Chief Executive's review

A historically strong operating profit in a troubled world

During the third quarter, we had a strong operating profit with a surplus ratio of 73 per cent and an occupancy rate of 92 per cent. The operating surplus increased by 16 per cent and income increased by 11 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2022. Our property management income was SEK 221m, a decrease of 24 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2022. We are navigating and working actively in a changing world.

We see a continued strong interest in establishment in our cities among both new and existing tenants and we are taking advantage of the power and momentum that prevail in the market that the green transition creates. For the period January-September, we had a higher operating surplus equivalent to 15 per cent and higher income equivalent to 13 per cent compared to the same period in 2022. The occupancy rate for the period January to September 2023 is 92 per cent, compared with 91 per cent for the same period last year, and property management income is SEK 673m, which is a decrease of 24 per cent compared with the same period last year.

Both short-term and long-term market interest rates have continued to rise, which affects our interest expenses while at the same time experiencing a generally more cautious bank and capital market. Nevertheless, we have refinanced both bonds of SEK 475m and bank loans of SEK 1.7bn, which shows strong confidence in Diös. Regarding our loan maturities during the first quarter of 2024, we have verbal agreements with our banks regarding the refinancing of the entire volume. Market interest rates have also had an upward impact on property yields, which has a negative impact on our property values. We are adjusting the yield on average by 10 bps between the second and third quarter, which resulted in an impairment of 0.6 per cent, equivalent to SEK 204m. The largest adjustment is taking place in the residential segment.

The greatest focus in the short term is on ensuring our financial KPIs, which is why we are prioritising and adapting our investments and expenses based on the prevailing conditions. Maintaining a strong balance sheet and a strong cash flow are important in turbulent times. Regarding the interest coverage ratio, we take measures to keep it above 2 times.

Northern Sweden is receiving attention from the media, politicians and the business community. A sprawling economic picture on the different ends of Sweden is described in the industry paper in the same breath that northern Sweden is called the country's

economic engine. In general, employment is expected to decline next year in the whole of Sweden, except in central and northern Norrland. The recently released report Young Professional Attraction Index 2023 indicates an increased interest in our market with companies like LKAB and SSAB entering the list of the 100 most attractive employers for young people in the country for the first time. The municipalities we operate in have clear goals for increased relocation to our cities, which we encourage.

It is within offices and at our office tenants that we see the strongest development and the greatest potential in our business. This is also where we are allocating the most resources. The 2023 office report from the property owners' association, Fastighetsägarna, which specifically addresses our market, describes the office as the city's engine and social hub, and notes that most people choose to be on site in the office most of their working hours. The report is fully in line with our perceptions of our tenants and we see no signs of a desire to reduce their premises.

Attractive workplaces in our cities generate increased flows of people.

On the contrary, the office is becoming more and more important. Attractive workplaces in our cities provide increased flows of people and provide the conditions for more lettings in other segments as well. Exciting examples of office rentals during the quarter are Sigma Industry North in Umeå and the Swedish Public Prosecutor's Office in Luleå. I also want to highlight Clas Ohlson's return to Sundsvall's city centre, which shows that large actors see an increased value in being centrally located in our cities. Our ongoing projects are proceeding according to plan and during September the building permit was granted for stage three of our project Västra Stranden, the district that is becoming the new green entrance to Luleå and where the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, Försäkringskassan, will be the largest tenant.

When it comes to the production of new homes, virtually no housing projects are being started in Sweden. Northern Sweden, i.e. our cities and their surrounding working region, is facing a major urban transformation with up to 100,000 more residents within a 10-year period. This creates great opportunities for our business, where we see ourselves as an enabler for homes with development rights in attractive locations. As a major player, we are of course involved in influencing politicians to get the construction of homes moving through changes in the rules and investment in infrastructure. We have around 100,000 sq.m. of development rights, including residential units most of which have completed detailed development plans at the moment, and we are working to complete a further

30,000 sq.m. of development rights per year in the near future.

Sustainability is an important and integrated part of the entire Diös business. Our climate targets mean that we are seeking to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2030, in order to reach net zero by 2045. One way to further strengthen our business long term, both on the basis of a stronger offering and a lower risk, is to continuously move the portfolio on the green scale. By managing and targeting the work on environmental certification in the existing portfolio, energy efficiency and climate risk, we have made 16 environmental certifications up to the end of the third quarter, having dedicatedly improved energy performance in multiple properties and carried out flood analyses together with management in four cities.

Living close to our tenants, especially in turbulent times, is a proven success factor for us. Our good relations with our tenants are visible in our latest customer satisfaction index, where the average remains high at 70. The majority of our tenants are generally stable operations with high payment capacity. 54 per cent of our rental income comes from offices and 30 per cent are government operations.

