Chief Executive's review

Strong operating profit and reduced vacancies in a growing market

We continued to deliver a strong operating profit in the second quarter with a positive net leasing of SEK 16m, an increased operating surplus of 14 per cent, an occupancy rate that remained strong at 92 per cent, and revenues that were 14 per cent higher than those of the same quarter in 2022. We continue to ensure our financial key figures and have during the quarter handled the year's remaining debt maturities.

Northern Sweden is characterised by the large investments being made mainly in the production of fossil-free steel and battery production, mainly for the automotive industry and its subcontractors. Recently, circular industries have also emerged, such as data centres where both energy consumption and surplus heat are managed in a sustainable way. Environmental permits and building permits are being granted at an increasing rate, which points to an even higher level of activity in the green transition. It's an exciting time in northern Sweden and the future looks bright.

Our journey of success with energy efficiency improvements leads to both higher profitability and provides the conditions for achieving our target of a 50-per-cent reduction in emissions by 2030. For me, it has also always been a matter of course to be a company with gender equality and I am proud to note that we are again on the recently published Green List of the Allbright Foundation.

During the quarter, we successfully refinanced SEK 900m in bonds maturing in June and September, and after the end of the period, a further SEK 1,700m in bank financing maturing in September. This means that we have managed the refinancing risk for 2023 while at the same time showing a continued strong confidence in us from both the capital market and our banks. Our good banking relationships and available liquidity make us feel secure in the face of future debt maturities. At the beginning of July, we added additional interest rate hedges to protect against rising market interest rates. We carefully balance both debt and interest coverage to secure our financial KPIs.

During the quarter, we divested a hotel property in Borlänge, Ingeborg 1, where the sale exceeded book value. This is yet another sign that we are operating in a very attractive market. . In general, the transaction market continues to be cautious with few transactions completed and market interest rates have continued to rise, which has had a negative impact on yield requirements. We adjusted the required yield 6 basis points during the quarter, which affects the value development of our properties by SEK -117 million. This corresponds to approximately 0.4 percent of the total property value.

The strong trend in net leasing is continuing.

The strong and positive net leasing continues and it gives confidence for our employees to generate higher rental income. Our properties are located in the right place in the right cities where most newly signed office agreements are now over SEK 3,000/sq.m. in rent, which gives us good prospects in our renegotiations of existing leases at higher levels than before. Some examples of larger leases and renegotiations in the past quarter are: the Swedish Tax Agency in Sundsvall of 2,600 sq.m., Lyko, which tripled its premises in Borlänge to 500 sq.m. and Basta, which leased a classic restaurant location

in central Umeå. In addition, we also completed our new production project on the property Porsön 1:446 in Luleå during the quarter with the Swedish Pensions Agency as a tenant and the conversion project of commercial premises on the second floor to modern offices in the property Glädjen 4 in central Sundsvall with Länsförsäkringar as a tenant. The modern office is the hub of the continued development of an attractive city, where increased flows of people provide the conditions for all other services as well as security.

As new establishments are continuously being announced with large investments in northern Sweden, I am convinced that we are just at the beginning of a very exciting time. We note that the population is growing in our cities and the underlying growth is strong, which entails an increased demand for modern and flexible offices, premises for urban services and housing. This gives us the potential to further strengthen our business. With our driven employees and teams and a very attractive market, we continue to deliver shareholder value.

Sustainability

We are investing in our property portfolio to make it more attractive, more resource efficient and more climate adapted. In doing so, we want to take responsibility throughout the business model to meet the needs and demands of our tenants, employees and shareholders.

Climate targets

Diös' 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, and take responsibility for the company's impact in the value chain. Our emissions from purchased energy are presented according to the market-based method of the GHG protocol. The target has been reviewed and approved by the Science Based Target initiative, SBTi.

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

Climate target follow-up, SBTi

55% green properties by 2026 is one of Diös' company targets. The goal is to drive development of our property portfolio and is measured as a percentage of the market value. During the period, we conducted a climate risk survey in Sundsvall and are increasing the share of green properties to 16 per cent. In order to achieve this classification, our criteria regarding environmental certification, climate risk analysis and primary energy figures must be met.

