Introduction
Introduction About the company Sustainability Income statement Our tenants Balance sheet Cash flow Key ratios Share information Other
In the first quarter of 2024, we saw an improved economy and a high level of leasing activity. We continue to deliver positive net lettings, a surplus ratio of 65 per cent and an occupancy rate of 92 per cent. The green transition, of which we have only seen the beginning, is a growth engine for us, for our cities and for the whole country. The raw materials industry that built Sweden's economy is doing so again through the green transition. A stronger Sweden and a brighter future.
The beginning of the year was marked by a continuation of good business activity, with a demand for office premises in particular. We have many ongoing dialogues on new leases and renegotiations of existing leases. For comparable properties, operating surplus increased by 7 per cent for the quarter, thanks to more lettings of vacancies and upward indexation of our leases. Completed projects contributed approximately SEK 5m in revenue during the quarter. In a generally challenging economic environment, our cost focus and our efficient management contributed to an increased operating surplus. I believe that the yield requirements have peaked and we saw stable property values for the quarter.
I am convinced that the investments being made in our market will build Sweden's economic conditions moving forward. We are involved in creating conditions based on our focus; as the largest property owner in these growth cities, we are helping to meet the need for attractive offices and commercial premises for urban service and are contributing to the construction of more homes. In pace with an increased demand for offices in the right location, and a more stable economy, we have the opportunity to increase rent levels and continue to reduce vacancies through active renegotiations and new leases.
We have had several new office lettings during the quarter, such as the Swedish Enforcement Authority in Luleå at 1,100 sq.m., Sigma in Umeå at 450 sq.m. and Metria in Umeå at 540 sq.m. Bjurås Sparbank in Falun is moving to 480 sq.m and the IT company Nordlo and insurance agent Max Matthiessen are setting up operations at Gävle Brovägen in a total of 1,080 sq.m.
At the same time that the office market is growing, we are experiencing a strong interest in the premises we are developing for urban service. During the quarter, for example, Normal and Clas Ohlson opened and reopened in Sundsvall. By midsummer, Åhléns will also re-open in Mora.
New investments linked to the green transition are continuously announced in northern Sweden. These investments are for both new establishment as well as existing companies under both public and private management. At the beginning of April, SSAB announced that they will build new, fossil-free steelworks in Luleå, which is expected to reduce Sweden's total carbon dioxide emissions by 7 per cent, an investment equivalent to EUR 4.5bn. With the green transition as a starting point, we have great opportunities to create growth both for us as a company, for our cities and for Sweden as a country. It is about responsible management of power and having the courage to change for a profitable and green future. With our efforts to reduce climate impact – through, among other things, efficient energy optimisation, re-use in our tenant adaptations and smarter material choices – we are moving closer to our target of a 50 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030.
A falling inflation rate and the expectations of interest rate reductions during the year are naturally contributing to an optimistic outlook on the future. We already notice a higher level of activity and greater interest in the transaction market. During the quarter, we signed an agreement to divest 22 residential properties in Östersund and Gävle for SEK 385m, as well as one property in Umeå and one in Sundsvall for a total of SEK 212m. The completions will take place in the second quarter. In addition, we have several active dialogues on more transactions, both acquisitions and divestments. Our focus is on high-yielding properties, mainly offices, where we see the strongest development.
Of our ongoing projects, the development of the property Mimer, with Dalarna University as the tenant, is the one that is closest in time to completion. In June 2024, we handed over the keys to what will become one of Sweden's most modern higher education institutions. Other projects such as Västra Stranden in Luleå, a completely new block with tenants such as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and Sys Partner, and the Vale block in Umeå, with the Swedish Social Insurance Agency as the largest tenant, are progressing according to plan.
Our earnings for the quarter are still marked by increased financial costs compared with the same period in the previous year. During the quarter, we refinanced bank debt of SEK 4bn at good terms, although with slightly higher margins than previously, and we now see that the capital market is working very well again. Liquidity is increasing and margins are significantly lower than six months ago. The proceeds from our divestments have been used to repay debt, which has strengthened our balance sheet. We are still targeting a loan-to-value ratio around 50 per cent during the year. When the key interest rate is reduced, which I believe will begin in May, it contributes to a direct positive effect on our net financial assets.
In the short term, we are continuing to navigate in a troubled time, while at the same time preparing for new business opportunities in the future. I am convinced that future interest rate reductions and a more secure investor market will benefit us. What is happening with the huge investments being made in our market, in the largest green growth revolution of our time, together with our ability to act and our strong business culture, will create even better conditions for our business. We believe in our offering, in our cities and in a brighter time ahead to create value for our tenants, for us and for our shareholders.