In recent weeks, I have been privileged to share both international knowledge and national insights regarding ongoing conflicts, subsequent prospects and how they affects us and everyone else. That these are troubling times is absolutely clear. My number one task at the moment as the leader of one of Sweden's largest property companies, in a market with an exceptional opportunity for growth, is to mobilise my team in the daily ongoing operations and at the same time through long-term strategic work aim high for a bright future. I am particularly proud of our strong operating profit with good business and a willingness to work cross-functionally throughout the company. This makes us strong even in tough times.

calculated without climate offset.

Sustainability

We are a property company where sustainability work is a natural part of the business. Through clear sustainability goals, we run the business in a responsible way and create long-term business.

Environment & climate: energy

Our climate target means that we seek to reduce our direct carbon dioxide emissions and emissions from purchased energy by at least 50 per cent by 2030 compared with 2018, in order to reach net zero by 2045. Energy consumption and power utilisation are influenced by external factors such as temperatures, precipitation, winds and sunlight. Therefore, we are continuously working to reduce our consumption and lower power peaks in order to keep our energy costs and climate impact down. For the period, the reduction of energy consumption was -2.9 per cent. Cooling is not included in the energy target as data quality and coverage are of lower quality while the energy type has a marginal impact on total energy consumption. Signing green leases with our tenants is engaging and creates incentives for both parties to reach common energy solutions.

Environment & climate: projects and investments

New production and renovation entail direct and indirect emissions and resource utilisation. We work actively with life cycle analyses in the early stages of major projects to understand what measures and choices we need to make to reduce our climate impact from the projects. During the quarter, we signed a framework agreement for climate calculations, which creates comparability in the calculations between different projects for knowledge development and experiential exchange.

People

We actively work with well-being and skills development for our employees. Through our Diös Academy training programme, we have created a digital traing platform and can thus more easily inform and train the entire organisation. Skills development is an important part of inspiring drive and commitment among our employees. The September survey showed a willingness to recommend the company according to eNPS1 of 48 points where our employees feel extensive confidence in their managers and colleagues.

EU taxonomy

We choose to voluntarily report in accordance with the EU taxonomy for increased transparency and comparability in the industry. Quarterly, preliminary and simplified reporting is made. Our entire business will be subject to the taxonomy as it primarily consists of the acquisition and ownership of properties, activity 7.7. The economic activities are exposed to environmental objectives 1 to limit our climate impact.

The classification of rental income and service income in the taxonomy are from the third quarter of 2023 with the financial reporting. This affects comparability with previous periods. The proportion of aligned properties will increase during the period once more properties have been assessed for climate risk.

1 Employee Net Promoter Score is a measure of how likely the employees are to recommend their workplace to a friend or acquaintance.

Income statement

Earnings analysis July-September 2023

Note 1 Revenue

Revenue for the quarter was SEK 621m (559) and the economic occupancy rate was 92 per cent (91). In a comparable portfolio, contracted rental income, excluding project properties, increased by 10.0 per cent in the quarter compared with the previous year. Other property management income totalled SEK 7m (8) and consisted mainly of the costs of work on leased premises that are passed on to tenants. Of our commercial leases, 96 per cent have upward index adjustments, where 93 per cent have a CPI adjustment and 3 per cent a fixed upwards adjustment.

Note 2 Property costs

The property costs for the quarter were SEK 172m (171). Of the total property costs, SEK 5m (7) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.

Note 3 Operating surplus

The operating surplus was SEK 449m (388) and the surplus ratio was 73 per cent (70). For comparable properties, our operating surplus increased by 12.0 per cent compared with the third quarter of the previous year.

Note 4 Central administration

The central administration expense was SEK 23m (18). The higher expenses consist primarily of increased leasing costs. Central administration includes Group-wide costs for staff functions, such as IT, annual reports, auditors' fees, legal advice and so on.

Note 5 Net financial items¹

Net financial items for the quarter were SEK -206m (-80). The higher cost is mainly related to higher market interest rates and a larger net debt. The interest costs for the quarter, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 4.9 per cent (1.9).

Note 6 Property management income¹

Property management income for the quarter, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 221m (290). This is a decrease of 24 per cent compared with the previous year. The change is attributable to increased financial costs. For comparable properties, property management income decreased by 19.4 per cent compared with the third quarter of the previous year.

Note 7 Changes in value, properties

The average direct yield requirement in the valuation at the end of the quarter was 6.01 per cent (5.56), an increase of 0.10 per cent since the previous quarter. The unrealised change in value for the quarter1 was SEK -204m (-439), the realised change in value was SEK 0m (0). The unrealised change in value is attributable to a higher direct yield requirement driven primarily by generally higher market interest rates. For more information, see Note 11. At 30 September, the market value was SEK 31,223m (31,106).