Direct emissions and emissions from purchased energy, scope 1 and 2

Within the scope, our emissions are mainly from district heat. Through energy and power optimisation of the property portfolio, we can contribute to the well-being of our tenants while at the same time reducing our emissions and operating costs. To take a further step, we will to strengthen our cooperation with our energy suppliers to find effective solutions for the future. Emissions from district heating (2022) are updated retroactively when data is published, which is in the second quarter.

Indirect emissions, scope 3

Our climate survey shows that construction production is the largest emissions item over which we have control. We are working to develop, ensure and collect statistics from these emissions. Emissions from business trips and private cars are a small part of our emissions and are therefore only monitored on an annual basis.

The measures we planned during the year to reduce our emissions from construction production are presented below.

Energy

Energy is an important issue for our business, our offering and our climate work. We buy origin-labelled electricity from renewable energy sources for our entire portfolio. Diös' energy savings target of -3 per cent per year creates the conditions for us to reach the company's target of cutting emissions in half by 2030.

Comment and analysis

For the second quarter of 2023, we achieved energy efficiency improvement of a decrease of 2.0 per cent for electricity and district heating in a comparable portfolio. The business units Dalarna and Östersund/Åre reported reductions of around 4 per cent. The outcome shows that our systematic energy efficiency and optimisation work had an impact on the period's results. The results for the quarter are in line with the plan to reach the full-year energy target.

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

Electricity District heating District cooling

Comment and analysis

Energy costs and climate impact from purchased energy 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.

By signing green leases, we involve the tenants in order to find common solutions and create commitment to energy efficiency improvement that benefits both parties.

Solar cell production in a mountain setting

Årevägen 55, Åre

At Årevägen 55, a transformation of the old Produkthuset building is under way with a focus on sustainability. The installation of solar cells will reduce the carbon footprint of the building by 3.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents per year.

With its central location in Åre village, Produkthuset has long been a well-known office landmark. The building has several dedicated and aware tenants such as Klättermusen, Åre Destination, Iterio and One Group. During the project period, the building will be developed with a focus on sustainability where natural material choices and reuse were at the heart of the project.

The construction of a 230 sq.m. solar cell facility has begun on the roof of the renamed property. With an installed power of 46 kW, we are expected to produce 40,000 kWh per year and save 3.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents.

After completion, the building at Årevägen 55 will receive an updated environmental certification from BREEAM In-Use. The new tenants have also signed green leases and are good proof of a shared commitment to greener properties among our tenants.

Taxonomy reporting

The EU Taxonomy Regulation aims to define economic activities that are sustainable and live up to the Union's growth strategy. Diös is not yet covered by the reporting requirements but chooses to report for increased transparency and comparability in the industry.

The entire business of Diös is assessed to be covered by the EU's taxonomy through our primary economic activity, the acquisition and ownership of properties, activity 7.7. Management includes activities that can be classified under activities 7.2 - 7.6. If these are not carried out separately, they are accounted for under activity 7.7.

Our economic activities are exposed to environmental objective 1 to limit our climate impact. As property owners, we can contribute to the climate transition in society by making our properties more energy efficient, making demands of our suppliers regarding renewable energy, and promoting a small climate footprint in connection with new production, as well as renovation and extension.

Properties meeting the criteria for a significant contribution to

Objective 1 are compatible with the taxonomy's technical review criteria. Properties are subsequently classified on the basis of how they meet criteria for DNSH to the other five environmental and climate goals. Properties with a classified low or medium risk, or where the climate risk as such is assessed to be low in local mapping, are deemed to be compatible with the taxonomy's Objective 2 and do no harm to other environmental and climate targets.

During the period, surveys of torrential rains were carried out in Sundsvall, which have a positive impact on the outcome of taxonomy-aligned properties.

Minimum safeguards

The property industry not only affects the environment and climate, the taxonomy also emphasises social issues through requirements on minimum social safeguards. No comments, reports or notifications of violations were received during the quarter. Diös is thus deemed

to meet the EU taxonomy's requirements for minimum safeguards in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Interpreting KPIs

Revenue: Rental income excluding forward-charged property tax and service income related to property management.

Capital expenditure: Operating expenses that increase the value of the properties including redevelopment, new construction and acquisitions and additional rights of use during 2023.

