free electricity.

Cold climate. In our geographical location, energy is always a topical issue. Energy efficiency improvement and operational optimisation are a high priority in our everyday lives.

The green transition and the energy shortage. The green revolution in our region means that we will see more collaborative efforts between different industries to increase flexibility in the electricity market and the availability of renewable energy. It is important that we all reduce our use of electricity, although the starting point for us in northern Sweden is much better than in southern Sweden and Europe.

We and the tenant. Energy efficiency improvement and optimisation create a good indoor climate for our tenants, while reducing energy costs and electricity consumption and minimising greenhouse gas emissions.

Note 2 Property costs

The property costs for the quarter were SEK 203m (179). The increase in costs is related to a larger property portfolio and partly higher tariff-based costs. Of the total property costs, SEK 6m (4) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.

Note 3 Operating surplus

The operating surplus was SEK 365m (321), representing a surplus ratio of 66 per cent (65). For comparable properties, our operating

surplus increased by 10 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year.

Note 4 Central administration

The central administration expense was SEK 37m (22). Central administration includes Group-wide costs for staff functions, such as IT, annual reports, auditors' fees, legal advice and so on. The item includes a cost of SEK 10m, which refers to feasibility studies on projects that were not realised.

Note 5 Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter were SEK -115m (-49). The higher cost is related to higher market interest rates and larger interest-bearing liabilities. The interest costs for the quarter, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 2.7 per cent (1.2).

Note 6 Property management income

Property management income for the quarter, i.e., income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 213m (250). This is a decrease of 15 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, property management income decreased by 7 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year.

Note 7 Changes in value, properties

The average valuation yield at the end of the quarter was 5.74 per cent (5.44). The unrealised change in value for the quarter was SEK -356m (874), the realised change in value was SEK 9m. The increased yield requirement is mostly offset by increased future net operating income as a result of upwards index adjustment and increased rental income from new transactions. Higher long-term vacancies have a negative impact on unrealised value. For more information, see Note 11. The market value was SEK 31,136m (27,993) at 31 December.

During the quarter, 2 properties (5) were acquired while 1 property (3) was divested.

Current tax was SEK 50m (6) and deferred tax was SEK -16m (-190). The change in current tax is attributable to a tax reduction for equipment purchases made in 2021 and the change in deferred tax is attributable to the unrealised changes in value.

The period January-December 2022

Property management income for the period, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 1,081m (1,030). The operating surplus was SEK 1,469m (1,289), representing a surplus ratio of 68 per cent (68).

  • Revenue for the reporting period was SEK 2,209m (1,967) representing an economic occupancy rate of 91 per cent (89).
  • Total property costs were SEK 740m (678).

Net financial items for the period were SEK -298m (-184). The profit before tax was SEK 1,045m (2,872). Changes in the value of properties had a negative impact of SEK 140m (positive: 1,806) while changes in the value of interest rate derivatives had a positive impact of SEK 104m (36). Profit after tax was SEK 830m (2,324), of which SEK -199m (-495) refers to deferred tax and SEK -16m (-53) to current tax.

Note 8 Changes in value, derivatives

The portfolio of interest rate derivatives has been measured at fair value. If the contracted interest rate deviates from the market rate, a theoretical fair value gain or loss arises on the interest rate derivatives. The change in value has not been realised and does not affect cash flow.

During the quarter, unrealised changes in value on derivatives totalled SEK -13m (15), which have been fully recognised in the income statement. The change in value is attributable to a shorter time to maturity.

Note 9 Profit before tax

The profit before tax was SEK -147m (1,149). The change in profit is mainly due to negative unrealised property values compared with the previous year.

Note 10 Tax

The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 20.6 per cent. There are no tax loss carry-forwards in the Group and otherwise there are untaxed reserves of SEK 467m (504). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax value by SEK 16,195m (14,388). Deferred tax has been calculated at 10,956 (10,216). The difference is attributable to deferred tax on asset acquisitions.

Diös has no ongoing tax disputes.

Our tenants

Tenants

Our tenant base is well diversified geographically and in terms of industry. There were 3,219 premises leases (3,036) and there were 2,232 residential leases (1,909). The ten largest tenants represent 17 per cent (16) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 31 December, 28 per cent of contracted rental income came from tenants engaged in activities on behalf of the central government, county councils, local authorities or activities funded with municipal school vouchers. The share of commercial green leases is 11 per cent of the annual contract value.