During the quarter, 0 properties (3) were acquired while 0 properties (0) were divested.

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 97m (2), which have been fully recognised in the income statement. The change in value is attributable to rising market interest rates.

Note 9 Profit before tax

The profit before tax amounted to SEK 114m (-146). The change in earnings is mainly due to a higher operating surplus and unrealised changes in the value of properties and derivatives compared to the previous year.

Note 10 Tax

The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 20.6 per cent. There are no tax loss carryforwards in the Group and there are untaxed reserves of SEK 492m (469). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax value by SEK 15,772m (16,195). Deferred tax has been calculated at 10,626 (10,956). 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 3,149 premises leases (3,210) and there were 2,277 residential leases (2,231). The ten largest tenants represent 18 per cent (18) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 30 September, 30 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 17 per cent of the annual contract value.

Net leasing

Net leasing for the quarter was SEK 0m (21) and the total for the period was SEK 18m (61). Major lettings during the quarter were to Sigma Industry North in Magne 4, Umeå and the Swedish Public Prosecutor's Office in Mörten 1, Luleå.

Lease term

The average contract term for commercial premises at 30 September is 4.0 years (4.3).

Vacancies

At 30 September, the economic vacancy rate was 7 per cent (8) while the vacant area was 12 per cent (13). Adjusted for project-related and non-leasable vacancies1 , the physical vacancy rate was 11 per cent. Economic vacancies are highest in office and retail premises while physical vacancies are highest in office and industrial premises.

1 Project-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

All properties are valued 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. At 30 September, 85 per cent of the property value was externally valued by CBRE. 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 6 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 in SEK/sq.m. of gross floor space for established building rights. The average value of the development rights in the valuation is approximately SEK 1,300/sq.m. gross floor space. The valuations are in accordance with IFRS 13 level 3.

1The comparative figures in the comments on the balance sheet correspond to the previous year's adopted annual report.

Investments

During the quarter, SEK 314m (1,332) was invested, of which SEK 0m (1,015) was related to property acquisitions.

Ongoing projects and investments are continuing according to plan. Demand for tenant adaptations remains good, while current market conditions have led us to postpone some project starts, especially for residential production.

Project portfolio

We have an ongoing project portfolio of SEK 4,106m, of which SEK 2,847m was earned at 30 September. We are continuously investing in the portfolio to improve, adapt and enhance the efficiency of our premises for our tenants. Our investments, excluding project profits, contributed to an increase in the property portfolio's value by SEK 1,145m for the period. Investments in our existing portfolio comprise new builds, conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures. The return on concluded investments during the period was 7.9 per cent on the investment amount.

Project properties

There are 9 project properties with a market value of SEK 3,067m. No new project properties were created during the quarter. As at 30 September, the occupancy rate for the project properties was 100 per cent. The total estimated investment is SEK 2,517m, where the produced investment at 30 September was SEK 2,029m.

Major projects completed

No major projects were completed during the quarter.

Development rights

We have an identified development rights volume of approximately 200,000 sq.m. gross floor space. This volume includes both established and potential development rights for both residential and commercial premises. Approximately 50 per cent of the development rights volume is attributable to commercial premises. Our ambition is to continuously create new development rights for either our own production or for sales.

Note 12 Equity

Equity at 30 September was SEK 11,655m (12,102). The equity ratio was 36.6 per cent (38.1), which exceeds the target of at least 35 per cent. Half of the approved dividend of SEK 284m has been paid. The remainder will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 and in the third quarter of 1 2024.

Note 13 Interest-bearing liabilities

During the quarter, we issued new unsecured bonds of SEK 475m. The commercial paper market has been relatively stable with retained outstanding volumes. Shortterm loan maturity consists primarily of bank loans. We have ongoing dialogues with our banks and are very likely to refinance the loans due at the same volumes.

Nominal interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 16,806m (15,776). The change is due to a larger property portfolio as a result of completed acquisitions and project investments. Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 13,840m (13,010) refers to bank financing, SEK 556m (790) to covered bonds, SEK 535m (570) to commercial paper and SEK 1,875m (1,900) of unsecured bonds. Amortised cost of the commercial paper was SEK 531m (568). Future refinancing will normally be completed 3-9 months before the maturity date. At the end of the period, the loanto-value ratio in the Group was 54.2 per cent (51.9). The secured loan-to-value ratio amounted to 46.5 percent (44.0). The average annual interest rate, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 4.8 per cent (3.2) at the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the period was 2.2 times (5.0).

