Chief Executive's review

Our strong market and high level of activity inspire confidence in the future

We summarise the first quarter with a positive net leasing and continued strong interest in our market. I can note that our properties are in attractive locations in the right cities to receive new establishments and develop our rent levels. Rental income increased by 17 per cent compared with the same period in the previous year, and despite high inflation and a more uncertain macroeconomic development, we are delivering a very good operating profit.

Rental income increased by 17 per cent compared with the first quarter of 2022, driven by upwards index adjustment, renegotiations and an increased occupancy rate. The occupancy rate was 92 per cent, which is the highest ever and proof of our active letting work and a strong market. The surplus ratio was 64 per cent, which is strong for a first quarter. Compared with the previous year, we have higher costs for snow removal due to a snowy winter. Our interest expenses are increasing due to rising market interest rates and a relatively short fixed-interest term. During the quarter, we restructured the derivative portfolio and extended our fixed-interest term to provide protection for even higher interest rates. The capital market is starting to function better and we have positive dialogues with our banks and I feel confident about future refinancing. We have raised the direct return requirement by 0.11 percent to 5.85 percent, which contributed to an unrealized value development on our properties of SEK -564 million.

The inflation rate rose in 2022, but the inflation peak is now behind us in my assessment. We have had higher price levels in society, but also higher rent levels as a result of the index adjustment we have in our lease agreements. When the inflation rate declines, I think that uncertainty among tenants and investors will decrease and we will see higher activity in the transaction market and new leases will increase.

We see the extensive interest in our market as a ray of light. Our properties are located in the right cities and it is exciting that we are now offering rents for new production in the office segment of nearly SEK 3,000/sq.m. New production moves top rent levels and gives us better opportunities to renegotiate existing leases at higher levels than before.

Net leasing remains positive and amounted to SEK 3m during the quarter. Examples of major lettings and renegotiations made during the quarter are the Swedish National Government Service Centre in Sundsvall and in Luleå and Sweco in Luleå. At present, we have offered approximately 30,000 sq.m. to prospective tenants, which de facto further strengthens the interest we are experiencing in our market.

Our properties are in the right place in the right cities.

The tenant adaptations completed during the quarter are delivering as decided with a direct yield of around 8 per cent. The larger projects also are also delivering as decided and according to plan, which is contributing to increased rental income, higher rent levels and increased cash flow. The latest new production project – the police station in Umeå – was handed over to the tenant during the quarter and contributes approximately SEK 20m in annual rental income. At the beginning of the year, we broke ground on the Vale block project in central Umeå, which includes an office for the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and residential properties. The homes, which are being sold as tenant-owner apartments, have a very attractive location and there is already extensive interest in the apartments.

In the media, our market – northern Sweden – is often mentioned in the context of the huge industrial investments that are being made in connection with the green transition regarding, among other things, fossil-free steel and battery production. Our business linked to these investments will be to provide all the

stakeholders around these industries with suitable premises. We also see that municipal executives, politicians and civil servants are increasingly working together, with a shared drive for development. We see an understanding that cooperation is needed with the business community, municipalities and academia to achieve success, but there is a lot to do as to permit processes, among other things, in order to further increase the pace.

Every day at work, I am met by my fantastic colleagues who are energising and contribute to a positive business culture in the company. Our shared drive is about high activity and that we measure results based on action plans that are directly linked to our strong operating profit. I am convinced that we have only seen the beginning of what reflects an interesting market in our geography and I am looking forward to an intense and exciting journey ahead. Together with other actors in northern Sweden, we are creating new business in the largest green growth revolution of our time. With my colleagues, our secure and stable owners and a very interesting investor market, we will continue to deliver shareholder value.

Sustainability

We invest in our property portfolio to make it more attractive, more resource efficient and more climate adapted. We want to take financial, environmental and social responsibility throughout the business model to match the demand from 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.

2018 2020 2022 2024 2026 2028 2030

During 2025, peat will be phased out from our suppliers' energy mix.