Operating expenditure: All ongoing costs related to internal and external property management and repair and maintenance, in order to maintain the value of our properties.

Earnings analysis April-June 2023

Note 1 Revenue

Revenue for the quarter was SEK 620m (543) and the economic occupancy rate was 92 per cent (91). In a comparable portfolio, contracted rental income, excluding project properties, increased by 10.6 per cent in the quarter compared with the previous year. Other property management income totalled SEK 5m (6) 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 187m (163). The increase in costs is related to a larger property portfolio, increased prices for property care and upkeep and somewhat higher tariffbased costs. Of the total property costs, SEK 4m (6) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.

Note 3 Operating surplus

The operating surplus was SEK 433m (380) and the surplus ratio was 71 per cent (71). For comparable properties, operating surplus increased by 10.5 per cent compared with the second quarter of the previous year.

Note 4 Central administration

The central administration expense was SEK 20m (18). 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 items

Net financial items for the quarter were SEK -193m (-49). 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 4.5 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 219m (313). This is a decrease of 30 per cent compared with the previous year. The change is attributable to increased financial costs. For comparable properties, property management income decreased by 31.6 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year.

Earnings analysis April-June 2023, continued

Note 7 Changes in value, properties

The average direct yield requirement in the valuation at the end of the quarter was 5.91 per cent (5.41), an increase of 0.06 per cent since the previous quarter. The unrealised change in value for the quarter was SEK -117m (106), the realised change in value was SEK 7m (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 June, the market value was SEK 31,114m (30,956).

During the quarter, 0 properties (15) were acquired while 2 properties (1) 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 6m (27), 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 116m (446). The change in earnings is mainly due to negative unrealised changes in the value of properties and higher interest expenses 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 carry-forwards in the Group. The Group also has untaxed reserves of SEK 488m (469). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax value by SEK 15,755m (16,195). Deferred tax has been calculated at 10,643 (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 3,470 premises leases (3,123) and there were 2,304 residential leases (2,176). The ten largest tenants represent 18 per cent (15) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 30 June, 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 16 per cent of the annual contract value.

Net leasing

Net leasing for the quarter was SEK 16m (17) and the total for the period was SEK 19m (39). Major leases during the quarter were to the Swedish Pensions Agency in Porsön 1:446 in Luleå, the Swedish Tax Agency in Mayor 10 in Sundsvall, and Region Västerbotten in Polaris 8 in Skellefteå.

Lease term

The average contract term commercial premises at 30 June was 4.0 years (4.1).

Vacancies

At 30 June, the economic vacancy rate was 7 per cent (8) while the vacant area was 12 per cent (12). 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 the time of valuation on 30 June 2023, 85 per cent of the property value had been 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.

Investments

During the quarter, SEK 458m (1,3221) 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.

1The comparative figures in the comments on the balance sheet correspond to the previous financial year.

Project portfolio

We have an ongoing project portfolio of SEK 4,197m, of which SEK 2,717m was earned at 30 June. 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 818m for the period. Investments in our existing portfolio comprise new builds, conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures. The return on completed investments for the period was 8.4 per cent on the invested amount while the return on our ongoing projects was 5.7 per cent.

Project properties

There are 9 project properties with a market value of SEK 3,030m. No new project properties were created during the quarter. As at 30 June, the occupancy rate for the project properties was 100 per cent. The total estimated investment is SEK 2,521m, where the produced investment at 30 June was SEK 1,922m.

Major projects completed

During the quarter, the new construction on the property Porsön 1:446 in Luleå was completed. The project concerned new offices for the Swedish Pensions Agency. The investment was SEK 170m and related to 5,452 sq.m. In addition, the conversion project in Glädjen 4 in Sundsvall was completed where previous commercial premises were converted into centrally located offices with an investment of SEK 51m.

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

At 30 June, equity was SEK 11,568m (12,102). The equity ratio was 36.4 per cent (38.1), which exceeds the target of at least 35 per cent.

Note 13 Interest-bearing liabilities

During the quarter, we issued new unsecured bonds of SEK 900m to refinance bond maturities in June and September. In connection with the issue, parts of the maturing bonds were bought back. Furthermore, a maturity of an SFF bond of SEK 284m has been refinanced. The certificate market has been relatively stable with maintained outstanding volumes.