Net leasing

Net leasing for the quarter was SEK 18m (6) and the total for the period was SEK 77m (30). Major lettings during the quarter were to Försäkringskassan in Vale 17, Umeå , Nordic Performance Center in Sirius 25, Skellefteå and ABB in Rind 5, Umeå.

Lease term

The average lease term for commercial premises at 31 December was 4.3 years (4.3).

Vacancies

At 31 December, the economic vacancy rate was 9 per cent (9) while the vacant area was 12 per cent (13). Adjusted for project-related and non-leasable vacancies1, the physical vacancy rate was 10 per cent. Economic vacancies are highest in office and retail premises while physical vacancies are highest in office and industrial premises.

1Project-related and non-leasable vacancies are sites that have been vacated for new builds and conversion, plus premises that have already been leased but are not yet occupied.

PROPERTY VALUE PER CATEGORY

PROPERTY VALUE PER CITY

Comments on the balance sheet

Note 11 Investment properties and property value

The property portfolio is concentrated to central locations in ten priority cities in northern Sweden. The portfolio is well diversified and primarily consists of residential and office properties and premises for urban service. At the end of the period, the portfolio comprised 91 per cent (92) commercial properties and 9 per cent (8) residential properties based on rental value by type of premises.

Property value

All properties are externally valued by CBRE at each quarterly closing with the aim of determining the individual value of the properties in the event of a sale. Any portfolio effects are thus not taken into account. The valuations are based on a cash flow model with an individual assessment for each property of both future earning capacity and market return requirements. In assessing a property's future earning capacity, in addition to the inflation assumption of 4 per cent for 2023 and 2 per cent in the long term, the estimated market rents have been taken into account in contract maturity, occupancy rate and property costs. The market's return requirements are determined by an analysis of completed property transactions for properties with a similar standard and location. Projects and project properties have been valued according to the same principle but with deductions for remaining investment. Development rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value SEK/sq.m. gross floor space for established development rights. The average value of the development rights in the valuation is around SEK 1,400/sq.m. gross floor space. The valuations are in accordance with IFRS 13 level 3.

Note 12 Equity

Equity at 31 December was SEK 12,102m (11,823). The equity ratio was 38.1 per cent (40.2), which exceeds the target of 35 per cent. During the year, the remaining minority interest of 28 per cent of Åre Centrum AB was acquired.

Capital structure

At 31 December 2022, 38 per cent (40) of Diös' total assets of SEK 31,733m was funded through equity, 51 per cent (50) through debt securities and 11 per cent (10) through other items.

Note 13 Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 16,259m (14,748). The change is due to a larger property portfolio as a result of acquisitions made and project investments. Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 13,010m (9,322) relates to bank financing, SEK 790m (1,090) to covered bonds, SEK 570m (2,613) to commercial paper and SEK 1,900m (1,750) to unsecured bonds. Amortised cost of the commercial paper was SEK 568m (2,610). Future refinancing will normally be completed 3-9 months before the maturity date. Maturing bank and bond loans of SEK 1,500m until May 2023 are refinanced while the remaining maturity of the year is under renegotiation. At the end of the period, the loan-to-value ratio in the Group was 51.9 per cent (48.6). The secured loan-to-value ratio amounted to 44.0 percent (33.0). The average annual interest rate, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 3.2 per cent (1.1) at

the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the period was 4.6 times (6.4).

Derivatives

Of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 4,500m (4,500) has been interest hedged through derivative instruments. At 31 December 2022, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 143m (38). The financial instruments limit the impact of changes in interest rates on our average borrowing cost. All financial instruments are measured at fair value and are classified in Level 2 in accordance with IFRS 13, which means that the measurement is based on observable market data (see Note 22 in the Annual Report 2021). Changes in value are recognised through profit or loss.

Fixed-rate terms and loan maturities

The average fixed-rate term, including derivatives, was 0.8 years (0.9) and the average loan maturity 2.4 years (2.0). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 570m (2,913) is subject to fixed interest rates, of which SEK 570m (2,613) refers to commercial paper.