Knut Rost, CEO
We are the property company that is investing entirely in northern Sweden. With a unique position in our 10 growth cities, we are creating sustainable growth through commercial property development for our tenants, our shareholders and ourselves as a company. We offer commercial premises – in the right location to the right tenant. One third of our rental income comes from tax-funded operations and just over half of the total rental income is from offices.

Through clear sustainability goals, we run the business in a responsible way and create long-term business.
Our goal is to reduce emissions in scope 1 and 2 by at least 50 per cent by 2030 compared with the base year of 2018, in order to reach net zero by 2045. The emissions in scope 2 and category 3.3 depend on actual energy use.
In the run-up to 2024, we adjusted the level of requirements to classify our properties as green by aligning the energy requirement with the EU's taxonomy. As of the beginning of the year, to be classified as a green property, the property must reach Fastighetsägarna's limit values, revised in 2022, for the 15 per cent best buildings in the national portfolio.
The planning for continued climate and vulnerability analyses remains firm and for the year, we have several new and recertifications that enable a further advancement of the portfolio and more green properties.
Energy and power requirements in properties are largely affected by external factors such as temperature, wind and sun, but also by the comfort requirements inside the properties. Both external and internal factors are constantly changing and require us to actively work with optimisation to keep both costs and emissions down. For the first quarter of the year, energy consumption in comparable stocks decreased by 1.8 per cent. Signing green leases with our tenants is engaging and creates incentives for both parties to actively contribute to efficient energy solutions.
New production and renovation entail direct and indirectemissions and extensive resource utilisation. We work actively with life cycle analyses in theearly stages of major projects to understand what measures and choices we need to maketo reduce our climate impact from the projects. In the work on life cycle analyses, westrivefor lower climateimpact and are beginning to build comparability between projects while, based on a higher level of knowledge, we havethe opportunity to set higher demands in material choices.
We actively work with well-being and skills development for our employees. Skills development is an important part of inspiring drive and commitment among our employees. Our employees' willingness to recommend us as employers in the eNPS measurements remains high at 42 points in the latest quarterly measurement in relation to the industry average of 20 points.
We choose to voluntarily report in accordance with the EU taxonomy for increased transparency and comparability in the industry. Preliminary and simplified reporting is made quarterly. 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 objective 1 to limit our climate impact.

Revenue for the quarter was SEK 639m (617) and the economic occupancy rate was 92 per cent (92). In a comparable portfolio, contracted rental income increased by 6.3 per cent in the quarter compared with the previous year. Other property management income totalled SEK 9m (10) and consisted mainly of the costs of work on leased premises that are passed on to tenants. Of our commercial rental income, 97 per cent have upward index adjustments, where 94 per cent have a CPI adjustment and 3 per cent a fixed upwards adjustment.

The property costs for the quarter were SEK 232m (228). Of the total property costs, SEK 5m (8) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.
The operating surplus was SEK 407m (389) and the surplus ratio was 65 per cent (64). For comparable properties, operating surplus increased by 7 per cent compared with the first quarter of the previous year.
The central administration expense was SEK 20m (20). Central administration includes Group-wide costs for staff functions, such as IT, annual reports, auditors' fees, legal advice and so on.
Net financial items for the quarter were SEK -187m (-144). The higher cost over the previous year is mainly related to higher market interest rates. The net financial items for the quarter are positively affected by derivatives and interest received from liquid investments. The interest costs for the quarter, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 4.6 per cent (3.7).
Property management income for the quarter, i.e., income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 200m (226). This is a decrease of 12 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, property management income decreased by 12 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year.
The average direct yield requirement in the valuation at the end of the quarter was 6.13 per cent (5.85), an increase of 2 reference points since the previous quarter. The unrealised change in value for the quarter1 was SEK 6m (-569), the realised change in value was SEK -69m (0) and is mainly attributable to the usual deduction of deferred tax and technical deductions in property sales. For more information, see Note 11. At 31 March, the market value was SEK 30,625m (31,215).
During the quarter, 0 properties (0) were acquired while 6 properties (2) were divested.

| Development rights | 0 | -6 |
| Unrealised change in value | 6 | -569 |
The portfolio of interest rate derivatives has been measured at fair value. If the contracted interest rate deviates from the market rate, a 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 226m (-79), which have been fully recognised in the income statement. The change in value is attributable to rising market interest rates.
The profit before tax was SEK 363m (loss: 423). The change in earnings is mainly attributable to unrealised changes in the value of properties and derivatives.
The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 20.6 per cent. There are no tax loss carry-forwards in the Group and there are untaxed reserves of SEK 493m (482). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax value by SEK 10,864m (15,865). Deferred tax has been calculated at SEK 10,864m (10,718). The difference is attributable to deferred tax on asset acquisitions. Diös has no ongoing tax disputes.