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. Today, 12 per cent of the portfolio meets our criteria regarding environmental certification, climate risk analysis and primary energy figures to be classified as a green property.

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

Our emissions in this category consist mostly of emissions from district heating, emissions that are strongly linked to outdoor temperatures. Our energy work aims to create a good indoor environment for our tenants with the most efficient energy use possible.

Focusing on energy and power optimisation contributes both to low energy costs for operations and to low climate impact.

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 first quarter of 2023, we achieved energy efficiency improvement of -1.4 per cent for electricity and district heating in a comparable portfolio. We see the outcome of a systematic energy efficiency and optimisation work at several of our business units. In Umeå and Östersund/Åre, we have improved energy efficiency by 6 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively. At two business units, we have leases where we moved new tenants into larger premises that were previously empty, which requires us to increase our focus on the energy issue in order to reach the annual target of -3 per cent.

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.

Actual energy use per quarter, kWh/sq.m. leasable area kWh/sq.m. leasable area

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.

Reuse in new production

Vale block, Umeå

In central Umeå, project engineering is under way for flexible office solutions, premises for urban service and well-planned homes with a view towards Vasaplan in the property Vale 17.

The building is being designed with a high environmental profile and sustainability performance. The office section will be certified according to the BREEAM In-Use certification system with the ambition of reaching the rating very good and the residential section will be certified based on the Nordic Svan label.

In the early stages, a reuse inventory was carried out where we to-date have reused door closers, lighting, fittings, sanitary items, kitchen fittings, ventilation baffles and roller archives in the project.

In the project, existing basement tiles, basement walls and shelter rooms are reused on land that has been used in the past.

The requirements of the EU taxonomy for newly produced buildings shall be complied with as far as possible. An early climate assessment has been carried out that will be updated in accordance with the Climate Declarations Act and at least 50 per cent of the construction products' climate impact is based on product-specific environmental product declarations, EPD.

In addition, low-cost water fittings will be installed and a digital log book has been established for the project. A climate risk inventory is being carried out to detect possible climate risks surrounding the property and how they can best be addressed.

The block is scheduled for completion in 2026.

Earnings analysis January-March 2023

Note 1 Revenue

Revenue for the quarter was SEK 617m (539) and the economic occupancy rate was 92 per cent (90). 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 10m (19) 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 228m (203). The increase in costs is related to a larger property portfolio and higher winter-related costs due to a winter with more snow than in the previous year. Of the total property costs, SEK 8m (7) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.

Note 3 Operating surplus

The operating surplus was SEK 389m (336) and the surplus ratio was 64 per cent (65). For comparable properties, operating surplus increased by 8.7 per cent compared with the first 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 -149m (-47). The higher cost is mainly related to higher market interest rates and 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 3.7 per cent (1.1).

Note 6 Property management income

Property management income for the quarter, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 220m (271). This is a decrease of 19 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, property management income decreased by 24.1 per cent compared with the fourth 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 5.85 per cent (5.47), an increase of 0.11 per cent since the end of the year. The unrealised change in value for the quarter was SEK -564m (533), the realised change in value was SEK 0m (1). 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 31 March, the market value was SEK 30,931m (29,847).

During the quarter, 0 properties (9) were acquired while 2 properties (8) 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 -79m (88), which have been fully recognised in the income statement. The change in value is attributable to restructuring in the derivatives portfolio, falling market interest rates and a shorter period to maturity.

Note 9 Profit before tax

The loss before tax was SEK 423m (profit: 892). The change in earnings is mainly due to negative unrealised changes in the value of properties and derivative instruments 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 480m (467). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax value by SEK 15,788m (16,195). Deferred tax has been calculated at 10,549 (10,956). The difference is attributable to deferred tax on asset acquisitions. Diös has no ongoing tax disputes.

Tenants

Our tenant base is well diversified geographically and in terms of industry. There were 3,204 premises leases (3,098) and there were 2,267 residential leases (2,008). The ten largest tenants represent 18 per cent (16) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 31 March, 29 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 14 per cent of the annual contract value.