Financial key ratios

The interim reports use non-IFRS KPIs. We consider that these measures provide valuable additional information for investors, analysts and the company's management, as they enable the evaluation of relevant trends and the company's performance. As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with the measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be viewed as substitutes for IFRS-defined measures. The following table presents non-IFRS measures unless otherwise stated. Definitions of these measures are provided on page 31 and in the descriptions of the purpose of the various KPIs in the annual report for 2021. The financial targets for 2022 adopted by the Board are presented on page 22 of this report.

Taxonomy reporting

Reporting under Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation

Our entire operation is covered by the EU Taxonomy Regulation. In the long term, it will require full information on the extent to which our activities are compatible with the criteria defined in relation to the EU's six environmental objectives.

The six environmental objectives are:

    1. Climate change mitigation
    1. Climate change adaptation
    1. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
    1. Transition to a circular economy
    1. Pollution prevention and control
    1. Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems

Our assessment

Our business is assessed to be exposed to the EU taxonomy, and the established environmental objective of limiting climate impact, Climate.change mitigation. We see that we can contribute to the climate transition in society through, among other things, energy efficiency in our properties and purchasing renewable energy, but also promoting a low climate footprint in connection with new construction and renovations. We have assessed that our primary economic activities constitute the acquisition and ownership of properties 7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings.

For 2022, we choose to report the combined data for all activities. Current assumptions and interpretations may be adjusted and reporting increased as the legislation is clarified.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees at 31 December 2022 was 157 (144), of whom 66 were women (61). The majority of our employees, 102 people (95), work in our business units and the rest at our head office in Östersund. Our Pick-Pack-Post concept currently employs 5 people (5), of whom 5 were women (5).

Risks and uncertainties

Effects of the military conflict in Ukraine

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in mid-February 2022 and the resulting humanitarian disaster is a major setback for the world. Sanctions against Russia and changed world trade affect global flows of goods and capital as well as energy prices. The most obvious effect in the immediate future is rising inflation, higher interest rates and increased risk premiums on the capital market, which can result in higher financing costs compared with the conditions at the beginning of the year.

In addition, there are clear downward risks for economic growth and that the supply of goods and products where the conflict countries had large production contributions is restricted. For our part, this can lead to higher costs for production materials, supply shortages and longer lead times in the project business, in particular.

General risks

Material risks and uncertainties affecting the business include market and business intelligence, the business model, the properties, cash flow, financing and sustainability.

Demand and prices in the Swedish property market are influenced by the level of economic activity globally and in Sweden as well as by inflation and interest rates.

Our properties are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, and changes in value are recognised in the income statement. The effects of changes in value affect the income statement and balance sheet and thus also the related KPIs. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified portfolio of centrally located properties in growth cities.

Equity ratio, % 33.2 38.1 42.4
Loan-to-value ratio, % 56.1 51.9 48.3

Cash flow consists of income and expenses and is primarily attributable to rent levels, property costs, occupancy rates and interest rates. A change in these items affects cash flow and thus also earnings. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified tenant structure, good cost control and active interest rate risk management.

1 Annualised.

Access to financing is the biggest financial risk and is essential to running a property business. The risk is limited through good relations with banks, good diversification, access to the capital market, and strong finances and KPIs.

A sustainable business model and sustainable behaviour are essential to creating long-term value. Through good internal control and procedures, we take responsibility for building a sustainable long-term business.

For more information on risks and risk management, see Diös' annual report for 2021, pages 58-60, 74 and 78.

Related-party transactions

There were no significant related party transactions in the period. Those related-party transactions which did occur are deemed to have been concluded on market terms.

Seasonal variations

Costs for operations and maintenance are subject to seasonal variations. Cold weather and snow affect the costs for heating, snow clearance and roof snow removal. The costs are normally higher in the first and fourth quarters.

Accounting policies

We comply with EU-adopted IFRS standards and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the parent company is prepared in accordance with RFR 2, Financial Reporting for Legal Entities, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. All property-related transactions in the fourth quarter have been recognised based on calculations of the preliminary consideration. The calculation of the final consideration will be completed in the first quarter of 2023. The accounting policies applied in preparing the interim report are consistent with the accounting policies applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements and annual accounts for 20211, not 1.

Other changed and new IFRS standards that enter into force during the year, or the coming periods are not assessed as having any significant impact on the consolidated reports and financial statements.