1 The comparative period Q1 2023 is restated due to capitalised interest expenses; see accounting policies in the Annual Report 2023.
Our tenant base is well diversified geographically and in terms of industry. There were 3,031 premises leases (3,204) and there were 2,210 residential leases (2,267). The ten largest tenants represent 18 per cent (18) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 31 March, 31 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 20 per cent of the annual contract value.
Net leasing for the quarter was SEK 1m (3). Major lettings during the quarter were to the Swedish Enforcement Authority in Gösen 7, Luleå, and Knowit Connectivity AB in Arken 8, Östersund, while major terminations were from Erikshjälpen in Svarven 21, Östersund, and Easit AB in Aeolus 9, Sundsvall.
The average contract term for commercial premises at 31 March was 4.0 years (4.2).
At 31 March, the economic vacancy rate was 8 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.

1 The period is restateddue to capitalised interestexpenses; see accounting policies in the Annual Report 2023.

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 31 March, 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, a long-term inflation assumption of 2 per cent, the estimated market rents at contract maturity, occupancy rate and property costs were taken into account. The market's return requirements are determined by an analysis of completed property transactions for properties with a similar standard and location. 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, ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS IN THE QUARTER PER BUSINESS

Investment Acquisitions Divestment
We have an ongoing project portfolio of SEK 3,464m, of which SEK 2,719m was earned at 31 March. Our investments, excluding project profits, contributed to an increase in the property portfolio's value by SEK 240m for the quarter. Investments in our existing portfolio comprise new builds, conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures. The return on concluded investments during the year was 8.5 per cent on the investment amount.
There are 7 project properties with a market value of SEK 1,853m. The total estimated investment is SEK 1,708m, where the produced investment at 31 March was SEK 1,179m.
No major projects were completed during the quarter.
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.

1 Underlying property value.
At 31 March, equity was SEK 11,227m (10,968). The equity ratio was 35.8 per cent (34.6). At the 2024 AGM, it was resolved that no dividend would be paid to the shareholders.
The commercial paper market has been stable with increased volumes. Short-term 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 16,746m (17,102). The change is mainly due to amortisation and the redemption of long-term liabilities. Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 12,487m (13,911) refers to bank financing, SEK 1,156m (556) to covered bonds, SEK 1,128m (660) to commercial paper and SEK 1,975m (1,975) of unsecured bonds. Future refinancing will normally be completed 3-9 months before the maturity date. At the end of the quarter, the loan-to-value ratio in the Group was 53.9 per cent (54.4). The secured loan-to-value ratio amounted to 43.8 percent (46.0). The average annual interest rate, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 4.5 per cent (4.5) at the end of the period and the interest coverage ratio for the period was 2.1 times (2.2).
The average fixed-rate term of the loans, including derivatives, was 2.8 years (2.7) and the average loan maturity 2.5 years (2.3). Of the Group's outstanding loans, SEK 4,018m (1,720) is subject to fixed interest rates, of which SEK 1,128m (660) refers to commercial paper.

New derivatives were restructured and subscribed for during the quarter. This meant that the remaining maturity decreased to 3.3 years compared with 3.7 years at the end of the year.
Out of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 11,250m (11,250) has been hedged through derivatives. At 31 March, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK -112m (-338). 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 19 in the Annual Report 2023). Changes in value are recognised through profit or loss.
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were SEK 207m (98) 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 commercial paper was SEK 1,090m (829).

Columns/rows may not add up due to rounding.
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 23 and in the descriptions of the purpose of the various KPIs in the annual report for 2023. The financial targets for 2024 adopted by the Board are presented on page 2 of this report.

The war in Ukraine as well as the conflict in Gaza and the resulting humanitarian disasters are a major setback for the world. The Gaza conflict, sanctions against Russia and changed world trade affect global flows of goods and capital as well as energy prices. There are clear risks to economic growth as a result of the conflicts when the availability of goods and products is affected by limited production capacity and disruptions to transport flows.
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.