Net leasing

Net leasing for the quarter was SEK 3m (22). Major lettings during the quarter were to Coop in Idun 10, Skellefteå and the National Government Service Centre in Badhuset 1, Sundsvall.

Lease term

The average contract term for commercial premises at 31 March was 4.2 years (4.3).

Vacancies

At 31 March, the economic vacancy rate was 8 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 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 31 March 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 5 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 360m (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.

Acquisitions

No property acquisitions were made during the quarter.

Divestments

During the quarter, 2 plots were divested.

Project portfolio

We have an ongoing project portfolio of SEK 4,121m, of which SEK 2,477m was earned at 31 March. 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 360m 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 7.7 per cent on the invested amount while the return on our ongoing projects was 5.4 per cent.

Project properties

There are 9 project properties with a market value of SEK 2,859m. No new project properties were created during the quarter. As at 31 March, the occupancy rate for the project properties was 100 per cent. The total estimated investment is SEK 2,531m, where the produced investment at 31 March was SEK 1,770m.

Major projects completed

During the quarter, the development project in the property Aeolus 5 in Sundsvall was completed. The project was aimed at converting office premises into modern homes. The investment was SEK 48m and related to 2,597 sq.m. divided into 46 apartments.

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. In the first quarter of 2023, five new development rights were taken up for valuation.

Note 12 Equity

At 31 March, equity was SEK 11,768m (12,102). The equity ratio was 37.4 per cent (38.1), which exceeds the target of 35 per cent.

Note 13 Interest-bearing liabilities

During the quarter, we linked the majority of outstanding bank loans at Handelsbanken to sustainability. The share of green and sustainability-linked debt is now 53 per cent. In addition, a maturity of SEK 300m of an SFF bond has been refinanced in a bank. The certificate market has been relatively stable with retained outstanding volumes.

Interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 16,668m (16,259). The change is due to a larger property portfolio as a result of completed acquisitions and project investments. Of total interestbearing liabilities, SEK 13,771m (13,010) refers to bank financing, SEK 480m (790) to covered bonds, SEK 527m (570) to commercial paper and SEK 1,900m (1,900) of unsecured bonds. Amortised cost of the commercial paper amounted to SEK 525m (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 53.7 per cent (51.9). The secured loan-to-value ratio amounted to 45.9 percent (44.0). The average annual interest rate, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 4.1 per cent (3.2) at the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the period was 2.5 times (4.6).

Fixed-rate terms and loan maturities

The average fixed-rate term of the loans, including derivatives, was 1.5 years (0.8) and the average loan maturity 2.3 years (2.4). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 527m (570) is subject to fixed interest rates, of which SEK 527m (570) refers to commercial paper.

Derivatives

New derivatives were subscribed for during the quarter amounting to SEK 1,750m. In addition, one derivative was restructured and extended and one derivative was extended. This meant that the remaining maturity increased to 3.4 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 31 March 2023, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 64m (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 58m (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 1,122m (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.

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 of the EU taxonomy 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, which constitutes 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.

The economic activities are exposed to environmental objectives 1 to limit our climate impact. As property owners, we can contribute to the climate change in society by making our properties more efficient, making demands on our suppliers about 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 that the climate risk as such is assessed as 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.

The Diös Annual Report for 2022 contains additional information on the company's taxonomy reporting.

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.

Other information

Employees and organisation

The number of employees at 31 March 2023 was 160 (147), of whom 65 were women (61). The majority of our employees, 105 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 (4), of whom 5 were women (4).

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, % 32.4 37.4 41.7
Loan-to-value ratio, % 58.0 53.7 49.9

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 sustainable behaviour are essential to creating long-term value. Through good internal control and procedures, we take responsibility for building a sustainable longterm 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 first quarter have been recognised based on calculations of the preliminary consideration. The final purchase consideration calculation will be obtained during the second 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 financial year 2023, the classification of rental income and service income has changed compared to the previous year. The change means that a higher proportion of the company's total income is deemed to be rental income. The comparison year in the report is recalculated according to the new classification.

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.