Interest-bearing nominal liabilities in the Group were (nominally) SEK 16,797m (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 13,599m (13,010) refers to bank financing, SEK 556m (790) to covered bonds, SEK 562m (570) to commercial paper and SEK 2,080m (1,900) of unsecured bonds. Amortised cost of the commercial paper amounted to SEK 559m (568). Future refinancing will normally be completed 3-9 months before the maturity date.

At the end of the period, the loan-to-value ratio in the Group was 53.3 per cent (51.9). The secured loan-to-value ratio amounted to 44.8 per cent (44.0). The average annual interest rate, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 4.6 per cent (3.2) at the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the period was 2.3 times (4.6).

Fixed-rate terms and loan maturities

The average fixed-rate term of the loans, including derivatives, was 1.8 years (0.8) and the average loan maturity 2.0 years (2.4). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 1,522m (570) is subject to fixed interest rates, of which SEK 562m (570) refers to commercial paper.

Breakdown of interest-bearing financing

Comments on the balance sheet, continued

Derivatives

No new derivatives were subscribed for during the quarter. In addition, one derivative was restructured and extended. This meant that the remaining maturity increased to 3.9 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.

Of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 6,250m (4,500) has been interest hedged through derivative instruments. At 30 June 2023, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 70m (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 193m (88) and drawn overdraft facilities were SEK 0m (0). The approved credit limit on the overdraft facility was SEK 600m (600) and the total liquidity reserve less outstanding certificates was SEK 1,422m (1,218). 5,0

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.

Share performance

Diös' share price at the end of the period was SEK 68.9 (71.1), which represents a market capitalisation of SEK 9,762m (10,074), and the return for the past 12 months was -3.1 per cent (-19.9). If the dividend is included, the total return on the shares for the period was -1.1 per cent (-17.8). The return on the OMX Stockholm 30 Index was 23.3 per cent (-17.3) and the return on the OMX Stockholm Real Estate PI index was -8.7 per cent (-36.3).

At 31 May, Diös Fastigheter AB had 18,520 shareholders (18,615). The share of foreign-owned shares was 26.4 per cent(23.9) while the total number of shares during the period remained unchanged at 141,785,165 (141,785,165). The single largest shareholder was AB Persson Invest, with 15.6 per cent (15.4) of the shares. The ten largest shareholders accounted for 53.9 per cent (53.3) of the total number of shares and voting rights.

The Annual General Meeting 2023 resolved to authorise the company to buy back ten per cent of the total number of outstanding shares of the company.

In the second quarter of 2023, Nordstjernan AB announced through a disclosure notice that its ownership is less than 5 per cent of the ownership of the company.

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.

Return and net asset value

Our goal is to generate a return on equity in excess of 12 per cent. Return for the period was -4.1 per cent (7.0). Equity at the end of the period was SEK 11,568m (12,102) and the long-term net asset value, EPRA NRV, was SEK 13,691m (14,216). On a per share basis, EPRA NAV was SEK 96.8 (100.5), which means that the share price at 30 June represented 71 per cent (75) of long-term NAV. The net asset value per share for the period, expressed as EPRA NTA, was SEK 94.4 (98.6).

Earnings

Earnings per share for the period were SEK -1.78 (7.52) while long-term earnings per share, expressed as EPRA EPS, were SEK 2.97 (3.81). EPRA EPS, which is designed to show an entity's long-term earnings per share, is calculated as property management income after deducting 20.6 per cent corporation tax attributable to property management income less minority share of earnings.

Other information

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 30 June 2023 was 158 (145), of whom 65 were women (60). The majority of our employees, 104 people (97), work in our business units and the rest at our head office in Östersund. Our Pick-Pack-Post concept currently employs 3 people (6), of whom 3 were women (6).

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 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 KPIs. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified portfolio of centrally located properties in growth cities.

Equity ratio, % 31.4 36.4 40.8
Loan-to-value ratio, % 59.0 53.3 50.8

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. 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 second quarter have been recognised based on calculations of the preliminary consideration. The calculation of the final consideration will be completed in the third 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 2022, Note 1.

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.

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 interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditor. Financial reports can be viewed in full on Diös' website, www.dios.se.