Fixed-rate terms and loan maturities

The average fixed-rate term of the loans, including derivatives, was 2.6 years (0.8) and the average loan maturity 2.4 years (2.4). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 1,495m (570) is subject to fixed interest rates, of which SEK 535m (570) refers to commercial paper.

Balance sheet

Derivatives

New derivatives were restructured and subscribed for during the quarter. This meant that the remaining maturity increased to 4.1 years compared with 2.4 years at the end of the year. These changes were made to limit the impact of further rising market interest rates.

Out of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 9,250m (4,500) has been hedged through derivatives. At 30 September 2023, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 167m (143). 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 23 in the Annual Report 2022). Changes in value are recognised through profit or loss.

Note 14 Cash and cash equivalents and overdraft facilities

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were SEK 0m (88) and drawn overdraft facilities were SEK 158m (0). The approved credit limit on the overdraft facility was SEK 600m (600) and the total liquidity reserve less outstanding commercial paper was SEK 798m (1,218).

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 2022. The financial targets for 2023 adopted by the Board are presented on page 2 of this report.

Figures refer to SEKm unless otherwise indicated.

If the dividend is included, the total return on the shares for the period was -8.1 per cent (-14.4). The return on the OMX Stockholm 30 Index was 12.9 per cent (-19.2) and the return on the OMX Stockholm Real Estate PI index was 0.7 per cent (-42.1).

At 30 September, Diös Fastigheter AB had 18,067 shareholders (19,015).

Diös Fastigheter AB is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq OMX

Nordic Exchange Stockholm, Large Cap list. The ticker symbol is DIOS and the ISIN code SE0001634262.

Our goal is to generate a return on equity in excess of 12 per cent. Return for the period was -2.3 per cent (7.0). Equity at the end of the period was SEK 11,655m (12,102) and the long-term net asset value, EPRA NRV, was SEK 13,678m (14,216). On a per share basis, EPRA NRV was SEK 96.7 (100.5), which means that the share price at 30 September represented 64 per cent (75) of long-term net asset value. The net asset value per share for the period, expressed as EPRA NTA, was SEK 95.0 (98.6).

Earnings

Earnings per share for the period were SEK -1.15 (6.67) while long-term earnings per share, expressed as EPRA EPS, were SEK 4.57 (5.77).

Risks and uncertainties

Effects of the military conflict in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine as well as the the conflict in Gaza and the resulting humanitarian disaster is a major setback for the world. The effects

of the Gaza conflict are too early to review while sanctions against Russia and changed world trade affect global flows of goods and capital as well as energy prices. The most obvious effect is rising inflation, higher interest rates and increased risk premiums on the capital market, resulting in higher financing costs.

In addition, there are clear 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 performance measures. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified portfolio of centrally located properties in growth cities.

Equity ratio, % 31.6 36.6 40.9
Loan-to-value ratio, % 58.6 54.2 50.5

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.

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 responsible 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 2022, pages 62-64, 78, 82 and 126-127.

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. In addition to the financial statements and their associated notes, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 p.16A are also made in the other parts of the interim report. The report for the parent company is prepared in accordance with RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Revised accounting policies

During the 2023 financial year, with the first reporting in the third quarter, we capitalised interest expenses in accordance with IAS 23 on project properties to create a more accurate picture of total investment costs. Interest expenses were calculated on an accrued investment at the end of the quarter and the interest rate used is the Group's average interest rate for the quarter. The change affects only income statement items net of financial assets and changes in value of properties. The change is not due to the application of new IFRSs.

For the 2023 financial year, the classification of rental income and service income changed compared with the previous year. The change means that a higher proportion of the company's total income is deemed to be rental income. The comparative year in the report is restated according to the new classification.

The amendment to IAS 1 relating to accounting policies will have an impact on disclosure and accounting policies in the Annual Report for 2023. 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.

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 2022, Note 1.

Report signatures

The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer declare that the interim report gives a true and fair view of the company's and Group's operations, financial position and income, and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies in the Group. This report has been reviewed by the company's auditor.

Auditor's review report

To the Board of Directors of Diös Fastigheter AB (publ), corp. ID no. 556501-1771

Introduction

We have conducted a review of the interim financial information in the interim report for Diös Fastigheter AB (publ) on 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period ending on that date. Responsibility for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act rests with the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim report based on our review.

Focus and scope of the review

We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review involves making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and significantly smaller scope than an audit in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures taken when conducting a review do not enable us to obtain a degree of certainty that would make us aware of all material circumstances that would have been identified if an audit had been performed. The conclusion expressed on the basis of a review therefore does not have the same level of certainty as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, no circumstances have come to light that would give us reason to believe that the interim report has not, in all material respects, been prepared, in respect of the Group, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and in respect of the parent company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
